2009 MCA ALA 50<\/h1>\n

Albert II, Sovereign Prince of Monaco unveils the prototype of the new ALA 50. The car was built in honour of the 25th anniversary of Monaco\u2019s first-ever car brand in May.<\/span><\/p>\n

To celebrate 25 successful years, Monegasque car manufacturer Monte Carlo Automobile has created a brand-new GT and is dedicating it to Prince Albert II. Company founder Fulvio Maria Ballabio designed the ALA 50, and is building it in conjunction with father-and-son partnership Guglielmo and Roberto Bellasi. The trio have previously worked together on other projects.<\/p>\n

The name ALA 50 is a tribute to Prince Albert\u2019s 50th birthday in March, and also symbolizes the model\u2019s aerodynamic system, styled on those found in wing cars. Made entirely of carbon fibre, the car features a 650-horsepower V8 engine put together by Christian Contzen, the former CEO of Renault Sport, and Daniel Trema, who is currently helping engineering firm Mecachrome prepare for the GP2 series.<\/p>\n

Ballabio and Alberto Raffaele Colman are currently planning an ambitious project together with Bartoli de Clarion (the sponsor and a supplier of car accessories) and another partner company \u2013 to enter the ALA 50 and a team of three Monegasque drivers into the 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours race.<\/p>\n

After the official launch of the ALA 50 racing car late this year, a road-going version will be produced, and this will be made to order.<\/p>\n
