Lola Ultimo

The Lola Ultimo by Studio Michelotti.

Vehicle Overview

The Lola Ultimo, a visionary concept car, was crafted and developed by the renowned Studio Michelotti. This striking vehicle, powered by a mid-engine Chevrolet V8, was commissioned by a Canadian client, showcasing the international appeal and influence of Michelotti’s designs. Although initially planned for an earlier debut, the Lola Ultimo finally made its grand entrance at the Geneva Auto Salon in 1981, capturing the attention of automotive enthusiasts and industry experts alike. The creation of the Lola Ultimo marked one of the final projects overseen by Giovanni Michelotti, a legendary figure in automotive design, before his untimely death in 1980 at the age of 58. Giovanni Michelotti’s legacy was characterized by his innovative approach and contributions to the design language of numerous iconic vehicles. His designs were known for their elegance, functionality, and forward-thinking aesthetics. Following Giovanni’s passing, his son Edgardo Michelotti took the helm, continuing his father’s esteemed work until 1990. Edgardo upheld the Michelotti tradition of excellence, ensuring that the studio remained a significant player in the world of automotive design. The Lola Ultimo stood as a testament to this enduring legacy, reflecting both the innovative spirit of Giovanni and the commitment of Edgardo to preserve and advance the Michelotti name. The last car exhibited by the Michelotti company was the “Villedeuxmille,” presented at the 1990 Torino Auto Show. Although it was only a non-functional maquette, the Villedeuxmille symbolized the studio’s continued exploration of futuristic design concepts and its dedication to pushing the boundaries of automotive aesthetics.
