PRESS RELEASE - December 7, 2011

Preparing to hit the headlines in 2012

It’s that time of year when most of us muse on what we’ve done the past 12 months. At the risk of self-praise - we’re pretty proud of our achievements in 2011. With its debut Asian show surpassing all expectations last month and six supercar world premiere launches in our pocket at the April Monaco show - Top Marques is pretty satisfied that we did our bit for the supercar industry – not to mention the successes in the haute horlogerie, superboats and luxury domains that the exclusive show encompasses.
As we speak the leading supercar engineers are back to the R&D drawing boards with their vision for the next generation of high performance cars; many of our car manufacturers who exhibited at Top Marques Macau were inspired by the highly evolved tastes for technology and innovation of the Chinese buyers. Some are ahead of the game with Roding Automobile ready with a world premiere from Germany.
As for Top Marques Monaco, spurred on by our founder Lawrie Lewis, the show continues to reach for higher ground and the team looks forward to spearheading the car industry into new territory in 2012. Ready and waiting is the use of a closed section of the Monaco Grand Prix circuit for test drives of the most technically advanced and superior automobiles. Among the supercar manufacturers confirmed for the April 2012 show are Aston Martin, Fisker, GTA Motor, Hamann, Identity Cars, Jaguar, Noble, Pagani, Roding Automobile and Top Car.
Car makers are rising to the challenge of producing cleaner and more efficient vehicles while balancing the bespoke requests of discerning buyers. Last month we reported on an evolving trend for customization of the best models on the market. So we’re happy that DeLavilla - who specialise in the world of tailor-made motor cars and custom-made accessories - have announced that they are on board for Top Marques Monaco 2012. They join ranks with MTM - who focus on the Audi line in addition to Lamborghini, Bentley and Porsche - and Hamann who customise models by BMW, Porsche, Range Rover, Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Maserati, Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz.

For those seeking the ultimate in protection while not cutting on any extravagant corners there is Dartz's Prombron (featured below) tagged "The Car With Golden Wheels" and whose interior features bulletproof nano-skin.

In addition to pondering on the past it’s time to plan for the future. So think about booking your hotel to ensure your visit to the most exclusive live supercar show in the world Top Marques Monaco 19-22 April 2012. It’s surely a wish come true for someone you know.

Season’s Greetings from the Top Marques team!


Top Marques Monaco se prépare à faire la une des journaux en 2012

La fin de l’année est  le moment de réfléchir sur les 12 derniers mois. Nous sommes très fiers à Top Marques de nos réalisations en 2011. Avec le succès du lancement de notre premier salon en Asie en novembre et les six supercars qui ont été présentées en avant-première mondiale à Monaco au mois d’avril – nous sommes satisfaits du travail accompli pour l’industrie automobile. Il ne faut pas oublier nos exposants dans les domaines de la haute horlogerie, des bijoux, des tenders et des produits de luxe, qui participent également au salon.  

Actuellement les ingénieurs développent de nouveaux concepts pour la prochaine génération de bolides - les véhicules les plus performants au monde - version 2012. Nos exposants à Top Marques Macao ont trouvé une source d’inspiration parmi les visiteurs asiatiques, dont les goûts pour les nouvelles technologies sont très sophistiqués. Roding Automobile en Allemagne est prêt et même en avance –  avec son nouveau modèle qui sera présenté en avant-première mondiale à la 9ème édition du salon Top Marques Monaco (19-22 avril 2012).

L’équipe de Top Marques Monaco, encouragée par notre fondateur M. Lawrie Lewis, continue à viser plus haut et attend avec impatience de propulser le salon et l’industrie automobile à un niveau supérieur en 2012. Pour les essais (test drives), le mythique Circuit de Formule 1 de Monaco attend les supercars qui repoussent au maximum les limites de l’innovation et de la technologie. Parmi les marques confirmées pour 2012 figurent Aston Martin, Fisker, GTA Motor, Hamann, Identity Cars, Jaguar, Noble, Pagani, Roding Automobile et Top Car.

Les fabricants réalisent des investissements considérables afin d’améliorer la sécurité et l’efficacité des véhicules et créer une manière plus écologique de les alimenter. Le mois précèdent nous avons signalé une tendance à personnaliser et à inclure des accessoires sur mesure dans les supercars - même dans les modèles fabriqués en édition limitée – être unique, tout simplement, et se démarquer des autres conducteurs sur la route. Nous sommes donc ravis d’accueillir DeLavilla au salon à Monaco en 2012, ils sont spécialisés dans la personnalisation des voitures sur mesure. D’autres marques dans ce domaine sont MTM  - qui se concentre sur les modèles d’Audi ainsi que Lamborghini, Bentley et Porsche – et Hamann qui prépare les modèles de BMW, Porsche, Range Rover, Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Maserati, Aston Martin et Mercedes-Benz.

Pour ceux qui recherchent un haut niveau de protection sans remettre en question le confort et le luxe, le Prombron de Dartz sera présent, surnommé « La voiture aux roues d’or » dont l’intérieur est réalisé en « bulletproof nano-skin » (matériaux résistants aux balles).

Alors disons adieu à 2011 et souhaitons la bienvenue à 2012 avec une nouvelle version passionnante de l’unique salon automobile interactif au monde.

Toute l’équipe de Top Marques vous souhaite de Bonnes Fêtes.

RODING AUTOMOBILE

The new Roding Roadster is no average sportscar. It is engineered to be a lightweight, highly technological driving machine. The entire chassis is constructed with highest grade carbon fiber, resulting in superb crash safety and body rigidity. Lightweight high-tech components in combination with a BMW 6 in line 320 hp Turbo engine manifest in a staggering power to weight ratio of under 3 kg per horsepower. The 2 seater midengine concept and low weight of 950kg enable razor sharp handling and truly impressive track times - while still offering enough space for a pair of skis and some weekend luggage. The removable roof panels can be stored under the hood of this exceptional, handmade German sportscar, which will initially be available as a limited run of 23 pieces with a special race package. Whether on the race track or on a winding mountain road - the new Roding Roadster is guaranteed to stimulate your senses.

DELAVILLA

The 911 VRS in 2007, followed by the Cayman VRC in 2009 were the first DELAVILLA branded cars. The brand has now given its name to a new French company, officially set up in June 2011. DELAVILLA SAS is now structured so as to develop the concept of bespoke cars, "made in France", based on the models in the Porsche range.
The DELAVILLA concept has not changed since the conception of the very first vehicle in 2007; each car is unique, with its own silhouette and made-to-measure accessories.
Today, three models feature in the catalogue, the 911 VRS, the Cayman VRC and the R1. The end of 2011 will see the unveiling of the Speedster VRS (launch in january 2012). Development will continue with the Cayenne and the Panamera. This is therefore a very busy time for DELAVILLA SAS with the brand on display at trade fairs across France and Europe.
The arrival of the R1 marks another step forward for the French brand in the world of tailor-made motor cars.

La 911 VRS en 2007 puis le Cayman VRC en 2009 ont été les premières autos griffées DELAVILLA. Une marque qui a désormais donné son nom à une nouvelle société française, créée officiellement en juin 2011. DELAVILLA SAS est aujourd’hui structurée pour développer ce concept de véhicules sur-mesure, « à la française » et cela, toujours autour des modèles de la gamme Porsche.
Le concept DELAVILLA est le même depuis la conception du tout premier véhicule, en 2007 ; ce sont des autos uniques, avec des lignes spécifiques et des équipements sur-mesure. Aujourd’hui, 3 modèles, la 911 VRS, les Cayman VRC et R1 sont proposés au catalogue. À la fin de l’année, sera dévoilé un Speedster VRS (lancement en janvier 2012). Suivront des développements autour du Cayenne et de la Panamera. L’actualité de la SAS DELAVILLA est donc très chargée, tandis que la marque expose ses modèles sur divers salons français et européens.
Avec le R1, la griffe française fait un pas de plus dans le monde de la haute-couture automobile.
