COACHBUILDING
BY NIELS VAN ROIJ

Coachbuilding has a long history and tradition that stretches back over 100 years. In the early motoring days, when series production did not yet exist, the process of acquiring a new vehicle involved purchasing a chassis. After that, the customer approached a carrozzeria or coachbuilder, requesting a personal body design to be fitted on the chassis.

COACHBUILDING

REALIZING OUR CLIENTS IDEAS

Every car offers great opportunities for curated interior and exterior design work. From a brand new motorcar, to a youngtimer, or even classic cars. Through design sketches and computer renderings our team will realize your ideas. Our design research can touch the world of art and design and of course looks at cars too. A coachbuilt vehicle is the ultimate expression of you as our customer. Whatever it is that inspires you – nature, music, technology – our design team will integrate your wishes in a vehicle that will reflect your ideas and taste, whether it is a subtle detail or a grander gesture. Our clientele can choose to personalize understated features such as the car’s bright work and tread-plates or to make a more outspoken statement by having a fully new exterior design developed – or commissioning interior trim and features crafted especially for you.

DESIGN

Then the co-design process (we will design with you, not just for you) will start. We will present your ideas in ideation sketches, the inital thoughts put on paper. Later these will be developed once you have made a choice, into more refined and detailed renderings. Again a choice will be made.

5

DEVELOPMENT

Once the design has been “frozen” we can either start clay modelling on full scale, or use CAD computer technology to design your car digitally. The clay or the CAD model will help refine the design even further and will be used to produce your one-off car. Together with our top-end suppliers we will develop your personalised car design into a road going vehicle.
