Why it matters
The Centenaire was a mid-engined supercar from a small Monaco company. It was meant to mix race-car technology with a Lamborghini V12. The company planned 100 cars for the Car Club of Monaco centenary, but only five were made.

History
Monte Carlo Automobile (MCA) was created by Fulvio Maria Ballabio and a group of investors. The first Centenaire was built at Novara and Monaco and the first two cars were shown to Prince Rainier at the centenary of the Automobile Club de Monaco in 1990, which gave the car its name. A cooperation agreement with Lamborghini supplied the V12 for the pre-series cars.

| Power | 339 kW / 461 PSFactory: 455 hp · converted1 Independently researchedEncyclopedia figure for the 1989 specification. Road & Track (1992) gives the Lamborghini V12 as 492 bhp (quote: powered by Lamborghini's 492-bhp V12), which conflicts with this figure. Kept at 455 bhp here because the encyclopedia states the specification year. |
