Monolith is a name that most people have not yet heard of but it is one to keep an eye on in the near future. The brand has only existed for five years but like their parent company IMP they have quickly established themselves on the continent as a manufacturer of high-quality automobiles with highly sophisticated engineering. Their latest offering is an intriguing new concept that combines a four-wheel drive chassis similar to that of a Land Rover with a refined and powerful six cylinder engine and an elegant estate car body. The chassis features coil springs for unprecedented ride quality in a four-wheel drive automobile. The cross-flow 3.8L engine comes in two configurations, with overhead valves and 130bhp or OHC with 175bhp. Both engines have a four-speed full syncromesh transmission. The M110 3.8 Litre Standard will cost £2326 when it arrives in britain later this year. The 3.8 Litre Super features a luxuriously appointed interior and power steering not unlike a Rover 3 Litre and costs £2884. The vehicle appears promising, although we are not yet convinced that there is a market for a luxurious four-wheel drive estate car.
