Monteverdi Safari

The Monteverdi Safari was an ultra-luxurious four-wheel-drive vehicle built on an International Harvester chassis with a Chrysler V8 engine. It predated the luxury SUV trend by decades, offering Range Rover capabilities with Rolls-Royce levels of interior craftsmanship and Swiss precision. Each Safari was hand-built to order with the finest materials including exotic woods and premium leathers. Only around 30 examples were produced, making it one of the rarest luxury 4x4 vehicles ever created.
