Three years of passion, speed, and community—Tutto Bene Hillclimb proves the vibe only gets better.
Third year of Tutto Bene. And what this event is about comes down to one sentence: there’s no rope line here.
No barrier in front of the Pagani. No security in front of the F40. No PR team filtering who gets near. You walk between the cars, you talk to the drivers, you stand two metres from a smoking V12. That’s the whole concept — and that’s why the people who come, come.
Bentley, completely new. First public appearance of the new brand world — and it happens here. Not at a motor show, not in a showroom with controlled lighting. In the middle of the weekend, between the other cars, close enough to touch.
Powerslidelover drifts his Ferrari SP2 Monza. One of 499 in the world — two-seater speedster, normally on concours grass. Here: sideways across the hill, live, loud, close. Not shown. Driven.
An ex-rally world champion does donuts in a Ferrari F40. In a Ferrari F40. The car most owners now only touch with gloves. Here on a side lot: smoke, tyres, noise. Audience two metres away.
Genesis reveals the X Scorpio. World premiere on a hillclimb — no light show, no curtain. Just: car there, walk up, look, ask questions.
Pagani brings the Utopia. Manual gearbox, V12, successor to the Huayra. Parked among the other cars. No podium. You just walk over.
Oilstain Lab with a new concept. After the Half11, the next sculpture that asks you to think about cars differently. And Tutto Bene is one of the few places where something like that can stand between an F40 and a Utopia — and belong.
It’s the mix. Pagani next to Genesis. Hypercar next to pre-war. Active racer next to ex-world-champion. New Korean brand next to Italian legend. And nobody is behind a line.
Villa d’Este and Goodwood are great — but those are stages. Tutto Bene is the opposite: a place where the whole of car culture comes together without sorting itself into zones. The SP2 Monza owner, the F40 collector and the Genesis designer stand next to each other and talk. No hierarchy, no wristbands, no distance.
Who it’s for? For everyone who cares more about individuality and authenticity than about brand and price tag. Lifestyle without reservation. The most honest mix in the scene — hands-on, not display-only.
That’s why we’re coming back.

Philipp Lauterbach is the founder of DRIVTO, the curated identity and discovery platform for the European sportscar scene. Based in Düsseldorf, he has been building sportscar communities since August 2018 — first through the Cars+Coffee format in Düsseldorf, Cologne, Berlin, Mönchengladbach, and on Sylt, and since mid-2024 through DRIVTO as a platform with its own editorial magazine and proprietary DriverDNA methodology.
His path into the sportscar world began with an event-management apprenticeship inside a Mercedes-Benz dealer group. From there he moved into marketing roles at Ferrari and Maserati in Düsseldorf, where he became one of the defining marketing voices for these brands in Germany at the time. That phase also gave him his first direct contact with the Cars+Coffee movement — and the affinity for Italian cars that still shapes him today. Ferrari and Pagani have been at the center of what he himself seeks as a driver ever since.
Before DRIVTO, he established the Cars+Coffee stations across several German cities — an independent event series that at its most active phase connected more than 1,500 sportscar drivers across the DACH region. The DRIVTO driver community grew out of that base. His editorial focus sits on the pillars Cars Connect People (personal founder voice, driver stories) and State of the Scene (data-grounded market analyses, industry essays).
