A dazzling showcase of classic and hypercars, motorbikes, private jets, exquisite jewellery, and timeless watches at the prestigious Grimaldi Forum.
From 7 -11 June, in the heart of Monaco, where opulence and elegance converge, the prestigious Salon Top Marques event takes centre stage, captivating the senses of luxury enthusiasts from around the world. Nestled within the famed Grimaldi Forum, this unparalleled exhibition unveils a breathtaking display of the finest luxury cars, motorcycles, private jets, and exquisite timepieces, drawing aficionados and connoisseurs alike into a world where craftsmanship and innovation coalesce.
The focal point of Salon Top Marques Monaco is undoubtedly the remarkable assortment of automobiles. From classic cars to cutting-edge hypercars, the event offers a glimpse into the extraordinary world of super-exclusive automobiles, from timeless classics to cutting-edge, alternative-powered custom vehicles.
The 2023 edition is bigger than ever, with a focus on innovation, the vehicles of tomorrow, and some exceptional new pieces, including the hydrogen-cell Matador and the 100% electric, battery-free NanoFlowCell hypercar. Guests will even get to see the prototype for the next lunar rover made in Monaco by Venturi.
Car enthusiasts can witness a dazzling showcase of rare and iconic vehicles, curated to perfection. Among the highlights of these classic cars are from Boutsen Classics, the esteemed collection of local Monegasque and F1 driver Thierry Butsen. These timeless beauties will no doubt captivate attendees with their timeless allure. Meticulously restored to their former glory, Boutsen's classic cars pay homage to the golden age of automotive design, embodying elegance, sophistication, and a rich heritage.
First Ferrari auction
This year, Top Marques announced its first-ever auction of rare Ferraris. "L'Asta Rossa" is organised by Monaco Car Auctions and will feature over 40 modern and classic models, including the 365 GTC/4 "Beach Car", one of the 14 Ferrari 250 GT Boanos, and a 488 GTB modified for ice driving in Lapland. The auction kicks off with the sale of Fernando Alonso's Enzo. A signed helmet from Charles Leclerc has been donated for charity.
Despite the ageless beauty of the classic cars, it is the presence of hypercars that truly steals the spotlight at this car show. Salon Top Marques brings together the crème de la crème of modern automotive engineering, showcasing iconic vehicles that push the boundaries of speed, luxury, and innovation. From the awe-inspiring Bugatti Chiron to the adrenaline-inducing Ferrari LaFerrari, each hypercar on display epitomises the pinnacle of automotive achievement. Bentley and McLaren, renowned for their craftsmanship and performance, present their latest models, mesmerising attendees with their sleek lines and technological marvels. Guests are also treated to an array of custom-built automotive marvels from Picasso, Brabus, and Scara 73.
Motorbike enthusiasts are not forgotten, as Salon Top Marques Monaco proudly exhibits a selection of Aston Martin and Brough Superior motorcycles. Combining power, agility, and style, these two-wheeled monsters offer a thrilling alternative for those seeking a different kind of exhilaration on the road.
What once started with cars has grown year by year to include just about everything one requires for a UHNW lifestyle. A few exclusive exhibitors display private jets, epitomising refined travel and showcasing opulent interiors with cutting-edge technology. Again, you can look to the Boutsens, who offer top jets and the finest interior designs, thanks to the touch of Thierry's incredibly talented wife, Daniela.
No ultra-luxury show would be complete without some exquisite jewellery and rare timepieces on display. Adding an extra touch of glamour and elegance to the event, giving attendees the opportunity to indulge their desires for adornment and precision.
Whether you come for some serious shopping or just to marvel at some of the finest machines ever built, Top Marques is a show not to be missed.
