Top Marques Monaco opens its 2026 edition on May 6 with its biggest lineup yet: more than 235 vehicles and around 16 world premieres. (topmarquesmonaco.com) (grimaldiforum.com) The show runs through May 10 at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, with a public preview evening scheduled for May 6 from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Organizers are billing it as the 21st edition. (grimaldiforum.com) (topmarquesmonaco.com) Top Marques is not a mass-market auto salon. The event mixes supercars and hypercars with classic cars, motorbikes, watches, boats and aviation displays aimed at buyers, collectors and luxury brands. (grimaldiforum.com) (topmarquesmonaco.com) This year’s new piece is a 1,500-square-meter Luxury Tuners Hall, a dedicated pavilion for customization firms and bespoke builds. Grimaldi Forum says the 2026 floor will also include superboats on the Esplanade and watch brands inside the venue. (grimaldiforum.com) (topmarquesmonaco.com) The event sits in Monaco’s May calendar between other high-profile motorsport dates, and organizers are leaning into that setting by presenting the show as a launch pad rather than a conventional display stand. Informa said in 2024 that Top Marques had hosted more than 100 new supercar model launches since its start in 2004. (informa.com) (topmarquesmonaco.com) That launch-pad pitch has become a bigger part of the sales story after the 2025 anniversary edition. Top Marques said last year’s 20th edition was its most successful yet, while outside coverage of the event reported about 190 vehicles on display and roughly 30,000 visitors. (topmarquesmonaco.com) (finecars.cc) The 2025 show also gives a baseline for how much the 2026 edition is expanding. Official Top Marques promotion for last year highlighted 13 world premieres, compared with about 16 announced for this year. (topmarquesmonaco.com 1) (topmarquesmonaco.com 2) For online car communities, the draw is not only the unveilings but the walk-around footage that follows. Recent clips circulating on X, including a Corvette ZR1X video from auto-show floors, have turned the run-up to Monaco into a preview season for viewers who will never set foot in the Grimaldi Forum. (x.com 1) (x.com 2) Top Marques started in 2004, and Monaco is again using it as a compact stage for expensive machines and first looks. The 2026 test is whether a larger floor, a new tuners hall and more premieres can turn that formula into another record year. (informa.com) (grimaldiforum.com)
