Our Heritage The Genesis of Talbot-Lago From the crossroads of two great automotive legacies to the pinnacle of racing excellence, discover the story that shaped automotive history.

The Legacy

Anthony Lago - The Visionary

In 1934, an Italian-born engineer and businessman, Antonio "Anthony" Lago, took control of the French Talbot operation. With a background in engineering and a deep passion for automotive performance, Lago envisioned something greater than just producing cars

"He wanted to create masterpieces that blended power, beauty, and craftsmanship."

Under his leadership, Talbot became Talbot-Lago, a reborn marque with a renewed focus on luxury grand tourers and motorsport excellence. Lago introduced cutting-edge engineering innovations, including high-performance inline-six engines, independent suspension systems, and aerodynamic designs that set new benchmarks in the industry.

Art-Deco Elegance Meets Racing Innovation

What set Talbot-Lago apart was the perfect marriage of aesthetic beauty and mechanical brilliance. Unlike other manufacturers, Talbot-Lago didn’t just build cars; they sculpted them.

The Art-Deco Influence

Sculptural elegance transforming automobiles into moving art.

Talbot-Lago’s iconic aesthetic was defined by renowned coachbuilders, such as Figoni et Falaschi, Saoutchik, and Carrosserie Franay, who embraced the avant-garde Art Deco design movement. Working with Talbot-Lago’s powerful chassis, they crafted bespoke bodies, with sweeping, sculpted lines, adorned with extravagant chrome detailing, and fitted with luxurious interiors — transforming each car into a rolling work of art.

Pioneering Engineering

Advanced technology concealed beneath breathtaking design.

Beneath their sculpted exteriors, Talbot-Lago cars housed some of the most sophisticated technology of their time. Models like the T150C-SS featured a lightweight chassis, powerful 4.0L and 4.5L inline-six engines, and groundbreaking independent front suspension, making them formidable both on the road and the racetrack.

Racing Dominance

Beauty with power, challenging motorsport's greatest names.

While Talbot-Lago cars were celebrated for their elegance, they were also formidable in motorsports. The Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Prix and T26C became legends in post-war racing, taking on the likes of Ferrari, Maserati, and Alfa Romeo in Formula One and endurance events.

Through the genius of Anthony Lago and the masterful craftsmanship of his team, Talbot-Lago became a brand synonymous with innovation, elegance, and speed. Though production ceased in the mid-1950s, the legacy of these magnificent machines has never faded.

Today, we revive that same spirit, blending Talbot-Lago’s history of luxury, performance, and engineering ingenuity into a new era of hypercars. The foundation has been set.
The legend continues.
