Top Marques is an exclusive international supercar show, the only event of its kind in the world, where enthusiasts and luxury automobile fans come together to admire and purchase the latest models. The event is held annually in the Principality of Monaco, under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco.
Top
Marques Monaco is first and foremost a prestige car show, but encompasses
the wider world of luxury goods with spaces dedicated to premium watches,
jewellery, and amazing superboats.
The
show through the years...
When Top Marques was founded by Lawrie Lewis in 2004, the
idea was to create a "live" automobile event that went much further
than traditional, stationary car shows, allowing potential customers to
actually get behind the wheel of the vehicle they had set their sights on.
Originally held during the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters with around twenty cars on
display, the event was bought in 2018 by the hospitality and events management
firm Monaco Check-In, run by Salim Zeghdar.
Since 2019, it has taken place in June and now
features around one hundred vehicles. Every year, the event promises more and
more prestige cars and global launches, confirming its place as the world's
leading supercar show.
It is the essential rendez-vous for the planet's biggest luxury carmakers,
including Aston Martin, McLaren, Bugatti, and Bentley, all of whom come to show
off their latest creations.
Since 2004, the event has continually evolved to keep up with growing interest
and the latest technical and technological innovations.
Novelty
and nostalgia under one roof...
The
supercar show featured classic cars for the first time in 2022, its 17th year,
giving luxury car aficionados the chance to buy models from every era under one
roof, in the new classic car hall devoted to iconic sports cars from the 50s to
the 90s.
For
2024, around sixty iconic vehicles will be on display with stands dedicated to
classic models from Mercedes, Ferrari, and other legendary Formula 1
constructors including a handful of real gems, some of which are worth tens of
millions of euros.
A space has also been created for the most stunning, most
exceptional motorcycles of past, present and future, along with an area
dedicated to transportation innovations with outstanding aircraft.
As every year, there will be a big focus on
innovative vehicles running on alternative fuels, along with a number of
“restomods”, perennial favourites that have been updated for improved
performance and modern standards of comfort, while preserving their classic
style.
Since
the last edition, Top Marques has taken on a new dimension and become more
innovative and accessible than ever by going digital, enabling visitors who are
unable to come in person to experience the event for themselves, or to get
another look at the incredible vehicles on display.
Supercars,
and more…
Alongside the cars, Top Marques Monaco also has spaces
dedicated to luxury watches, jewellery, helicopters, motorcycles, and fashion.
In 2024, visitors can discover the up-and-coming
new Belgian brand, Fuchs & Gov. Superboats and the very latest models of
boats are also on display on the Esplanade outside the Grimaldi Forum.
Fasten
your seatbelts and get ready for the 20th Top Marques, at the Grimaldi Forum
from 8 to 11 May 2025.
For
four amazing days, Top Marques Monaco invites you to a unique experience where
you can discover the latest developments in the automobile world.
