Nocturne

Built for distance.

Comfort and composure matter most after several hours at the wheel, so that is where the Nocturne was developed.

Nocturne

A single shoulder line.

One line runs from headlamp to tail, shaped by hand on every car.

Nocturne

Forged wheels, bronze calipers.

Large brakes behind lightweight forged wheels, with suspension tuned for long roads rather than lap times.

Nocturne

No badge on the bonnet.

The Nocturne is identified by its full-width light signature instead.

Nocturne

A full-width tail light.

A single red light runs the width of the tail.

The Marque

Built for the long way home.

Vespera is named after the evening, the hours our cars are designed around: long drives that often end after dark.

Every body is formed by hand and finished by the same craftsperson. Each car is built to order and handed over in person.
