Wow!! Guess what? An extremely rare 1970s Swiss supercar prototype is on sale on Jan. 23 in Paris. This 1970s Swiss supercar has become the most starring attractions at Bonhams’ Retromobile in Paris. The ex-Geneva Motor Show, ex-Pebble Beach concours 1970 Monteverdi Hai 450 SS coupe prototype is expected to cost up to $750,000 or about €500,000.
The Monteverdi Hai is a kind sports prototype that represented the pinnacle of the contemporary avant-garde performance car thinking when it was first exhibited. One of the earliest mid-engined supercars ever built, the designer Swiss businessman Peter Monteverdi designed it to compete with Ferrari and it priced twice as much as an Aston Martin at the time.
This car is capable of over 176 mph and can do 0 – 60 in 4.7 seconds. Also on offer at the auction are a 1929 Mercedes-Benz 630K “Town Car” (estimate €400,000 – €600,000); a c.1930 Bentley Le Mans-style Tourer (estimate €450,000 – €550,000) and a 1920 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost 40/50HP Double Phaeton (estimate €250,000 – €350,000).
