Elegant Shanghai, Classic heritage
The long history of automobile culture originated in Europe and the United States. The world most famous Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is a scared place for car worshippers the world over, while Britain’s Goodwood Revival is a celebrated carnival of cars attended by young and old in period costume. Shanghai, the international metropolis, is now ready to takes its place among those revered automotive events with SSC.
The theme of the first SSC Super Festival in 2019 is "Shen" – the epitome of elegant and classical heritage. The SSC will ooze class in keeping with the status of Shanghai as a world-class destination of style for global brands.
Recently, a 1970 Shanghai brand SH-760 classic car and street snaps of star guests from the Shanghai Automobile Museum opened the prelude of SSC. In 1975, Shanghai Automobile Manufacturing Factory formed the capacity to produce 5,000 cars per year, making the SH-760 the first large-scale car in China. It has become an icon as a forerunner to today’s Chinese-produced automobiles.
The landmark Bund, the heart of urban life
SSC has entered into a co-operation with Shanghai Port to stage the event in 2019 at the international cruise terminal in the North Bund.
The exhibition hall facing the Huangpu River is across the river from the landmark of Shanghai city, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the Lujiazui Center in Pudong. It is also adjacent to the Bund World Architecture Complex in Puxi, forming the "golden triangle" of the incredible River view.
From May to June next year, SSC will be held for 32 days, spanning spring and summer. It is expected that 200,000 visitors will be able to enjoy not only the classic car artworks at the 5,000 square-meter indoor exhibitions, but also the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Huangpu River, day and night.
In addition to the eye-catching static exhibition, the music plaza, open green space and multi-function exhibition hall attached to the exhibition will feature live performances, parties, and forums with different themes each week.
