Bred for Le Mans. Kept for life.
Bucephal is a five-seat hybrid endurance car for the road. It sounds like a MotoGP prototype and transforms in minutes, like a kit of parts. A racing car for the whole family, yet a grown-up's toy for you alone.

Together with you, we will find our own style. The emblem is still being chosen — what you see on screen is the search, not the final mark.
The atmosphere of the racing paddock on an ordinary weekday. Finish your coffee and set off for work in your own racing car.
As a child you swapped the body panels on toy models of your favourite cars; now you will be able to transform your own Bucephal in your garage in a matter of minutes.
A racing car is a kit that takes a whole team… Bucephal needs only you.
Tired of a black leather cabin, and longing for more carbon outside? Change every cabin panel and removable body part in a matter of minutes! Bring your boldest ideas to life — there is no need to buy another car or visit a tuning studio.
A heart that sings, charging you for wild adventures.
The car is pushed forward by four electric motors making more than 1,000 hp. But the heart of Bucephal is a V4, as in MotoGP prototypes, whose sound and vibration will give you wild emotion and goosebumps.
Under the rear deck sits a 90° V4, built to motorcycle-racing practice with an Italian engine house. It is the heart and the generator. It charges the battery, and it charges you; it fills the cabin with the sound and the shake of a racing car.
Silent when you take your child to school. Deafening when you take your own… For the first time, four wheels carry not only the body, but the soul!

Bucephal suits everyone — but only for the driver is it truly personal
Every time we get into a car, something does not suit us: the size of the wheel, or the shape of the seat… Bucephal changes all that for good.
MorphoSeat is a racing seat that adapts to your body. MorphoWheel is a wheel that changes not only its height and reach, but its diameter too.
Build the car you dream of and change it to suit your mood. Forget tuning shops — you are your own tuner, and we are your crew.
Cabin parts and some exterior panels come as numbered sets on our own fixing system — leather or alcantara, forged carbon or classic, a red cabin or a white one… Change your Bucephal to suit your mood in half an hour, in your own garage. Hand back one set, take away another.

Swap time around 30 minutes for a full pit stop, though we will time it exactly, together with you
The titanium fastening is rated for structural and crash loads
Power is earned, not ordered as an option
The car knows who is driving. It also knows what that person can handle.
Bucephal keeps a profile for every driver and recognises them by face at the wheel. Everyone starts at the road level.
To unlock more power and the sharper, angrier settings, you must pass a series of test runs in a game built into the car. Whatever our age, we want to play! But a racing car cannot be entrusted to a child… and your children will certainly ask you for a drive in Bucephal, as soon as they get their licences, and one cannot refuse them
Setups with a name on them
A car is only as good as the hands that set it up. Those are the hands we are inviting.
We invite drivers from WRC rallying, 24h Le Mans endurance, drifting, Formula 1 and even MotoGP to sit down with our engineers and build one signature setup each.
A finished setup is saved in the car under the name of the driver who created it. You choose which one to drive today, or simply take the setup of your favourite driver.
No setup will be given a name until the driver has given consent. The list will open with the first contracts.
Bucephal is being built by people who spent their lives dreaming of making their own perfect car and never found the right moment… until today
The plan is simple: an idea gathers like-minded people, who light the first fires of the hearth where the parts are forged. Managers, engineers, designers, drivers — you are those who have the strength and the talent, granted by the spark of the Almighty, to make and to create. Bucephal was the friend and warhorse of Alexander of Macedon, and now we have been given the chance to turn all our childhood dreams into a real iron warhorse.
We are assembling that crew right now. And by the way, what do you think the first Bucephal model will be called? If you have any ideas or guesses, write to us!
