QUOTE The Monteverdi Hai is a kind of mythical supercar. Few people have ever seen one. Members of the press have rarely tested one, and the car had a reputation for being a little unruly. Peter Monteverdi had been building his own Chrysler engined GT cars in Switzerland since 1967. The Hai of 1970 was Monteverdis' bid for the mid-engined supercar market who's only player at the time was the Lamborghini Miura. Only two are believed to have been sold.     Stats: Curb Weight: 2750 lbs Layout: Mid-Engine/RWD Transmission: 5-Speed Manual Engine: Hemi V8 Horsepower: 450 bhp @ 5000 rpm Torque: 490 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm 0-60 mph: 4.7 sec 0-100 mph: 12.0 sec Top Speed: 176 mph |

Wow, it's unique! Never heard of it before so I guess that's a good thing, the stylings very nice too. Frozen.

Monteverdi's are extremely rare, and absolutely stunning vehicles for their time. The Monteverdi Hai 650 F1, from 1992 or 1993, is just gorgeous. Only 5 were made by Peter Monteverdi, and the 650 F1 is one of my favourite cars ever created, eclipsing any McLaren F1 / LM and coming close to the eb110ss

Yes please
The new Hai is even cooler, it's practically an F1 car with a roadcar body slapped on |
