Founded in 1916 by Manuel Montes, in Barcelona, the brand has gone through several complicated historical moments for the brand (WW II, Coup d’Etat in Spain, and dictatorship), but the brand has survived all these setbacks. A fighting spirit, which is reflected in their models.
Our models combine elegant lines, together with a touch of sporty driving. DNA of the brand.
Since 1917, we participated in championships around the world, and we transferred this experience to our street cars.
In 1975, we created MRP (Montes Racing Performance), a department dedicated exclusively to competition, as well as preparing sports versions of our cars.
Since 1996, the company is headed by Víctor Montes, and in 2018, acquired Gabatron.
The side chrome grille and the two double exhaust there are the MRP version (Montes Racing Performance), like BMW ///M, AMG…
Another difference between normal version and MRP there are the front grille (the chromed grille with a logo no, the front grilles in the bumper).
Meet the classic Montes: put a Montes in your live!
Montes V8 GT
This car was designed with a only objective: compete with the Ferrari’s and Aston Martin of the 50s-60s.
This car works with an SOHC V8 engine to make the car cheaper than the Ferrari’s and Aston Martin’s, without quit the driving and sportive pleasure.
I’m undecised about which is the next car that I will make, and I need your opinion, please. I need to say the next:
-Body type.
-Engine power and cylinders.
-Sportive, comfort or neutral handling.
-The MTBF (please, a possible value in game, like 50000 km).
-The fuel consumption (no 0l/100,please) , in I.S units; no Imperial (I don’t understand this system).
-AWD, FWD or RWD.
News about the new Montes Model (according to CARSCOOPS):
The new model is called Zender, and seems that the engine (4 cylinder turbo and 2 liter of capacity) is capable to make a 0-100 km/h (0-65 mph) in 4-5 seconds, and reach a speed higher than 250 km/h.
The car likely to take AWD transmission.
Montes has only stated that the car will compete with models like the Subaru WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, but is more cheap that these cars.
UPDATE:
An anonymous source has released the following information:
1986: the Group B and F1 are dominated with the turbo cars. Montes decided to enter a car in the Group B, but the rules require to produce a road version of the car that will participated.
But the current models (in 1986) of Montes not meet the requirements of the brand, and the solution is a super-advanced car in his time: the Zender RS.
The car was 100% new, and doesn’t share any part with any Montes model of 1986 and rear: this car was designed from race to street (like BMW M3 E30), through the adquired experience of Montes in the International Motorsport Championships (like the DRM, IMSA…). It was designed by MRP.
The Zender RS enters the market the 1st February of 1986, and in the first month was sold 300 units arround the world!
The model was powered with a 2856 cm^3 engine, capable to develop more of 300 hp. The car costs $55.000-70.000.
But i really like the rear of your Gaphyr coupe.
