Monteverdi High Speed happened when Peter Monteverdi(7 June 1934  4 July 1998) wanted a significant increase, which did not match the capacity of the Atelier Frua and so he wanted to change it.
In the spring of 1968, Peter Monteverdi considered a significant increase in annual output; Around 100 vehicles were planned per year. These numbers did not match the capacity of Atelier Frua, whose bodies were purely hand built, and who had no capacity to build such high numbers of vehicles. Peter Monteverdi (7 June 1934  4 July 1998) was a Swiss carmaker and creator of the car brand Monteverdi.
