The MS-II is a pure driver's car. Powering it is a brand new 4.1L twin turbo Flatplane V8 producing 620 HP and 517 lb.-ft. of torque sent to the rear wheels.
Not much has changed aesthetically from the previous generation Anaconda. The front and rear fascias were designed with aerodynamics in mind.
And this is the heart of the MS-II Anaconda, which features Miller's EcoSport II technology.

However we are proud to announce that in a last minute decision we've concluded that Monolith Motors, our Subdivision responsible for Trucks, Vans and SUVs will join the other car manufacturers after all with their entire roster of vehicles, and we are equally proud to announce that we haven't been resting on our (Nissan) Laurels.
So stay tuned for our exciting new line-up, soon to be seen at ACIAS.

Re: 2016 Automation Chicago Auto Show (13.02 - 21.02)
Let us begin by going back to the 2007 Velociraptor SSM. The Super Sport Model was billed as an off-road supercar that retailed for only $49,105. With AHS steel frame, aluminium body, front MacPherson strut suspension and rear multilink, it was unusual from its basic design. With lots of plastic cladding on the lower body, LED lights integrated into the grill, and high profile tires, it was clear that there was something more to the sportscar body. Add a 6.6L turbocharged V8, a 6-speed sequential transmission paired to a 4x4 system, and you have a very interesting formula. The engine produced 932 hp and 805 ft-lb of torque, enough to move the 1.7 tonne car from 0-100 km/h in 6.5 seconds and to a top speed of 345 km/h. That's right, 345 km/h from a 4x4 for under 50k. The folding hardtop and sporty interior completed the package of a driver's car designed to go anywhere.


For the 2016 Chicago Auto Show, we decided to bring back this unique piece of engineering and overengineer it. We scrapped the 6.6L V8 and squeezed in an 8.4L V12 in its place, producing 1204 hp and 804 ft-lb of torque. The engine alone is worth millions and was designed for another of our concepts, so this one-off is well above the price point of the original. It's also been redesigned for a meaner look, including new LED headlights and side-exist exhausts while more focus was placed on the off-road capabilities this time around. 0-100 km/h is now done in 6.3 seconds, however, the top speed is 412 km/h. That's right, this thing is as fast as a Bugatti Veyron while being able to follow most body-on frame SUVs off-road.


We have absolutely no plans to release this to the public, it will remain a one-off. However, this is a bit of a design preview for a revival of the Velociraptor before the 2020 model year.
Now, for something completely different... I'm sure you've all been wondering what concept that 8.4L V12 came from, right? Allow me to present the 2016 Solo Stealth 8400 concept! You've no doubt seen some of the footage of it lapping the Green Hell in 6:42.61, and that's all thanks to the maximum engineering we put into the engine and car design. A lot of downforce was needed for that level of track performance, so the top speed is a mere 388.8 km/h. However, the 0-100 km/h sprint is done in an astonishing 2.3 seconds, allowing for a 1/4 mile time of 8.82 seconds. Pushrod suspension, lightweight carbon fibre body and frame, basic lightweight interior, everything was designed simply for performance on the track.


We will be producing this as a very limited edition track car for $11 million. The 4 examples have already been accounted for.

SELLOUT! You should produce the fastest car you can and not sell it to anybody, just go around trolling in Dubai in it.
That's the only reason KHT Diabolica exists

The first exhibit is intended as a friendly slap in the face for our american fanbase, as the 2016 Monolith Alpine light off-roader is not sold in the USA due to pedestrian safety regulations. The 2016 Alpine remains unchanged, and so does 114hp 1.5L Inline four petrol engine which enables spritely performance both on and off-road as well as 45mpg combined.


The next exhibit is the polar opposite of the Alpine, the 2016 Monolith Jupiter SUV which competes against the Ford Expedition and Chevrolet Tahoe. The Truck itself remains unchanged, however it is now available with a new 4.5L Inline six Turbodiesel engine providing the body on frame SUV a significant fuel economy advantage over its american rivals. If six cylinders aren't enough for you, the existing 5.8L V8 Turbodiesel as well as the 5.9L and 7.5L IMP Bigblock V8 petrol engines are still available, now paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission.


Likewise, the closely related Monolith Artisan also gains the new 4.5L diesel as a mid-range option supplementing the existing engine options ranging from the 2.9L Inline four Turbodiesel shared with the Okavango and Mangone to the 7.8L V12 Petrol found in the Artisan HD.


Another Monolith vehicle not sold in north America due to pedestrian safety regulations is the Okavango off-roader, on display here in "Safari" trim. It too remains unchanged for the 2017 Model Year, the only engine option available is the 2.9L Diesel paired to a six-speed manual transmission.


Also on display are two Monolith Mangones, a basic delivery van as well as a luxurious passenger verison. Just for fun we have painted them in very bright colours. Engines remain the familiar 2.9L Turbodiesel and 3.75L V6.


The two most important cars however are the facelifted Monolith Neptune and Saturn Crossovers, our best selling models in north America. The larger Monolith Saturn hasn't been changed a lot, we've just updated the front fascia and added a 4.9L V8 Turbodiesel from the IMP passenger car range to the line-up. The base model retains the 3.75L V6 Petrol engine, while the upscale L8 model's 5.4L IMP Smallblock V8 remains unchanged as well.




The 2017 Monolith Neptune and Saturn will soon be on sale at a dealer near you.

Another H.A. model that will be launched in North America is the 560, successor to the fabled 550 and 555 that have been imported for decades by offroad enthusiasts. Unlike the 270, it's a facelifted version of the existing 270 that's proven itself for most of the last decade. The facelift upgraded it to North American standards, and this trim will be assembled in the same Mexico factory as the 270. It uses the same 1.4L I4 but has a proper 4x4 system. That's right, at $13,340, you get a large SUV for proper offroading with the kind of money you could have spent on a subcompact.

Well now... as long as it does under 6:30 on Green Hell, it may be worth it!
