A SHOW OF
RETRO CLASSICS &
MODERN SUPERCARS
THE VISION
“All the great car shows in the world have one thing in common, and that is a beautiful backdrop. There is Villa D’Este, which is the premier classic car event in Italy on the shores of Lake Como, and of course, Pebble Beach, in Monterey, Southern California. If you add to that the superlative roads and mountain passes right on our doorstep here in Mossel Bay, you have the makings of an event that could be unrivalled in its appeal to motoring connoisseurs.”
- Waldo Scribante, owner of the Scribs BENZeum in nearby George.
Santos Beach Auto Extremo is where the past and future of performance meet. It's a celebration of automotive passion
– from the raw elegance of retro classics to the razor-sharp precision of modern supercars.
These worlds aren't rivals – they're reflections of the same soul. Heritage meets horsepower, and every curve, every chrome detail, tells a story worth sharing.

THE NAME
The name "Auto Extremo" is abbreviated from the Portuguese for "Automóvel Extremo," reflecting the heritage of Mossel Bay, where Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias arrived in 1488. This connection highlights the historical significance and the excitement of high-speed supercars.
THE VENUE
Set against the breathtaking beachfront of De Bakke, Santos Beach in Mossel Bay, the setting for the Santos Beach Auto Extremo is nothing short of spectacular. With sweeping ocean views and golden sands, this unique coastal backdrop rivals the world’s most iconic concours venues – from Villa d’Este on Lake Como to the legendary Pebble Beach in California. Nowhere else in South Africa offers a stage quite like this – where Retro Classics and Modern Supercars meet the roar of the surf and the glow of the sun.
THE TRADITION
In tradition with the Southern Cape region of the Mercedes-Benz Club’s annual Spring Snoek Braai, now in its 29th year, the entrants and visitors can enjoy a day, relaxing under the trees amidst beautiful motorcars and fellow enthusiasts.
