Car articles about Monteverdi High Speed 375 L by year
In 1967, a new star rose in the luxury sports car firmament: Monteverdi. For many observers, the first model is also the most beautiful. Hardly anyone knows that only ten examples of the Frua-375 S were ever built. One of them was photographed for this report, which documents the entire history of the car in detail, and supplemented with many archive photos that have never been shown before.
In 1967, a Monteverdi made its first appearance at the IAA in Frankfurt: the 375 S coupé. Just a few months later, Peter Monteverdi and Pietro Frua presented an extended version called the 375 L in Geneva. However, a dispute soon arose between the two; the Frua 375 L remained a one-off. Albeit a very elegant one!
This is probably a one-off test, probably the only one in this constellation. The Lamborghini Miura meets the De Tomaso Mangusta, the Monteverdi hi speed 375 S and the Maserati Ghibli. Playboy cars is what hobby calls this sports car category. Well, the vehicles perform well and even today in 2011, acceleration times and top speeds are impressive, especially when you consider that the test took place over 40 years ago. The fact that the Monteverdi won as the best all-rounder in this test, but the Miura was the fastest, is probably only of historical interest from today's perspective, but the fact that the vehicles were notable for a number of problems could still be relevant for one or two fans today.
In 1967, Peter Monteverdi launched his own car brand with the 375 S sports coupé, and just six months later he presented a variant called the High Speed 375 L with a longer wheelbase. However, this car was never to be produced in its presented form, as it was only the completely redesigned coupé built by Fissore, which made its debut at the 1969 Geneva Motor Show, that made it into series production. This report tells the story of the Monteverdi High Speed 375 L and shows the 1971 Salon vehicle in many pictures, supplemented by historical illustrations from the time.
