SimplyAbuDhabi XLII

I magine a huge, luminous space filled with so many exotic supercars that it’s difficult to know where to look. Interspersed with the latest models from Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Koenigsegg are luxury superbikes, insane hydrogen vehicles, and even flying car prototypes in this veritable Aladdin’s Cave for car lovers. Now imagine, if you will, a second area packed nose to tail with dozens of unique vintage vehicles from the golden era: a rare Bugatti Royale Esders, rebuilt by the Schlumpf family, sits adjacent to a Benetton F1 driven byMichael Schumacher to his first F1 victory, whilst just opposite can be found a dozen multi-coloured classic Mercedes-Benz. The unique display of supercars from yesterday is completed by an overwhelming exhibition of 44 Ferrari, including a Ferrari Enzo owned by Fernando Alonso. But unlike Aladdin’s Cave, this is no imaginary collection of gems, but the last edition of Top Marques Monaco, otherwise known as “the world’s most exclusive auto-show,” held annually in the heart of the Principality of Monaco.
