Top Marques Monaco has closed its 21st edition as the most successful in the show’s history, with exhibitors rebooking for 2027 before the first public day had concluded and high-value sales completed across every hall.
More than 235 supercars, classic cars and motorbikes were exhibited over four and a half days, with organisers predicting final attendance of more than 22,000 visitors. The commercial activity matched the footfall: supercars worth up to seven figures changed hands throughout the show, one classic car dealer sold every vehicle on his stand, and a single watch exhibitor moved 18 timepieces at a minimum price of €30,000 each. The jewellery section also confirmed multiple sales, according to organisers.
The collector effect
Much of the credit for the exceptional results has been given to the inaugural Collectors’ Private Viewing, held on Wednesday 6th May from 5pm to 7pm and sponsored by new partner Ex Jets. For the first time, serious collectors were given exclusive access to the entire show — including the debut of the new Luxury Tuners Hall — before the VIP Avant Première cocktail. Exhibitors reported confirmed deals within hours, with 2027 bookings made the same evening.
Sixteen world debuts
Top Marques Monaco has established itself as a platform for global launches, and 2026 delivered 16 world debuts. Among the most talked-about: the Giamaro Automobili Krafla, a hypercar with a naturally aspirated V12 fitted with four turbochargers producing 2,157 horsepower; the Baltasar Revolt from Barcelona, reaching 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds; and OQTA, a new German manufacturer making its debut with a vehicle aimed squarely at the hyper-luxury collector market. The Audi RS5 also made its Monaco debut, presenting a plug-in hybrid combining a twin-turbo V6 with electric power.
OQTA went on to win the first-ever Top Marques Visitors Award in the Supercar category. Car & Car from Italy took first prize in the Classic Cars section, while Mansory claimed top honours in the Luxury Tuners Hall with the Mansory Azur and Mansory Emperor Signature.
Star power and royal recognition
The 21st edition was officially inaugurated on 7th May by Monaco Mayor Georges Marsan, accompanied by Minister of the Interior Lionel Beffre and National Council President Thomas Brezzo. Prince Albert II paid a private visit alongside Minister of State Christophe Mirmand.
The show also attracted Paul Pogba, members of the AS Monaco Basketball Team, Fernando Alonso, Arthur Leclerc and Mika Häkkinen, alongside automotive influencers Shmee150 and GMK — the latter arriving with 12 of his own supercars and spending an afternoon with fans, extending the show’s reach to millions online.
“We had exhibitors rebooking for next year before we’d even opened to the public, which is unprecedented,” said Emeric Garcia, Director of Top Marques Monaco. “This edition is definitive proof that Top Marques Monaco has a vital role in the luxury automotive market. We’re not resting on this success. 2027 will be bigger, better, and even more ambitious.”
The 2026 edition was the first held under the Informa Prestige Monaco umbrella, which also encompasses the Monaco Yacht Show, Art Monte-Carlo and BOAT International.
