Tuning World Bodensee Friedrichshafen

Tuning World Bodensee is Europe’s largest trade fair event dedicated to car tuning, lifestyle, and club culture — a must-attend gathering each year for anyone passionate about automotive customization and car culture. Since its inception in 2003 by Messe Friedrichshafen GmbH, the event has evolved into an international platform for innovation, design, and subcultural trends. Combining industry trade show with public exhibition, it offers a unique experience for professionals and tuning enthusiasts alike — far beyond a traditional automotive show.

The event takes place at the state-of-the-art Friedrichshafen Exhibition Center on Lake Constance, a well-established venue in southern Germany known for its strategic location, modern infrastructure, and professional event management. Every year, around 100,000 visitors flock to the site to get up close with more than 1,000 stunning show cars, exclusive custom builds, and world premieres. Tuning World Bodensee isn’t just a trade fair — it’s a vibrant hub for style, community, and technical excellence.

The event’s content is just as diverse as its audience. Alongside traditional tuning, the spotlight also shines on performance parts, accessories, car hi-fi, wheels, and interior design — not to mention fashion, lifestyle products, and club culture. The sustainable preservation of vehicles is becoming increasingly relevant, especially as the average vehicle age rises — a trend that resonates strongly with many visitors. Technical innovation and current design trends are also integral parts of the show.

A major highlight is the dynamic entertainment program: high-performance drift shows, meet-and-greets with international stars from the tuning scene, and legendary after-show parties featuring renowned DJs all contribute to the event’s unforgettable atmosphere, turning each visit into a truly emotional experience. Messe Friedrichshafen GmbH — a seasoned organizer with a strong track record in trade fairs and event formats — continually raises the bar when it comes to execution, organization, and visitor engagement.

Tuning World Bodensee is much more than a product showcase. It’s a living display of international tuning culture, a dynamic business network with southern flair, and an inspiring platform for scene insiders — and for those who want to become one.

The Tuning World Bodensee will take place on 4 days from Thursday, 01. May to Sunday, 04. May 2025 in Friedrichshafen.
