exclusivity: the MCA GTB

In 1990, the Monte Carlo Automobile club of Monaco was celebrating its 100th anniversary, and in commemoration to celebrate the exclusive club, they launched an exclusive supercar. Backed by Lamborghini, MCA came out with a stunning exotic called the Centenaire, later renamed the GTB. The GTB had a low, roundish front and wide, squarish back giving the car an unmistakeably aggressive look. The GTB also had the performance to match those looks. Powered by a 720 horsepower mid mounted V12, the GTB had a top speed of 217 mph, which made it one of the fastest cars in the world of its time in the early 1990's. With a grand total of only 6 made, this Monégasque supercar was about as exclusive as the MCA club itself.

There is a 1:43 model of this car, so why not a 1:18? One of the model companies needs to get to work...
