What is Top Marques Monaco?

Top Marques Monaco is a prestigious annual exhibition of supercars, hypercars and luxury goods held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monte-Carlo. Since its launch in 2004, the event has established itself as one of the world's premier showcases for high-end automotive innovation and luxury lifestyle.

The show

The exhibition typically spans several days and brings together manufacturers, designers and collectors from across the globe. The showroom floor features the latest models from both established marques and boutique hypercar builders, alongside luxury watches, jewellery and lifestyle brands.

What sets Top Marques apart from other motor shows is its emphasis on live test drives. Attendees can take selected supercars out on the streets of Monaco, an experience unmatched at any other event. Driving through the tunnels and along the harbour in a new hypercar is a major draw for enthusiasts.

Beyond the cars

While automobiles dominate, the show has broadened to include luxury watches, high-end technology, bespoke jewellery and other premium products. This positions it as a broader luxury lifestyle event rather than a pure car show.

Practical information

  • When: typically held in April or June (check the official website for exact dates each year).
