EUROPEAN TUNING SHOWDOWN

It’s not first impressions that matter here – it’s every single detail.

The European Tuning Showdown (ETS) is considered one of Europe’s most prestigious show-and-shine competitions. In Hall B3, 48 hand-selected vehicles face off – by invitation only. Many of them were built specifically for this moment.

Precision, attention to detail, and craftsmanship take center stage. An international panel of experts evaluates each vehicle over several rounds – until a head-to-head showdown reveals which build truly stands out. On the final day of the show, the champion is traditionally crowned at the award ceremony.

What makes the ETS special: Show cars from all over Europe compete against each other with different approaches, but a shared standard. Whoever wins here doesn’t just get a title, but recognition throughout the entire scene.

In 2026, Markus Bleimbrunner from Germany secured victory with his Ford F100 “Resto-Mod.” Join the excitement live as another one-of-a-kind vehicle is elevated to the tuning Olympus in 2027.
