Autofest City is India's largest collection of authentic scale models founded by brothers Clyde and Neil D'Costa. The collection has authentic replicas spanning over 140 years of transportation history, with special emphasis on automobiles.

Autofest City has replicas of historically important automobiles from leading marques like Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lamborghini, Porsche, Jaguar and Volkswagen.

Located in Mysore and housed in a 720 sq. ft. building, Autofest City has earned international acclaim for its unique displays.

The collection began with two Scale 40 models by Maisto bought at a store in Mysore in early 1996 and today has over 1,200 replicas of historically important automobiles.

Adding value to the scale 40 & 43 models on display is diorama–petrol pumps, car washes, dealership buildings and theme parks, a truck stop, railway station, church, police station, construction site, and business park.

Autofest City is a collection of interesting and informative displays of scale models. Within each display are technical details of the real automobile with a list of highlights, detailed photographs of the real automobile, printed logos, a photograph of the automobile company’s founder (where applicable), a miniature flag of the country of origin and any other piece of information to enhance the value of the model on display.

The collection has authentic replicas of the world's first combustion engined automobiles, airplane and steam-engines.
