The Story · Since 1970
It started with
a Corvette.
A single instinct in Beirut became a family-built company — and more than five decades of premium, protected mobility.
The instinct
Before Monza had a name, Samir M. Khanji was working at a gas station in Beirut when a client arrived with a Corvette. He recognised its value at once — and sold it to a buyer from the U.S. Embassy for a meaningful profit.
That single moment became the foundation of everything that followed. Years of buying, restoring and reselling cars came next, out of open lots and temporary spaces, long before any showroom carried the name.
The name
On a visit to Italy, Mr. Khanji experienced the atmosphere surrounding the legendary Autodromo Nazionale Monza. The name represented more than motorsport — it stood for permanence, ambition, engineering and performance.
In 1989 the name was made official: Monza S.A.L. was incorporated — formalising a business that had been growing in Beirut since 1970.
The craft of protection
As the automotive world changed, Monza evolved with it — into one of Lebanon’s trusted names in premium sales and armored, security-focused engineering.
Through economic shifts and regional instability, embassies and diplomatic missions across Beirut placed their trust in Monza — for armored vehicles and round-the-clock care, since 2010.
The workshop comes first
Most dealerships begin with the showroom. We prefer to begin with the workshop.
Our 16-bay technical center in Horsh Tabet was built around the vehicles we represent — dedicated EV and battery diagnostics, paint and body, alignment, high-voltage equipment, and factory-trained technicians. Because selling a vehicle is one thing; supporting it properly for years is another entirely.
The electric chapter
Monza’s latest chapter brought VOYAH and MHERO to Lebanon — as the exclusive authorized dealer, signed directly with Dongfeng Motor Corporation.
Range-extended electric luxury and premium all-terrain capability — advanced mobility, intelligent technology and next-generation engineering, brought into the local market and backed for the long term.
The road ahead
Today, Monza S.A.L. carries the same entrepreneurial instinct it was built on decades ago — positioned at the intersection of luxury, innovation and modern mobility.
A family-built company, defined by discretion, reliability, and the belief that the relationship doesn’t end at delivery. That’s where it begins.
