A Classic Icon of Automotive History: The Monteverdi Hai 450 SS

In 1969, the Monteverdi Hai 450 SS was born. The first generation, built from 1969 to 1970, was the creation of the Swiss car manufacturer Monteverdi. The vehicle aimed to carry on the legacy of the Monteverdi brand and positioned itself as a high-class sports car. Under the hood of the Monteverdi Hai 450 SS worked a mighty 7.2-liter Chrysler V8 engine, producing 450 horsepower and accelerating the car from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in less than 5 seconds. The car was designed by the renowned designer Pietro Frua, one of the most respected car designers of his time.
