Manifattura Automobili Torino or M.A.T. is an Italian company, active in the automotive bodywork sector, founded in Turin on 21 October 2014 as Società a responsabilità limitata, by Paolo Garella, after his departure from Pininfarina.[1]
The deed of incorporation into the company was signed by the partners Paolo Garella and Paolo Griot; M.A.T., in addition to the design and consultancy services, is engaged in the production of the New Stratos, a new edition of Lancia Stratos, in factory of Rivalta di Torino.
History[edit]
M.A.T. is an automotive company that designs, develops and manufactures luxury cars and one off vehicles. The first projects were the SCG003C & S, the Apollo Intensa Emozione and the Devel Sixteen.[2]
In January 2018, production of 25 New Stratos was launched,[3] presenting the vehicle at the Geneva Motor Show that same year.[4] The New Stratos project was born in 2010, when the German entrepreneur Michael Stoschek commissioned Pininfarina to reissue the Lancia Stratos,[5] made with the intention of keeping faith with the original project. The 2010 New Stratos was a custom built around the chassis of the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, suitably shortened and equipped with the same 540 HP V8 engine for a weight of 1,247 kilograms (2,749 lb).[6][7] The project was personally followed by Paolo Garella, who took it with him to M.A.T. Thanks to an agreement with Stoschek, the New Stratos is now in limited production.[8]
In December 2018, M.A.T. signed an agreement with the Japanese manufacturer Aspark for the development and final construction of the Aspark Owl electric supercar.[9][10] From the year of its foundation, the craft activity consisting of design to construction on commission, takes place in the factory located in Rivalta di Torino.
