This is one of the many projects born from the engineering and creative talent of Augusto Monaco (Buenos Aires 1903 – Livorno 1997), who lived between Turin and Livorno, dedicating himself to studying mechanical and industrial chemistry (for example he patented the synthetic diamond). For this innovative single-seater he designed a sixteen-cylinder radial engine, mounted in cantilever on the front axle, besides many other details like the front wheel drive and an original independent suspension system. The bodywork, designed by Revelli, was in light alloy with an underlying chrome-aluminum frame. Since he was unable to obtain the support he expected from Senator Agnelli, Monaco addressed Carlo Felice Trossi, prominent gentleman-driver, who assisted him with the fine-tuning of the car. The single-seater, which had by then become known as the “Monaco-Trossi”, went on the track for the 1935 Italian Gran Prix trials, but did not qualify for the race. Due to the high costs claimed by the implementation of such unusual solutions, the vehicle was not developed further.
