Under the Hood: Experience the Engines that Made History at Revs Institute
June 10 - July 19, 2025
This summer, the rare becomes routine at Revs Institute.
From June 10 through July 19, Revs Institute in Naples, Florida invites visitors to look beneath the surface—literally. Hoods Up, our annual celebration of automotive engineering, returns with unparalleled access to the inner workings of some of the most significant cars ever built.
For a limited time, the hoods of select vehicles across all four of Revs’ renowned galleries will be raised, revealing the engines that powered racing legends, shaped eras of innovation, and forever altered the trajectory of automotive history.
Whether you’re a seasoned car enthusiast, a curious newcomer, or a student of engineering, Hoods Up offers a unique opportunity to study the details that define greatness: hand-polished carburetors, era-defining mechanical systems, and design solutions that pushed performance to new heights.
What to Expect:
- Open access to view under-hood components of iconic cars in the Automobility, Vitesse, Revs, and Porsche galleries
- Up-close perspectives that are typically reserved for technicians and curators.
Why It Matters:
Revs Institute is more than a museum—it’s a working collection, dedicated to the preservation and deeper understanding of automotive excellence. Hoods Up provides visitors with a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship and ingenuity behind these historically significant vehicles, many of which remain in running condition thanks to the Institute’s world-class restoration team.
