Monaco’s most prestigious motoring event is shifting into high gear as Top Marques prepares to celebrate its 20th anniversary in style this May. Running from May 8 to 11 at the Grimaldi Forum, the landmark edition promises a record-breaking 13 world premieres, featuring a dazzling mix of hypercars, heritage models, and cutting-edge automotive technology.
What began two decades ago as a boutique showcase for high-end vehicles has since grown into a global fixture on the luxury automotive calendar. Under the stewardship of Salim Zeghdar and the Monaco Check-In company since 2018, Top Marques has evolved beyond its modern supercar roots to embrace the world of classic motoring and, increasingly, international expansion — with a new overseas event slated for 2026.
Among the headline attractions this year is the return of the Boutsen Classic, curated by ex-Formula 1 driver Thierry Boutsen. His handpicked collection will include rare automotive gems such as the Ferrari 250 GT California Spider, one of just 55 examples ever built. Sharing the spotlight will be a Bentley Bacalar, a Fiat 500 cabriolet, and a series of collectible Porsches — an ensemble tailor-made for connoisseurs of automotive artistry.
But the anniversary edition is far from just a retrospective. Top Marques 2024 is positioning itself as a launchpad for the future of performance and design, offering attendees a first look at groundbreaking models that push the envelope of engineering and luxury.
With its unique blend of speed, style, and exclusivity, Top Marques remains a cornerstone of Monaco’s cultural calendar. This year’s edition is set not only to honour the show’s two-decade legacy, but also to accelerate into a bold new era of automotive excellence.
Tickets are now on sale for what promises to be an unforgettable week in the Principality — where the engines roar, the champagne flows, and the cars are anything but ordinary.
