"Driving is a spectacular form of amnesia. Everything is to be discovered, everything to be obliterated."
-Jean Baudrillard
Peter Monteverdi built the Monteverdi Hai 450 SS in 1970 to show the world the Swiss could answer your need for speed as well as any Ferrari or Lamborghini.
He debuted the prototype, painted a FABULOUS shade of magenta, at the 1970 Geneva Auto Show. Only 2 of them were ever made due to lack of orders. At the time of it's offering the Monteverdi cost twice as much as the Aston Martin. Which was $27,000 at the time. Wow. Average cars cost more than that today...never mind a work of art vehicle like this or a Aston Martin. Smh...
Odd Fact:It was the company’s first mid-engine design which had a huge 426 cubic inch Chrysler V8 wedged in-between the passengers.
This exact prototype is once again for sale. The ORIGINAL. It will be main attraction at Bonhams’ Retromobile sale in Paris on Jan. 23. It is expected to sell for $750,000... Chump change...lol.
Ummmm....everyone knows Valentine's Day (my FAVORITE holiday) is right around the corner and I don't like roses...I do however LOVE this. I'm just sayin...
AND my Urban Decay Lipstick in Jilted would match perfectly...
