MCA / Monte Carlo Automobile (Monaco) - AllCarIndex

Monte Carlo Automobile (MCA) was a Monegasque low-volume supercar maker founded in 1983 by Fulvio Maria Ballabio in Monte Carlo. Its first road car, the carbon-fibre Centenaire, appeared around 1990 to mark the Automobile Club de Monaco’s centenary and used a Lamborghini V12; only a handful were built, and a Beau Rivage spider derivative followed. In the mid-1990s the project passed to Aixam-Mega, yielding the Mega Monte Carlo with a Mercedes V12 and very limited production. MCA later returned to small-series and prototype work, emphasizing composites and alternative fuels.

In the 2000s–2010s MCA developed the ALA 50 and Carlo Chiti Stradale 90 projects around methane/LPG and multi-fuel concepts, and collaborated with BRC on the W12 that finished eighth in the 4 Hours of Monza in 2012. Public activity culminated with the Rascasse unveiled in 2014, a mid-engined BMW-V12 roadster built in tiny numbers. Across intermittent ownership and branding changes, MCA remained based in Monaco and was best known for early carbon-fibre construction and its Centenaire lineage rather than series production.
