One of their latest offerings, the Carlo Chiti Stradale 90, was revealed in 2014 during a historical car exhibition organized by the Veteran Car Club Pistoia. This exceptional vehicle pays homage to the renowned engineer Carlo Chiti, a key figure at Ferrari, instrumental in ATS (Automobili Turismo Sport), and a crucial part of founding Monaco's premier car manufacturer, Monte Carlo Automobile (MCA).

The Carlo Chiti Stradale 90 is the natural evolution of the Quadrifuel project showcased in 2010. The previous project featured a powertrain with an Alfa Romeo V6 engine generating 300 horsepower, paired with a versatile power supply system supporting four fuel types: petrol, bioethanol, LPG, and natural gas. The innovative system utilized four interconnected tanks controlled by electronic units, allowing seamless transitions between different fuel sources.
