The impressive selection of vehicles, artistic pieces and architectural documents that make it up go through the main technological achievements obtained in the automotive field, merging them with their enormous social and cultural implications. Practically since the invention of the automobile , both its brand new appearance and its association with speed, a sense of adventure, autonomy, modernity and progress have seduced artists and architects, to the point of soon becoming a constant in their creations.

Some scenarios that, according to all the specialists, share three main axes: the use of new digital technologies, innovation in design and maximizing care for the environment through renewable energies and the circular economy.
