Monroe

"Remember Italy's glory days before feminism and the Euro ruined everything? When a suitcase full of Lire would buy you an espresso and a pack of cigarettes, if you were lucky? Produced by old-money Italians in the 1960s, driven by new-money guidos in the 2010s, the Monroe is a classic supercar that has been making douchebags look stylish for over 50 years."

- Legendary Motorsport description.

The Pegassi Monroe is a mid-engine classic sports car featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
The overall design of the Monroe is heavily inspired by the, bearing the distinctive aerodynamic shape and the chromed skirts. The side vents and rear engine vents are also inspired by this. It also shares some elements from the, notably in the headlights and the relatively wide shape. The tail lights are derived from the.

The design of the car is very traditional in comparison to the similarly-designed Bullet, featuring a single intake with a chrome detail around it, rectangle headlamps behind glass casings and small circular fog lamps. The bonnet area features a thin intake on the centre and bears the manufacturer emblem on the front. The whole front section hinges from the front and opens to reveal a storage for a spare wheel.

On the sides, the car features a mostly linear styling, with a curved front and slightly elevaded area. Chrome skirts can be seen at the bottom, together with side intakes on it. The greenhouse area uses a curved windscreen with chrome trimmings around it, classic circular rear-view mirrors, small intakes on the rear-quarter sections and black louvres on the rear window.

The rear end follows a more traditional design, having a small lip on the boot area, circular tail lamps and silver lettering displaying the car's name. The lower half is predominated by a single vent spanning the width of the car and the twin exhaust tubes.

In the enhanced version, the vehicle uses a dedicated interior; this interior is similar to the one used in cars like the Dominator and the Buccaneer, but the carbon-fibre backing is replaced by a wooden variation. The dial set textures are slightly different and are arranged in a way that the main dials are a bit larger, it has two small gauges above the steering column and the central section replaces two of the analog gauges with circular air conditioning outlets. The warning lights are also displayed on black squared sections found beside the smaller driver-side gauges and above the steering column, while the radio set remains in the same place.

The vehicle is only painted in a single colour for the bodywork, and uses a set of wheels that are similar to the "Revolver" muscle rims seen in Los Santos Customs.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
The Monroe is one of the faster classic cars in the game, with its top speed being matched by the JB 700, and beaten by the Z-Type. Acceleration is great for a Sports Classic, and decent for a car in general, reaching 60 mph in the 5 second range. Before the addition of the Pigalle, the Monroe also had superior braking and handling to all sports-classics. Handling is decent, but notably good for a Sports Classic. While most of the other Sports Classics suffer from a case of oversteer, the Monroe has noticeable understeer which makes the car feel faster than it actually is, and as such, is more consistent and less prone to random loss of control.

The Monroe appears to be powered by a transversely-mounted engine, replicating the Lamborghini Miura's V12 engine (although it lacks details to actually define its configuration). Said engine is stated to be a 3.7 liter engine producing 340hp. It is coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a rear-mid engine, rear wheel drive configuration. It engine sound is generally high-revving and loud.

Cultural References

 * The Monroe is likely named after the singer, who sang the song at the beginning of , which featured an orange Lamborghini Miura.
 * The car may also be named after famous actress, model and singer, commenting on the elegant feminine design of the Miura.
 * Curiously, a real life Lamborghini Miura was bought for $490,000 (The same price as the Monroe in Legendary Motorsports) in an auction by the actor, being the highest price the model was ever sold for (Excluding the S, SV, and SVJ).
 * In the mission Pack Man, the yellow Monroe that had been stolen by Lamar features a license plate reading "FAST 66". This references the first appearance of the Lamborghini Miura P400 Prototype, occurring in 1966 in the Geneva motor show, and maybe also implying the in-game car was manufactured the same year.
 * It could also be a reference to the film (also known as "Fast 6").
 * This is one of four cars that share their names with former US Presidents, the other three being the Jefferson, the Washington and the Roosevelt.
