The Legacy
Anthony Lago
In 1934, Antonio “Anthony” Lago took control of the French Talbot operation at Suresnes.
Engineer, businessman and determined competitor, Lago believed that sporting success, advanced engineering and elegance could belong to the same automobile.
Under his leadership, Talbot-Lago produced Grand Prix cars, sporting grand tourers and some of the most celebrated coachbuilt automobiles of the period.
His approach gives us something more useful than nostalgia.
It gives us a standard against which to judge what we do next.

Art-Deco Elegance Meets Racing Innovation
What set Talbot-Lago apart was the perfect marriage of aesthetic beauty and mechanical brilliance. Unlike other manufacturers, Talbot-Lago didn’t just build cars; they sculpted them.
Design
Coachbuilt Form
Talbot-Lago provided the engineering foundations upon which coachbuilders including Figoni et Falaschi, Saoutchik and others created some of the most recognisable automotive forms of the twentieth century.
Engineering
Built With Purpose
Talbot-Lago combined sophisticated chassis engineering and powerful engines with automobiles capable of both long-distance touring and competition.
Competition
Proven in Competition
Grand Prix racing and endurance competition were not side stories for Talbot-Lago. They were part of the marque’s identity, culminating in victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1950.
