The Return of a Legend Motion as Art Legacy as Emotion
When the past becomes the future, and a car transforms into a masterpiece.
In 2025, the world once again hears the name Saoutchik a name synonymous with the golden age of coachbuilding, elegance, and artistic automotive expression. But this is no mere revival. It is a renaissance of a philosophy, where every curve carries meaning, every detail breathes intention, and every car is a unique signature of its owner.
Founded in 1906 by visionary Jacques Saoutchik in Paris, the house quickly became an icon of the Art Deco era, crafting spectacular bodies for marques like Delahaye, Hispano-Suiza, and Bugatti. Today, more than a century later, that spirit is reborn in the Torpedo S a vehicle that fuses past glory with the precision of modern engineering.
Tradition Meets Tomorrow
The Torpedo S is not a nostalgic replica. It’s a bold reinterpretation. Inspired by the legendary Mercedes 300 SL, this Grand Tourer is the result of an exclusive collaboration with Ugur Sahin Design — a design house known for blending elegance with high-performance vision.
The entire body is made of carbon fiber not just for lightness and strength, but to unlock the expressive potential of every surface. Each line is not simply drawn, but sculpted with emotion. Each proportion, each silhouette, is a contemporary homage to timeless beauty.
From Sketch to Speed: A Design Manifesto
The birth of the Torpedo S begins quietly a pencil touching paper in search of the perfect gesture. It is more than a sketch. It is intent. From there, the concept transitions into the digital atelier, where each form is refined through cutting-edge 3D modeling and CAD precision.
No detail is left to chance. The vehicle’s skin is perfected with millimeter-level craftsmanship. Even the invisible components those that will never be seen by the eye are treated with equal reverence. Saoutchik doesn’t build cars. It creates kinetic sculptures.
Bespoke Without Boundaries
At Saoutchik, personalization is not an upgrade. It is the very core of the experience.
Every Torpedo S is born from a dialogue with its owner a private commission where imagination takes the wheel. From hand-mixed exterior paints to interiors tailored like haute couture salons, each car becomes a reflection of its driver’s lifestyle and personality.
Only 15 units will ever be made. Each one is hand-built over the course of 8 months, with every stitch, panel, and surface custom-designed. Want your initials engraved on the dials? A full set of fitted luggage to match the cabin? A unique lighting composition? Consider it done. This isn’t customization it’s creation.
The Future: Bold, Emotional, Human
In an era where automation, minimalism, and silence dominate the narrative of mobility, Saoutchik offers an alternative: beauty, intention, and emotional engagement.
Future Saoutchik models will integrate avant-garde technologies with the soul of craftsmanship. Interfaces will disappear into design. Electric drivetrains will whisper with grace. And materials responsibly sourced, tactile, and expressive will invite the human hand.
Saoutchik designs will become sanctuaries for collaboration between fashion, art, architecture, and engineering. Together, they will shape vehicles that seduce, surprise, and elevate the everyday.
This is not retro.
This is resurrection.
Not mass production, but mastery.
Not a car. A story. Yours. In motion.
