The 5 Best Supercars at the Monaco Yacht Show 2017

The Monaco Yacht Show 2017 drew to an emphatic close on 30^th September and weary visitors celebrated another successful event as the yachts’ horns sounded at 6pm. In this year’s edition of the yacht show, automotive fans were extremely well catered for, with a spectacular display of luxury supercars dazzling visitors at the Monaco Yacht Show Car Deck. For those with a penchant for luxury cruising and adventure, supercars offer a similar sense of satisfaction as superyachts: both induce exciting bursts of adrenaline, whether burning across the tarmac or cutting through waves; both enable exploration in ultimate comfort; and both combine stunning aesthetics with exceptional performance.
