Since 2004, the Top Marques show has been bringing together the best of luxury vehicles in Monaco.

It has been described as “the most exclusive car show in the world” by the New York Times. Since it was first held in 2004, Top Marques has been attracting the biggest names in the car industry to the Principality each year, along with niche manufacturers (Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, Bentley, McLaren, Aston Martin, Maserati, Pininfarina, etc.). “The aim of Top Marques is to present the most extraordinary supercars and hypercars around right now and coming soon,” says organiser Salim Zeghdar.

Top Marques is intended to be an exclusive platform. In 2023, several global and European launches will be unveiled at the Grimaldi Forum, including the QUANTiNO by nanoFlowcell, the first battery-free e-roadster, or the FLEX by Venturi, a lunar rover which will go to the moon with SpaceX in 2026.

Innovative, and even flying vehicles (cars, bikes, helicopters) are regularly presented at Top Marques. The organisers aim to ensure that the new technology and eco-innovation sector accounts for at least 30% of all participants by 2025. In 2022, the star of the show was the latest replica of the Aston Martin DB5, driven by secret agent 007 in the film “Goldfinger”. A legendary car with machine guns, rotating licence plates and even a smoke screen device.

In 2022, Top Marques launched its classic cars section in partnership with Rétromobile. In this 3,000 m2 section, collectors and car lovers can view – or buy – some legendary cars from the 1950s to the 1990s, or F1 vehicles driven by top drivers. In 2023, the motor show is also holding its first ever Ferrari only auction, in which a selection of classic Ferraris will go under the hammer. Another new feature is the first ever Carspotters Awards, the jury of which is presided by GMK, an ambassador of Top Marques Monaco and a famous automotive influencer.

Although a prestigious car show, Top Marques also has an area devoted to high-end watches and jewellery and superboats. An art gallery presents works of art inspired by the mechanics and innovations of transport.

It was at Top Marques that the MC One, a made-in-Monaco flying car, was presented. The vehicle weighs 160 kilograms, is equipped with eight electric propeller engines and has an upward acceleration capacity of 17 metres per second and a top speed of between 120 and 140 kilometres per hour. Its designer, MC Clic, previously took part in the flying Renault 4L project.

The Monegasque company, which specialises in drones, has also designed an autonomous version of the vehicle, capable of looping the loop in mid-air.
