This quirky little number is quite a historically important automobile, because although it never actually won a race, it is the only factory-fielded radial engined racing car ever (that I'm aware of).

It's engine is 4 litres in capacity, and has 16 cylinders, fitted in a radial layout (all pistons face radially outward from a common rotating center, like flower petals). This engine produces a modest 250 bhp, and unfortunately due to its weight, meant that the Monaco had an awful weight balance ratio of 75/25, with the bias to the front. This meant that the rear end was extremely unstable, but I would still love to drive it on GT. :)
