Salaff Design previews limited edition C2 supercar

Concept Cars, Special Cars 11 Aug 2018

At the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance Salaff Design will unveil the C2, a supercar based on the Lamborghini Gallardo and featuring a distinctive styling.

The distinctive styling treatment of the 2-seater C2 supercar takes inspiration from the spirit of vintage racing cars, yet uses a future-oriented, bold design language made of sharp lines and angles, and an interplay of surfaces and voids, facets and fluidity.

The man behind the project is Carlos Salaff, former Senior Exterior Designer at Mazda’s Californian design studio, who founded his own company back in 2015.

Speaking about the C2, he explains “the exterior forms hint at timeless classics like the Ferrari 330 P4, Porsche 917 and Peugeot 905, while at the same time expressing a modernity found in architecture and fashion.”

The body will be built in carbon fiber and/or optional hand-beaten aluminum metal sheets.

Former Mazda designer builds his own supercar

Carlos Salaff, former Senior Exterior Designer at Mazda's Californian design studio, has founded his own company to work on Project Caden, a one-off sportscar inspired by vintage racing cars.

The cockpit features robust toggle switches, machined aluminum details, carbon fiber and durable leathers, which contribute to a timeless design enhancing the driving experience and the connection between man and machine.

The vehicle is planned to be handbuilt to order: customer will provide the donor Gallardo, which will be then modified both mechanically (mainly drivetrain and suspensions) and aesthetically.
