With Thierry Neuville, Belgium now has its very first WRC world champion. Autoworld could not let such a historic event go unnoticed and is dedicating its first pop-up exhibition of 2025 to the spectacular world of the World Rally Championship (WRC). Until February 28, Autoworld is counting down to the fire-spitting, gravel-slinging opening of the exhibition "Rally Legends – From Dust to Glory." This thrilling journey through the WRC will feature a unique collection of championship-winning cars, legendary drivers and co-drivers, and countless big and small stories that have made the WRC such an incredible motorsport. To kick off the event, Autoworld is hosting a spectacular "Rally Legends Preview Night featuring Thierry Neuville"on Friday, February 28 for the general public. Thierry Neuville himself, along with his Hyundai i20 WRC, will be the star of this unforgettable opening night. A must-see event! Thierry Neuville became Belgium’s first WRC world champion in 2024, alongside his co-driver Martijn Wydaeghe, but the WRC story dates back to 1973. It all started with Alpine-Renault, who claimed the very first WRC title with the stunning A110. This is where the story begins, and as always, Autoworld will bring it to life with a unique and immersive scenography. The legendary Alitalia Lancia Stratos, specially brought in from the Lancia Museum in Turin, will take over from the A110, alongside the iconic Lancia HF Delta Integrale, which dominated the WRC between 1987 and 1992. Before that, the ‘old school’ Fiat 131 Abarth and Ford Escort RS1800 had to make way for the fire-breathing Group B monsters, such as the revolutionary Audi Quattro, the nimble Lancia 037, and the lightning-fast Peugeot 205 T16. The exhibition wouldn’t be complete without the Japanese champions like the Toyota Celica, the GR Yaris, and the Subaru Impreza. Nor will it forget the dominant ‘French’ years, marked by Peugeots and, above all, Citroëns, including Thierry Neuville’s DS3. In short, "Rally Legends – From Dust to Glory" will offer a complete overview of what has made the WRC so legendary—from the paved Col de Turini to the snow-covered Margam, and the dust- and gravel-filled Ouninpohja, just to name a few iconic rally stages. A must-see event for anyone who wants to experience the WRC like never before!

The word "icon" is often misused. However, if there is one car that truly deserves to be called "iconic," it is the Citroën DS. The impact left by the "Déesse" (French for godess) when it was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 1955 has rarely been matched, let alone surpassed. From April 25 to June 29, "la bombe Citroën," as the DS was called at its launch, will once again make an impact at Autoworld. Autoworld presents a unique collection in "Citroën DS – An Icon Turns 70" showcasing almost every version and variant. From the first ID19 to the ID19 Pallas, which embodied pure luxury, to the DS23 Pallas, the last DS to roll off the production line in 1975. As the icing on the cake, starting May 26, the Citroën DS "Ballons" will join the exhibition. This iconic model was designed in 1959 by Claude Puech, then director of advertising at Citroën, and was first presented at the Paris Motor Show. The DS Balloons features a DS 19 in the orange shade "Ecaille Blonde," resting on four enormous balloons instead of wheels. These symbolize the spheres of the famous hydropneumatic suspension, creating the illusion that the car is floating. Photos of this visionary idea spread around the world at the time, reinforcing the DS's status as an avant-garde and timeless work of art. Having become a standalone brand, DS Automobiles will present the all-new DS N°8, which will also be exhibited in the museum. This 100% electric SUV builds on the reputation of the original DS. The DS N°8 is inspired by the DS AERO SPORT LOUNGE concept. It offers impeccable quality, long range, and total comfort, making it the most serene electric car. The DS N°8 boasts a WLTP range of 750 km and over 500 km on the highway, thanks to an excellent drag coefficient (Cx) of 0.24. On Sunday, May 4, from 10 AM to 2 PM, Autoworld organises a "Citroën-DS & Coffee" Event. Owners of Citroën classics or any DS model (including current models) are invited— upon pre-registration via the Autoworld website—to join this unique birthday celebration on the Esplanade in front of the museum, honoring the DS. Visitors are also warmly welcome to admire the stunning Citroëns and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere surrounding this legendary French car. This exhibition is organized by Autoworld with the support of DS Automobiles and the Amicale of Belgian Citroën Clubs (ABCC).
