The 20th edition of Top Marques Monaco, which concluded yesterday at the Grimaldi Forum, has been declared the most successful in the event’s history. Over four days, the show welcomed an especially large audience, confirming the growing appeal of Top Marques Monaco among enthusiasts and collectors from around the world. This year’s edition showcased 190 exceptional vehicles, nearly 100 exhibitors, and attracted over 370 accredited journalists and content creators.

The 2025 edition was officially opened on Thursday, May 8 by H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, who kicked off the event by unveiling several of the 13 world premieres presented this year — a strong demonstration of Monaco’s role as an international hub for automotive innovation and excellence.

Among the unveiled models were two supercars by the famous Monegasque influencer and Top Marques ambassador GMK: a customized Lamborghini Aventador SV and a high-performance Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. Prince Albert II also revealed the Rubau hypercar from Spain, as well as the Monaco edition of the LM1 by Laffite Automobili — a model he personally helped design, providing input on the interior and exclusive color choices. He also took special interest in the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante presented by BPM Exclusive and the spectacular Lamborghini Temerario from Groupe Segond Automobiles.

Sales were one of the highlights of this year’s event, with numerous confirmed transactions across all sectors, including several vehicles sold for over one million euros — clear evidence of the exceptional quality of the showcased models and the high purchasing power of the targeted audience. From supercars to rare classic cars, along with luxury watches and jewelry, deals were made consistently throughout the four days, reinforcing the show’s status as a must-attend event for high-end collectors.

The show launched with an exclusive VIP Preview Cocktail on Wednesday evening, sponsored by main partner zondacrypto, setting the tone for four days of elite networking and major transactions.

“I met a potential buyer at Wednesday night’s cocktail,” said an exhibitor from the Classic Car Hall. “He called me first thing the next morning to confirm the purchase of a supercar.”

Among the notable attendees were F1 drivers Charles and Arthur Leclerc, Gabriel Bortoleto, Fernando Alonso, and Valtteri Bottas, comedian Roman Frayssinet, basketball players Mike James and Elie Okobo, football legends Robert Pirès and Giorgio Chiellini, and international footballer Breel-Donald Embolo. Automotive influencers GMK and Shmee150 also contributed to the event’s buzz and digital reach as well as Camille Gottlieb, Princess Stephanie of Monaco’s daughter and successful influencer.

This year also marked the first edition held under the new partnership with Informa, bringing expanded international reach and enhanced operational expertise to this already prestigious show.

Top Marques Monaco 2025 would not have been possible without the support of its sponsors and official partners, including zondacrypto, Dassault Aviation, Need for Touring, Deco Flamme, and A Roca GOURMET.

Emeric Garcia, Director of Top Marques Monaco, said: “This edition marked a true turning point, as it exceeded all our expectations. We reached a new milestone in terms of vehicle quality, commercial results, and audience profile. We’ve never received so much positive feedback from our exhibitors, many of whom confirmed their participation for next year during the preview night on Wednesday.

“We are preparing an even more ambitious 2026 edition, and I can already confirm that several global premieres are scheduled.

“Save the date: next year’s show will be held from May 6 to 10, 2026.”
