About

OUR MISSION

Manifattura Automobili Torino is a boutique car manufacturer specializing in automotive special projects. From concept to manufacturing, we merge engineering excellence, craftsmanship, and advanced technology into a seamless, fast, and flexible process. Based in Turin, Italy—the cradle of automotive innovation—we create hypercars, one-offs, racing machines, and luxury vehicles. Others speak of dreams and visions. We build them. Simply put: We Do Cars.

Bespoke Creations & Limited Series

We build cars with a soul — and they carry our name. From exclusive limited series like the New Stratos to one-off creations born from a blank sheet, every M.A.T. car is designed, engineered, and built entirely in-house. Each project reflects our independent spirit: a perfect balance of performance, design, and authenticity. When clients come to M.A.T., they don’t just buy a car. They start a journey — and end with something that exists nowhere else.

Turn-Key Automotive Development

We partner with OEMs, start-ups, and innovators to bring bold ideas to life. M.A.T. offers full turn-key vehicle programs or targeted development services — from design and engineering to prototype and production. Our integrated team and flexible structure turn complexity into clarity, transforming ambitious concepts into road-ready vehicles — built with technical precision and the creative spirit of Italian coachbuilding.

FOUNDER

PAOLO GARELLA

Paolo Garella is an Italian engineer with 30 years of experience in the automotive field, driven by a deep passion for creating unique automobiles through craftsmanship and engineering excellence. Following a long and successful career, including roles at Goodyear and Pininfarina S.p.A., he founded Manifattura Automobili Torino in 2014.

“One-off cars are like people's lives: they are unique.
When I meet my clients, they tell me about
their lives and their ideas for a dream car.
I give this dream shape and speed
and I put it on the road.
I give it life.”
