Italian coachbuilder Ares Design has
teamed with French crystal maker Lalique to release a limited-edition vehicle
that will be unveiled later this year. The vehicle forms part of Ares Design’s
‘Legends Reborn’ programme that aims to breathe new life into iconic cars from
the past with modern technologies and distinctive designs. It is unclear
exactly what car will be ‘reborn’ in this instance but we can see it will be a
sleek two-door, two-seater with a retro design.
More specifically, the provided teaser
image shows the car has a simple yet flowing silhouette as well as a long hood,
inevitably packing a pretty powerful engine. The car also looks to sport a
black fabric soft top as well as chrome wing mirrors and door handles. It also
resembles the ‘Project Wami‘ that Ares previewed a couple of years ago.
In a press release announcing the vehicle,
Ares Design says it will be responsible for the design and production of the
vehicle while Lalique will create a number of special crystal embellishments
for it. These handmade jewels will be produced at Lalique’s factory in Alsace,
France.
