– Saoutchik’s 300 GTC is a low-volume, handcrafted homage to the iconic Mercedes 300 SL.
– It is based on a Mercedes-Benz SL, combining retro design elements and an extended silhouette.
– With only 15 units to be made, the 300 GTC is expected to exceed the SL’s top-tier pricing.
В Нидерландах решили возродить кузовное ателье Saoutchik, основанное уроженцем Российской империи Жаком (Яковом) Савчиком в 1906 году. Вот уже восемь лет права на этот бренд принадлежат фирме Saoutchik BV (аналог российского общества с ограниченной ответственностью), имеющей тесные связи с дизайн-студией Ugur Sahin Design. Последняя известна не получившими внятного продолжения концептуальными проектами суперкаров. Так что будет ли построен дебютный Saoutchik 300 GTC, ещё большой вопрос.
Да и о самой машине информации пока немного. Родстер хотят выпустить в количество 15 штук, покупателями которых видят автомобильных энтузиастов и коллекционеров. На рендерах хорошо виден барочный стиль в духе оригинального Saoutchik, хотя сам дизайн отсылает к
Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, что дает основание рассматривать в качестве машины-донора тот же SL, но уже современный. Автомобили получат углепластиковые кузова от Pogea Racing, однако двигатель, трансмиссия, силовой каркас и электроника у них будут от исходника.
