MCA Centennaire (Monte Carlo)

Price: $469,000
Birthdate: Momentarily.
How to say it: “Cen-:ten—AIR.”

The mid-engined MCA Centenaire was intended to derive its power from a 5.2-liter Lamborghini V-12. Decision-makers in Sant’Agata, however. have since thumbed their noses at that arrangement, evidently concluding that a $469,000 exotic car may constitute competition for their own offerings.
That’s why the Monte Carlo Automobile Club ( hence the MCA acronym) has since negotiated with Jaguar for a truckful of 450hp 6.0 litre V012s.

Only 50 Centenaires are expected to be built annually. Because safety and emissions regulations for cars built in Monte Carlo are a triflelax, they may eventually find homes in Monegasque garages exclusively.
