Marking its five-year anniversary, The Bridge returned to the grounds of the original Bridgehampton Race Circuit at The Bridge golf club on Saturday, September 18. The invite-only exhibition, presented by Richard Mille, featured more than 250 incredibly rare cars sourced from collectors around the globe and arranged in automotive splendor across the rolling fairways overlooking the Peconic Bay.

Some of the many highlights included the North American debut of the Calder BMW Art Car (Artist’s Proof). Coming just weeks off of its first reveal at the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, for the opening of “Alexander Calder; Minimal/Maximal,” the Artist’s Proof, conceived by BMW Group Classic for the Calder Foundation, realizes Calder’s dream of creating his own example of the first BMW Art Car, operating as the kinetic work of art that the artist intended.

Following its North American unveiling at Pebble Beach, Ferrari displayed the new 296 GTB, an evolution of its famed mid-rear-engined berlinetta sports car.

Two automotive parades punctuated the event. The first, from Lamborghini, included approximately 20 cars in an array of bright colors. A long line of Bentleys also entered the event in tandem.

Bugatti returned to the event, this time with the Chiron Pur Sport and Chiron Super Sport. McLaren’s 765LT Spider and Artura were on display, as was Lucid with their Grand Touring Black and Dream Edition. Aston Martin showcased the Valhalla, as well as the DBX, their first luxury SUV. NetJets brought its full-sized Cessna Longitude mock-up.

Giorgio Armani showcased its Fall 2021 collection. Every guest received a key to unlock a box, with one successful individual winning items and experiences across the world of Armani.

The vintage automotive showcase was more spectacular than ever with a selection of incredible cars curated from collectors all over the world.

The Bridge is a collaboration between Robert Rubin, who has owned the Bridgehampton Race Circuit since 1981 and founded The Bridge golf club in 2002, and the event’s organizers, Shamin Abas, President of Shamin Abas Ultra-Luxury Brand Marketing and Business Development; and Jeffrey Einhorn, a Manhattan-based attorney.
