But you&rsquo;ve probably never heard of the Dallara MPS before, a one-off that&rsquo;s even more focused than the Stradale.<\/p>\n<p>During the height of lockdowns in mid-2020, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, company founder Giampaolo Dallara decided to build a single-seater, track-only machine inspired by the firm&rsquo;s first-ever racing car, the SP1000. Dubbed the Macchina Posto Singolo, also known as the MPS and Monoposto, this very car is heading to auction next month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2019\/06\/dallara-stradale-is-an-extreme-track-toy-you-can-use-on-the-road\/\" id=\"1841403\">Dallara Stradale Is A $170K Track Toy You Can Use On The Road<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement extra__ad_tbl\">\n<div id=\"ea4d4b5a-f8e5-4d5d-9d9a-53a3b956b6cd\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"44c0a4dc-e25b-4ba5-ac64-2c510461b92a\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform === &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;ea4d4b5a-f8e5-4d5d-9d9a-53a3b956b6cd&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else{<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;44c0a4dc-e25b-4ba5-ac64-2c510461b92a&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This is where Dallara stops pretending it&rsquo;s building road cars and leans fully into its racing DNA.

In these photos, the MPS also appears to sit lower and slightly wider than the Stradale. There is no shortage of bespoke touches either, from its distinctive headlights to a clamshell-style hood that looks lifted straight from a prototype racer.<\/p>\n<p>The cabin is shrouded almost entirely in carbon fiber and includes a racing seat that appears to be molded into the monocoque itself. There&rsquo;s also a multi-function steering wheel clad in Alcantara, a digital instrument panel, and a tiny clear wind deflector in place of a normal windshield.<\/p>\n<section class=\"type:slideshow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/section>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RM Sotheby&rsquo;s<\/h4>\n<p>RM Sotheby&rsquo;s is handling the sale of the car.
