The 20th edition of Top Marques Monaco, which concluded on Sunday evening May 11 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 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. In addition, Prince Albert II 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.

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