The 2026 Celebrated Marque & Celebrated Race Car
Carrozzeria Zagato
Among Italian coachbuilders, Zagato has consistently produced beautiful, innovative, and forward-thinking cars, both in form and function. When automakers seek something truly special, they turn to Zagato. The California Mille will be considering all Zagato-bodied sports car models built between 1927 and December 1957 for the celebrated marque class. Zagato-bodied cars built between 1958 and 1967 may be considered as exceptions on a case-by-case basis.

Spyder: Celebrating the Epic Mid-Engine Porsche Race Cars of the 1950s and Early 1960s
Few models have been honored by Porsche with the name “Spyder.” Such is the reverence the marque holds for this designation that every car to bear it has been something truly special.
For this class, the California Mille is accepting authentic Porsche 550/550A Spyders (1953–1956) and Porsche 718 models (1957–1962).

Don’t have a Zagato or Porsche Spyder? No problem! The California Mille will always welcome any and all cars that could have participated in the original Mille Miglia. See the full guidelines for car eligibility here on the California Mille website.
