There are only five copies of this supercar from Monaco built, but at that time it was known as the most powerful car on the market.

At the end of this by the MCA (Monte Carlo Automobile) – developed car was a 5.0-liter V12 from the Lamborghini Countach, but with turbo’s so the power increased from 455 hp to 720 hp.

Monte Carlo Automobile was founded in 1983 and in 1990 was the GTB Centenaire ready for production. The name Ibis is a tribute to the Automobile Club de Monaco in 1990, 100 years.

It was intended that 100 copies would be built, but due to the collapse of the market for ultra-expensive cars continued to the counter eventually or five. Autofanaat Prince Rainier III of Monaco bought, of course, a copy. In total, two blue copies were built, one black, one red and one white copy. One of the two blue copies was a targa and had the name Beau Rivage.

In 1993, the rights on the model sold to a Georgian who, the name changed to MiG M100. He wanted the car to go racing at Le Mans, but did not qualify for the race. Later were the rights sold to Mega/Aixam and went to the car by the Mega Monte Carlo. The drive made at that time, a V12 Mercedes, just like the Mega Track.
