Unbelievable…! Crisis, credit crunch, global downturn…all gloomy clouds threatening the only live supercar show in the world. What happened? What happened? It all turned out to be a 'green' crisis; planetary concerns for the environment which metamorphosed into a humanitarian celebration of the best of the automobile and luxury products industries.
A four-day whirlwind of beauty, science and technology, styling and art! More than 70 stands, of which 50 displayed over 100 automobiles and motorbikes, 10 Top Marques Watches exhibitors with prestigious brands of beautiful and rare timepieces, plus a dozen stands of exceptional products (art, high-end designers, maritime, aviation, luxury real estate, carpets, insurance and accounting firms, etc.). A pleasant surprise for manufacturers was the amount of sales and the important contacts made, resulting in more than 70% of the stands having booked their spots for Top Marques Monaco 2010.
Thirty-nine vehicles outside in Top Marques Pits revved up their motors and blasted around the Formula 1 circuit of Monte-Carlo, providing extra publicity to the Tennis Masters’ visitors to catch the show between matches.
Our sponsors and exhibitors were also able to get a bird’s eye view of the beautiful Place du Casino at night during the great reception sponsored by the Monaco Tourist and Congress Authority, faithful partners of Top Marques Monaco since its beginning. With the great assistance of another one of our founding sponsors - the SBM - several of the most prestigious cars in the world provided a stunning panorama around the Casino Square. Furthermore, the evening was more astounding with one of the eco cars being lifted on the terrace of the Salle Empire, étoile of the marvelous Hotel de Paris.
They came in droves. More than 29,000 people swarmed through the doors of the Grimaldi Forum to see just what new colors luxury would be wearing inside the impressive center. It was extremely astonishing to witness the very eclectic group of visitors who braved the crisis to attend the show: affluent individuals, top sportsmen, musicians, fashion and interior designers…and the dreamers.
Top Marques Monaco might appear provocative to some in such an unprecedented time in history, but the manufacturers who brought their products to the Grimaldi Forum attest to a challenging time of innovation and a search for new ideas and approaches. The everlasting debate on an environmental sustainable approach for the universe is something that keeps our exhibitors on their toes; engineers and designers discovering the features of the future, besides keeping a lot of people off the unemployment rolls.
Top Marques Monaco is proud to play a humble role for humanity as well as embark on the giant leap for the planet.
