Ares Design introduced Project Wami in 2018 and now they’re following up with a production model. Dubbed the Wami Lalique Spyder, it draws inspiration from 1950s roadsters and is almost a carbon copy of the 1956 Maserati A6G/2000 Spyder by Frua. However, it’s much more modern as it boasts a handcrafted carbon fiber and aluminum body.
The front end is dominated by a large egg
crate grille flanked by bright bumperettes and circular lighting units. It also
features a ram air hood, front fender vents and old-school wire wheels. Other
notable styling features include a retractable soft top, bright side skirts and
retro mirrors. There’s also a chromed four-tailpipe exhaust system and
protruding rear fenders.
The cabin mixes modern touches with old
world charm as the analogue gauges are separated by a digital display. The
model also features a freestanding infotainment system and a two-tone dashboard
with English oak trim. We can also see circular air vents, an analog clock and
Italian leather seats. Another interesting touch are the handmade crystal
embellishments, which come from French crystal maker Lalique.
Ares Design co-founder and CEO Dany Bahar
described the Wami Lalique Spyder as the “ultimate luxury accessory” and
promised it will be a “joy to own.” The company is currently accepting orders
and the first production run will be limited to 12 units.
