The word "car" comes from the Latin carrus, a wagon, and shares its root with the Italian carro. Long before engines, the Romans raced the two-horse biga. Chariot returns to where it all began.
An American coachworks with Italian blood, Chariot Auto Roma draws on the heritage of Formula One, the great Italian coachbuilders and the golden age of grand touring. Every car is designed by founder Vince Pileggi and built one at a time.
"Every Chariot is bespoke. No two are ever the same."Vince Pileggi, Founder
