Every commission begins with a drawing. The drawing is carved at full size, in clay, until it is right. Some two years later, a motor car that exists once.

The first line belongs to the studio.
The second belongs to the client.

AMS SVO accepts a small number of commissions each year. Each begins with a single line and concludes, some two years later, as a motor car that exists once. The client is present throughout, and every commission is led personally by the studio's founder.

The structure

What lies beneath
is ours as well.

Most low-volume builders begin with another manufacturer's platform. AMS SVO engineers its own — a carbon fibre structure designed, tooled and assembled within the studio. Every car is built upon it.

Discretion

The greater part of our work
is never shown.

The studio builds for private clients, most of whom prefer that their cars remain private. Everything shown here is published with written permission.

Clay modelling studio at AMS SVO, automotive design consultancy

The studio

Drawn from
the great houses.

Ten designers, six engineers and six clay sculptors — from Lotus, Jaguar, Bentley, Porsche, Aston Martin, Ricardo, McLaren and Ferrari, and the design schools of Britain, Italy and California. Full names are withheld at the request of clients; several are credited on cars that cannot be named.
