Supercar showdown on Rodeo Drive as Batmobile lines up with world's rarest racers

A real-life Batmobile drew crowds Sunday on Rodeo Drive, sharing the spotlight with some of the rarest and most valuable supercars in the world as Beverly Hills hosted its annual Concours d’Elegance.

The free Father’s Day event returned for its 31st year, turning the famed shopping district into a showcase of hypercars, vintage automobiles and coach-built treasures.

Organized in partnership with the City of Beverly Hills and the Rodeo Drive Committee, this year’s celebration honors America’s approaching 250th anniversary while also recognizing Rodeo Drive’s 50-year milestone.

Presented by O’Gara Coach Beverly Hills, the 2026 Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance features a carefully curated lineup of rare, exotic and collectible vehicles from around the world.

The event also pays tribute to the 100th anniversary of historic Route 66 and its lasting influence on American automotive culture.

Among the standouts was a bright red Corvette Stingray that commanded attention along the boulevard. A pristine beige Rolls-Royce added a touch of old-world elegance, while a classic red Ferrari and a signature yellow Porsche gave spectators the luxury sightings they came to see. Still, the Batmobile proved hard to beat, gleaming in black and outfitted with the kind of high-tech details fit for a superhero.

“The Concours d’Elegance is an annual tradition our community looks forward to every year,” Beverly Hills Mayor Craig A. Corman said.

“Aside from being a rare opportunity to see so many classic and modern ‘trophy’ cars lined up side-by-side on Rodeo Drive, it brings both residents and visitors together to experience the energy our city creates for all to enjoy.”

The annual showcase has become one of Southern California’s premier automotive events, drawing collectors, enthusiasts and families who want an up-close look at some of the most exclusive vehicles ever built.

“America celebrates 250 years of history, innovation and enduring spirit, and this year’s Rodeo Drive Concours carries a special significance as a celebration of the passion, craftsmanship and ingenuity that have long defined our nation’s love for the automobile,” Rodeo Drive Concours Chairman Bruce Meyer said.

“We are always proud to welcome families, collectors and enthusiasts from around the world, but especially this year, as we celebrate this iconic Father’s Day tradition during such a historic moment for our country.”

Organizers said the event features everything from the latest hypercars to classic automotive icons, making it a moving tribute to both luxury cars and America’s car history.

“As Rodeo Drive celebrates its 50th anniversary, this year’s Concours d’Elegance is especially meaningful because it honors the enduring connection between luxury, style and automotive culture that has defined the street for decades, from the craftsmanship and innovation of the finest automobiles ever made, to the passion and community they inspire,” Rodeo Drive Committee President Kathy Gohari said.

“We’re excited to welcome everyone to experience this iconic celebration on Father’s Day during such a landmark year for Rodeo Drive.”

In addition to the rows of high-end machinery parked along Rodeo Drive, attendees can explore interactive exhibits, enjoy gourmet food trucks and take part in family-friendly attractions.

Proceeds from the event benefit the Beverly Hills Police Foundation and the Beverly Hills Fire Chief’s Fund, which support first responders and their families.
