THE Supercar THAT IS MADE IN Monte Carlo IS AN EXOTIC DREAM MACHINE
MONTECARLO AUTOMOBILE WAS FOUNDED IN 1983 AND HAS BUILT SEVERAL HAND MADE RACING CARS AND STREET MACHINES. THE LATEST CREATION IS CALLED THE Rascasse NAMED AFTER THE WELL KNOWN MONACO GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT. A VERY LIMITED PRODUCTION WAS HELD TO JUST 15 UNITS.
THE BODY IS, OF COURSE, A CARBON FIBER BRINGING THE WEIGHT IN AT ONLY 2425 LBS. A TOP SPEED OF 199 MPH AND A ZERO TO 60 IN 3.3 SECONDS IS ACHIEVED BY USING A HUGE MID-MOUNTED V12, 5.4L ENGINE FROM A ROLL ROYCE SILVER SERAPH. THIS MOTOR WAS DESIGNED BY BMW.
THE MOTOR PRODUCES 500 BHP AND A 490Nm TORQUE. THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THIS ENGINE IS THAT IT CAN RUN ON PETROL AND OR PROPANE LPG. THE RASCASSE HAS BEAUTIFUL LINES BLENDING A NUMBER OF ITALIAN AND USA DESIGNS.
THE INTERIOR IS BREATH TAKING USING EXOTIC WOOD, CHROME, STEEL, AND LEATHER. THE STEERING WHEEL HOUSES A CLOCK IN THE CENTER AND IS MOUNTED TO A UNIQUE DASH. THE COCKPIT DISPLAY IS USING DIGITAL GAUGES THAT ARE HOUSED IN FAN SHAPED DIALS. YOUR EYES WILL BE DRAWN TO THE ECOWOOD
THAT YOU MIGHT SEE ON AN ITALIAN LUXURY BOAT. THE SEATS ARE SIMPLE CURVED RACING BUCKETS WITH LITTLE TO NO SIDE BOLSTERS. A SIMPLE DESIGN ON THE INSIDE KEEPS YOU REMINDED THAT IT SIMPLY ABOUT THE DRIVE. THE INTERIOR IS BEST SHOWN ONCE YOU REMOVE THE TOP AND LET THE SUNSHINE IN.
THE RASCASSE COST IS AROUND $670,000 USD.
