Mission

We build style models and we produce in series complete new cars in low volumes.
Partnering with the world’s leading OEMs, we produce show cars, handcrafted and pre-series prototypes for R&D activities, prototype and production moulding equipment. We can manage turnkey projects from development to industrialisation.
