SimplyAbuDhabi XLII

In the most recent show, more than 200 luxury vehicles were showcased in the award-winning Grimaldi Forum over five days in June of 2023. The event, which is held under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, is one of the only events in the world where visitors are able to see – and buy – exclusive supercars, motorbikes, and rare vintage vehicles, all under one roof. High standards have been set, to be sure, but next year’s show will not disappoint. Taking place from 5-9 June, 2024, the 19th edition of Top Marques Monaco will see exhibitors from all over the world descending on the Principality to present their vehicles to a discerning audience, which includes classic car collectors, supercar owners, and thousands of car enthusiasts. The event kicks off with a VIP avant-premiere reception on 5 June, where the great and good of Monaco will mingle with invitees of exhibitors and key sponsors, such as Dassault Aviation and Airbus Commercial Jet. Over elegant refreshments, guests will be invited to discover the stunning collection of supercars, motorbikes, and transport innovation before the official opening on 6 June. Last year, multiple sales were confirmed as a result of this auspicious evening, which has become a must-attend event on the Monegasque social calendar. Organisers are keeping mum about details of next year’s line-up for the moment, but they do promise a number of world premières like the Audi RS 6 GTO concept, which made its début at the last edition of the show. As in previous editions, there will also be a large emphasis on innovative vehicles that run on alternative fuel sources, such as one of last year’s stars – the QUANTiNO twentyfive by NanoFlowcell, the world’s first electric supercar without a battery. In addition, visitors will be able to peruse and buy handpicked collections of exclusive timepieces and bespoke jewellery, as well as auto-themed pieces of art, a selection of superboats, and the latest water toys. Tickets for the event, which include a limited number for the VIP avant- premiere reception and a VIP ticket giving access to a private lounge and terrace with complimentary drinks, are available to buy via www. topmarquesmonaco.com . Updates concerning exhibitors, activities for children, and restauration will be updated in the run-up to the show. Simply Abu Dhabi | 159
