Top Marks for the Principality’s Top Marques, 2023 Racing to a Green Future

Top Marques has returned to Monaco this June 7th to 11th with an incredible array of the world’s most iconic supercars from yesterday, today… and tomorrow. The mega-event drew connoisseurs in droves to nuzzle close to their dream Bugattis, Ferraris, Bentleys, McLarens and to peer into the future with Monaco’s innovator Venturi. Talking of Venturi, Top Marques is now featuring vehicles that are destined for outer space. The much-anticipated FLEX electric rover was officially launched. Made by the Monegasque Venturi Group, which never disappoints in designing and manufacturing breakthrough innovations, the vehicle is the largest and most efficient in the history of lunar rovers. In 2026, American company SpaceX will transport the FLEX rover to the Moon. Another world premiere, included the QUANTiNO twentyfive, a battery-free electric vehicle designed by nanoFlowcell, the Dallara IR8, a tribute to the IR8 which won the Indy 500 in 1998. An electric car driving without batteries is a revolution. Thanks its electrolyte fuel Bi-iON, using salty sea water or even waste water, the 2+2-seater car would have a range of up to 2,000 km. Monegasque company MC-Clic just never stops innovating. This year as part of their innovations, the MC One an electric flying car was presented. Futuristic flying machines first became part of our world from MC-Clic last year, though there is still work to be done to figure out how a flying car might travel around a city. The flying cars currently can jet around your own private property or in open sea around your yacht. MC-Clic are currently working on a waterproof version to be able to land on water. For collectors and vintage car enthusiasts, more than 60 of the most beautiful sports cars of the 20th century were exhibited in the “Classic Car Hall”. Not quite the Musée Oceanographic or Beatles version, nor even exclusively yellow, but for sea lovers, there was even a fully electric submarine weighing 2.5 tons that can reach a maximum depth of 100 metres, by U-Boat Worx.
