Monaco-Trossi Race Model - 1935. This revolutionary race car was developed by the technician Augusto Monaco and by Carlo Felice Trossi,
The chassis was an aircraft style spaceframe and all wheels where suspended by way of double wishbones, horizontal coil springs, and cockpit adjustable oil dampers. With the car complete, it was tested at Monza ahead of its entry in the Italian Grand Prix, but the 75/25 weight distribution meant the car understeered magnificently, so it never raced. The car currently resides the Museo dell'Automobile in Turin, but we would pay good money to see that thing do a burnout or try to take a corner.
