Top Marques Monaco, one of the world’s most prestigious automotive events, will celebrate its 20th anniversary next month with an extraordinary edition offering enthusiasts a truly unique experience: a stunning display of supercars never seen before.

From May 7 to 11, 2025, at the Grimaldi Forum, this exceptional edition will pay tribute to the world of automobiles, featuring an incredible selection of cutting-edge supercars and classic vehicles, including a stunning Ferrari 250 Spyder California worth 14 million euros.

But that’s not all: the event will also showcase the Brabus Big Boy, a 12-meter-long rolling apartment worth 1.2 million euros, and a Junkers A50 Heritage—a 1920s aircraft replica. Both will be available for sale, along with most vehicles at the show. The program for this 20th celebratory edition was revealed during a press conference held today, April 2, at the Casino de Monte-Carlo.

“This year is very special for us,” said Emeric Garcia, the event director. “We are celebrating our 20th anniversary—20 years of supercars in the heart of Monaco, 20 years of world premieres with over 110 launches, 20 years of innovation and new technology, and 20 years under the high patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, whom I would like to thank.

“Top Marques has become a true launching pad, and this year we will present 13 new models, including 10 world premieres and 3 being showcased in Monaco for the first time. What a great birthday present!”

World Premieres

Among the supercars making their global debut is Aston Martin’s Vanquish Volante, the iconic British brand’s latest roadster, poised to become ‘the fastest and most powerful in the world.’ There will also be world premieres from across Continental Europe, including new models from Laffite Automobili (Italy), Rubau Cars (Spain), Saoutchik (Netherlands), and Brabus (Germany), along with Mansory, represented by Stars Monte-Carlo, and TOP CAR, represented by EliteWrap. Lastly, Klassen will unveil a fully customized luxury van, a favorite among celebrities.

Included in the supercars making their Monaco debut, BPM Exclusive will showcase the Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider and the Rolls Royce BB Spectre, while Groupe Segond Automobiles will present the Lamborghini Temerario. “No supercar presentation would be complete without a nod to our ambassador GMK,” said Mr. Garcia. “GMK, who has been with us since 2022, will bring his latest vehicles to a dedicated area. Don’t miss his autograph session on Sunday, May 11, at 3 p.m.!”

**The New York Times

Informa plc, the global leader in events, digital services, and academic research, has announced plans to further strengthen its long-term partnership with the Principality of Monaco by integrating Top Marques into its portfolio. This follows Informa’s recent proposed acquisition of Ascential plc, which includes brands such as Cannes Lions and Money20/20, and the build out of its Informa Festivals business.

Top Marques Monaco is one of the world’s premier luxury automotive event brands, showcasing the latest innovations in supercars, hypercars, classic cars, as well as luxury lifestyle products. Since its inception in 2004, it has been the launch platform for over 100 new supercar models. The event’s 20th edition will be celebrated from 7 to 11 May 2025.

Top Marques to benefit from Informa’s international scale & influence

This new development builds on Informa’s long-standing relationship with Monaco, which began with the prestigious Monaco Yacht Show. For more than a decade, Informa has helped shape the yacht show into the global reference for superyachts. The success of the Monaco Yacht Show laid the foundation for Informa’s expansion into other luxury markets, and today the partnership spans over 15 brands across yachting, art, and lifestyle sectors in Europe and the US. Most recently, the leading media brand for the Superyacht industry, BOAT International, was added into the partnership portfolio.

By adding Top Marques to the existing Informa/Monaco partnership, the luxury event brand will benefit from Informa’s international scale and influence across Luxury, Lifestyle, and adjacent markets such as Aviation, Technology, and Jewellery. Informa’s extensive experience will further position Top Marques Monaco as a leading global platform for luxury, innovation, and high-end market growth.

“The ideal partner to elevate Top Marques to even greater heights”

Salim Zeghdar, of Monaco Check-In, a receptive agency and the organiser of Top Marques Monaco, said: “Informa’s extensive international network and expertise in scaling specialist brands make them the ideal partner to elevate Top Marques Monaco to even greater heights.”

Stephen Carter, Group CEO of Informa, added: “Luxury is a growing market, and through our partnership with Monaco, we have developed a unique portfolio of specialist brands. Top Marques Monaco is a valuable addition with significant potential for growth both within Monaco and internationally.”

Top Marques Monaco, one of the world’s most exclusive luxury automobile shows, is thrilled to announce a significant milestone: a remarkable 32% increase in ticket sales for this year’s event. This unprecedented surge in attendance underscores the show’s growing appeal and its unmatched position in the luxury and automotive industries.

The 2024 edition of Top Marques Monaco which was held in June, showcased a dazzling array of high-performance vehicles, cutting-edge automotive technology, and bespoke luxury items, drawing enthusiasts and industry leaders from around the globe. Held at the Grimaldi Forum, the event provided a unique platform for manufacturers to unveil their latest innovations and for aficionados to experience the pinnacle of automotive excellence with 13 world launches.

“This extraordinary increase in ticket sales is a testament to the enduring allure and prestige of Top Marques Monaco,” said Emeric Garcia, show director. “Our team has worked tirelessly to curate an event that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our discerning audience. We are delighted to see such a positive response and are committed to continuing to elevate the Top Marques Monaco experience.

“We would like to thank each and every one of our visitors for coming to Top Marques Monaco, as well as our sponsors and exhibitors, without whom the show would not be possible. More than 60% of our exhibitors have already confirmed their participation for 2025.”

This year’s Top Marques Monaco welcomed a diverse audience from all corners of the world, with visitors traveling from Africa, New Zealand, Canada, South America and numerous other countries to experience the event. The international turnout highlights the universal fascination with automotive

innovation and luxury showcased at Top Marques Monaco.

It also reflects the successful implementation of strategic marketing initiatives and partnerships that expanded the show’s reach to new demographics and markets. Social media campaigns, influencer collaborations, and media partnerships played crucial roles in attracting a broader audience.

“We are incredibly grateful to our partners, exhibitors, and attendees for their continued support,” added Mr Garcia. “Their enthusiasm and passion drive us to innovate and deliver an exceptional event year after year.”

Unprecedented media presence

Almost 300 journalists from more than 30 countries attended the four-day event, resulting in thousands of articles, TV programs, and online reviews about Top Marques Monaco worldwide.

Meanwhile more than 80 content creators including GMK, France’s leading automotive content creator, made an appearance at the show, drawing significant attention and engagement across social media platforms.

“I am very happy to have chosen Top Marques Monaco for my worldwide presentation of the Laffite LM1,” founder of Laffite Automobili, Bruno Laffite, said yesterday. “I am very satisfied with the show and the number and quality of visitors. We’ve had a lot of media feedback and a great deal of interest from influencers. I’ll be back next year.”

“A new edition with a host of new products, and increasingly exceptional products. Top Marques is a must-attend event for our customers,” added Manon Durrafourd, Communications and Marketing Director of the Monaco Luxury group.

An Eco-responsible Event

This year, Top Marques Monaco placed particular emphasis on sustainability and eco-responsible innovation with one in four supercars being either electric or hybrid.

Several exhibitors unveiled eco-friendly solutions, such as the Quantino by nanoFlowcell, the first battery-free electric supercar, the Artura Spider by McLaren, the Pininfarina Battista Edition Nino Farina, the Hybrid Lamborghini Urus and new products from BYD and Tesla, including the Cybertruck, which was a huge success on its first visit to the Principality.

This move towards greener luxury was welcomed by visitors and industry professionals alike.

Rare Classic Cars

The show also featured a dazzling array of 20th-century vintage cars, including a Flèche d’Argent from 1937, American supercars from Fast N Classic and rare gems from Boutsen Classic Cars worth more than 17 million euros. In total, there were more than 70 collectors’ vehicles, including notable vintage models from Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Bugatti and Bentley, among others.

For Haute Horlogerie and Joaillerie enthusiasts, the show also highlighted a number of exceptional watches and jewellery, as well as motorbikes, superboats and art. Sales were confirmed in all sectors.
