In 1990, MCI engaged Canepa Design to create a coach for their upscale clientele. Already known for their aero work on big rigs from Peterbilt and Kenworth, Bruce and his team set to work on creating an ultimate coach experience. Only two were ever built, one for Roger Penske and the second one for Bruce Canepa.

This coach has the most extensive exterior upgrade package of any MCI coach ever built, with over $350,000 invested to this point of completion. At the MCI factory the roof was raised 6" for additional head clearance, and a center door added for increased accessibility. Custom upgrades abound, including: a body kit valued at over $100,000, a souped-up Detroit Diesel courtesy of Penske, suspension upgrades to eliminate body roll, and custom wheels and wheel covers.

Special options include a roof raised six inches over the standard MCI coach for increased head room, 40' x 102' exterior, 96" interior width, two custom roof access hatches, and a mid-ship side entrance door with integrated stainless steel stairs. Canepa Design custom upgrades include custom designed aerodynamic electric operated mirrors, custom front lower nose cap with halogen quad head lamps, composite front bumper assembly, and more. Standard features include air ride suspension, air brakes, 500 HP Detroit Diesel engine, and Allison automatic transmission.

This is a brand new chassis and body. This bus has never been registered, and is currently under the manufacturer's Statement of Origin. The interior is conversion ready. The mileage reflects only the transportation from the manufacturing plant in Canada to MCI's research and development center in Roswell New Mexico, then to Detroit Diesel, and then to Canepa in California.
