Turin-based Stola is a renowned engineering company in the prototype manufacturing sector, offering advanced services for third parties such as the most important automakers.

Now Stola proposes a in-house developed luxury coupé, defined "100% made in Stola", that previews a family of extremely exclusive niche motor cars to be produced in the next future in a very limited series.

Future customers will not only be able to define the interior and exterior design of the car spawned by this concept, but even decide the name itself.

The model unveiled at Geneva was developed in partnership with Brabus, Alcar and Pirelli and will be built in just 25 units.

It is based on a Brabus V12 biturbo powertrain-platform, with a 6.3 litre engine producing 750 bhp and 1360 Nm of torque, ad has a top speed in excess of 330 Km/h (200 mph).

The design of the Mita rims, the first chromed alloy wheels by AEZ, consists of nine slender spokes that are gently curved to create an extraordinary lustre. The car is shod with 315/25X22 Uhp Pirelli PZERO tyres.

Among the recent creations by Stola are the 2005 Maybach Exelero Sportcoupé, the 2006 Fisker Tramonto, produced by Stola itself in a limited series of 150 units, and the construction of the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and the Citroën C-Métisse concept cars, both unveiled at the 2006 Paris Motor Show.

More recently, Stola has built a 1:1 scale model based on an original project by architect Carlo Mollino (1973).
