1970 Monteverdi Hai 450SS news, pictures, and information
In 1956, at the age of 22, Peter Monteverdi took over his fathers repair shop. Monteverdi had built a reputation in Formula 1 and had formed a relationship with Enzo Ferrari. This lead to many of the cars being inspired by Ferrari designs.
In 1967, the Monteverdi High Speed 375 S was introduced to the public at the Geneva Auto Show. This was followed by the Hai 450 SS, which was powered by a Chrysler Hemi engine which was mounted mid-ship. The design was elegant and bold, but the company was finding it hard to competing with other marque's such as Ferrari and Lamborghini. In total, only four cars were constructed. These cars would later become known as the 450 GTS. This would be the company's only mid-engined car until the Hai 650 F1 which was introduced in 1992.
In 1970 there were only two of these supercars constructed. Both of them were powered by 7-liter Chrylser engines and clothed in coachwork styled by Fiore.
