This weekend, thousands of people will flock to the iconic location of Monaco for one of the world’s top sporting events every year. The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the premier Formula 1 events, and starting on May 23, drivers and teams from all over the world will begin their journey to May 25th, where they will compete for the chance to win the coveted Monaco Grand Prix trophy. While the drivers live at the crossroads between precision and technique, there is another aspect we are treated to every year: the Louis Vuitton trophy trunk. When you have one of the most coveted trophies in motorsports, traveling to a serene destination such as Monaco, it is no surprise that it travels in style.

Victory travels in Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton joins the journey of champions to celebrate Formula 1’s 75th anniversary in 2025, reinforcing the tradition that “Victory Travels in Louis Vuitton.” For the fifth straight year, the legendary brand combines its one-of-a-kind craftsmanship and attention to detail to create a bespoke trunk to carry the Monaco Grand Prix trophy to the winner’s circle. The red color of the Monaco flag covers the emblematic Monogram of the House with an iconic V, both for “Victory” and “Vuitton” across the front doors, in a striking white and red pattern. These colors pay tribute to the Monaco flag, representing the country’s vibrant culture. And no LV trunk would be complete without the iconic logo pattern on a canvas instead of leather, allowing it to survive in all weather.

The SUV market has been a cash cow for just about every car company out there. And as with most successful markets, more and more niche markets open up under the age-old idea that, "If you build it, they will come." With the introduction of the incredible Urus, Lamborghini proved that the world was craving a high-powered, supercar-level SUV and was willing to pay top dollar to own one. Following in that mold, Aston Martin has just unveiled the newest edition to the super-SUV (SuperUV? SuV?) with its brand new DBX S.

Borrowing tech from its upcoming Valhalla supercar, the DBX S offers up an incredible combination of power, prestige, and performance, ready to take on the best from Italy, Japan, or the US.
