Monaco is preparing to welcome one of its most anticipated annual events as Top Marques Monaco 2026 returns with its most ambitious edition yet. Scheduled to take place from May 7 to 10 at the Grimaldi Forum, the prestigious showcase will open with an exclusive preview evening on May 6 under the patronage of Prince Albert II of Monaco.
Now in its 21st year, the event continues to cement its reputation as a global platform for cutting-edge design and high-end engineering. Organisers have confirmed that more than 235 vehicles will be displayed across 11,500 square metres, making this the largest edition in the show’s history.
Speaking at a launch event held at the Casino de Monte-Carlo, director Emeric Garcia highlighted the momentum behind this year’s programme, pointing to record attendance and strong sales in 2025 as the driving force behind an expanded 2026 edition.
A major draw this year will be a lineup of 16 global and European premieres. Among the headline reveals are the latest iteration of the Audi RS5, alongside electric models from Zeekr, including the 7GT and 001. Performance enthusiasts can also expect standout unveilings such as the Krafla hypercar from Giamaro Automobili, delivering over 2,000 horsepower, and a lightweight high-performance model from Baltasar. German newcomer OQTA is also set to present its first creation, targeting collectors in the ultra-luxury segment.
The exhibition will further feature established names including Bugatti, Pagani and Maserati, alongside newcomers such as Praga and the revived French marque Delage.
A key addition for 2026 is the introduction of a dedicated Luxury Tuners Hall, showcasing bespoke automotive craftsmanship. Renowned names such as Mansory, ABT Sportsline and Techart will present highly customised vehicles. Highlights include the debut of the Carbonado X by Mansory, based on a Lamborghini Revuelto, alongside new projects from ABT’s Monaco partner Stars MC.
Beyond supercars, this year’s programme also broadens its appeal with a growing motorcycle section featuring brands such as Brough Superior, Ducati and Harley-Davidson. A notable collaboration between Brough Superior and Richard Mille is expected to attract particular attention.
Classic car enthusiasts will find a curated selection in the Diaghilev Hall, where rare and historic models—including icons like the Ferrari Dino and Mercedes-Benz 300 SL—will be exhibited alongside pieces from the personal collection of Prince Albert II of Monaco.
In a first for the event, attendees will be invited to vote in the inaugural Visitors’ Top Marques Awards, recognising standout exhibits across three categories: best supercar, top luxury tuner and leading classic car display. Winners will be announced on the final day, May 10.
The programme will also include a public appearance by automotive influencer GMK, who is scheduled to host a meet-and-greet session.
Backed by major partners such as Dassault Aviation, the event continues to strengthen its ties within the luxury sector, now aligned with the Informa Prestige network alongside fixtures like the Monaco Yacht Show.
With its expanded scale, new features and high-profile debuts, Top Marques Monaco 2026 is poised to reinforce its standing as one of the world’s leading luxury automotive showcases.
