South Florida has embraced the concept with a variety of activities and events, with the 1000 Miglia Experience Florida being one of the first to join. Focused on celebrating automotive culture and bringing together car enthusiasts from near and far, Miami Car Week is set to be an unforgettable experience, finally giving the city’s vibrant automotive scene the long-deserved “Car Week” the city has been waiting for.
“When we set our sights on hosting the next big lifestyle and concours event in 2024, Miami was the obvious choice. The city, the people, and the community truly embraced us, making the event a huge success,” said Ethan Gibson, Director of Communications, ModaMiami. “As we geared up for 2025, the interest has been so high that ‘Miami Car Week’ naturally became part of the conversation as other events and businesses expressed interest in joining ModaMiami. Now, we’ve got car enthusiasts hosting Cars and Coffee events, and the addition of the 1000 Miglia Experience Florida to Miami Car Week shows just how excited everyone is. The future of ModaMiami and Miami Car Week is incredibly bright, and we can’t wait to share more exciting updates in the coming months.”
1000 Miglia Experience Florida
The most beautiful race in the world, as Enzo Ferrari called it, is coming to the United States. From February 22 to 25, 2025, the ‘1000 Miglia Experience Florida’ will debut, the official 1000 Miglia-style event that, for the first time, will allow fans of the Red Arrow in the US, both as participants and spectators, to see the most prestigious vintage cars competing alongside Supercars and Hypercars.
The race will follow a three-stage route, starting and finishing at The Biltmore Hotel, that includes the famed 1000 Miglia timed trials. The first stage, on February 23, will cover Miami, Coral Gables, Naples, and Tampa. The second, on February 24, will go from Tampa to Cape Canaveral and West Palm Beach. The third and final stage, on February 25, will run from West Palm Beach to Miami, for a total of approximately one thousand miles.
“The 1000 Miglia is one of the finest ambassadors of ‘Made in Italy’ in its most elegant sense. It is a way to showcase the beauty and style of our country.” – Claudia Maria Golinelli, President of the official licensee company of the 1000 Miglia Experience Florida. “We are incredibly proud of this partnership and confident that it will propel us to new heights.” – said Massimo Cicatiello, President of the 1000 Miglia Experience Florida.
“My passion for cars and racing has evolved into a long and successful career that I deeply cherish. The Mille Miglia has always captivated me, as it is regarded as one of the most prestigious and historic endurance races in the world. It represents the pinnacle of automotive passion, innovation, and camaraderie, celebrating a legacy that unites car enthusiasts while showcasing the beauty of both classic and modern vehicles. I have run two Mille Miglias in Italy and had a wonderful time. I made great new friends and met passionate car people and, for it to debut in North America, in my home state of Florida, it creates an incredible opportunity that will enhance ModaMiami and Miami Car Week, making it an unforgettable experience.” – Bill Warner, Honorary Chairman, ModaMiami
