The 20th edition of Top Marques Monaco delivered a landmark moment for the automotive world

The unveiling of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante at the Top Marques Monaco, presented in a world premiere by BPM Exclusive. Held from May 7 to 11, 2025, the Grimaldi Forum once again transformed into the global capital of luxury motoring, attracting nearly 30,000 visitors for what proved to be its most anticipated edition yet.

Top Marques attracted 30,000 supercar lovers

Since its founding in 2004, Top Marques Monaco has become synonymous with ultra-luxury and next-generation design. This year’s milestone edition reflected both heritage and forward-thinking innovation, elevated by a strong presence across high jewelry, fine watchmaking, and an all-new classic car pavilion. But it was Aston Martin — a marque long revered for British elegance and power — that stole the spotlight.

BPM Exclusive, a key exhibitor and tastemaker in the supercar realm, unveiled three standout vehicles — but none captivated quite like the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante. Reimagined for a new era, the Volante blends timeless Aston Martin styling with state-of-the-art performance, wrapped in a body that exudes sculptural sophistication. Its debut under the Mediterranean sun felt perfectly at home in Monaco, a city where automotive dreams are part of daily life.

The prestige of the occasion was heightened by a Top Marques Monaco visit from H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, who personally toured theBPM Exclusive stand during the official inauguration. Guido Giovannelli, Director of BPM Exclusive, hosted the Sovereign alongside Formula 1 star Fernando Alonso and members of AS Monaco Basket’s Roca Team, including standout Mike James — adding a touch of sporting glamour to an already iconic moment.

Alongside the Volante, BPM Exclusive also premiered the Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider and the all-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre, further underlining its role as a curator of cutting-edge automotive luxury.

Another showstopper: the Pagani Utopia Roadster, a hypercar that fuses artistic expression with uncompromising engineering. The brand’s presence in Monaco is set to grow further, with the opening of a dedicated Pagani showroom on the horizon.

Top Marques’ 20th edition wasn’t just a celebration of two decades of design and adrenaline — it was a statement about the future of automotive excellence. And with the world premiere of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante, that future looks breathtakingly beautiful.
