TUNING WORLD BODENSEE

That was Europe's largest exhibition event for car tuning, lifestyle and club-scene in 2026

It’s hard to put into words what happened this weekend: huge crowds, spine-tingling moments and pure love for the scene everywhere you looked. You’ve made Tuning World Bodensee what it is: a home for everyone with petrol running through their veins. 111,000 visitors, an incredible atmosphere – and it’s all down to you.

For all those who love the sound of engines, low-slung cars and genuine scene moments, next year’s date is already set. Best to pop it straight into your calendar and set aside the weekend: 
May 6 – 9, 2027.

We look forward to seeing you there!

The Club and Private Car Area (powered by TUNING and VW Speed) are the community's hotspots. Here, individuals with their modified vehicles come together for exchange and get-togethers, while the most popular crews gather in the Style Mile. Unique to the event is the European Tuning Showdown (ETS), Europe's highest-paid Show & Shine competition, held annually at the Friedrichshafen exhibition grounds, where the crème de la crème of top show cars compete for the crown in top-tier tuning. With ever-changing new themed areas, such as motorsport, Asia, or U.S. halls, Tuning World Bodensee continuously evolves and adapts to the latest trends in the scene. After-show parties with renowned DJs and action-packed drift shows round off the overall tuning concept.
