Inspired by the design of the '30s, the Devaux Coupe captures the essence of some of the world's finest cars and those who know their automotive history can readily identify elements of the famous coupés of the late 1930s - like the Bugatti 57 SC Atlantic, the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 B Lungo or the Bentley 41/4 litre Streamline.
Every viewing angle gives you another perspective and stirs a new set of emotions. Sleek beautiful lines, an aggressive sporty stance, the elegance of a 1930s grand tourer - the Devaux has it all. From the front, the amazingly long rakish bonnet and two large 'wing-pontoons' dominate. An oval shaped grill and four external headlamps finish the nose perfectly and add to the sophisticated classical appearance.
The Devaux Coupe features an elegant cockpit including comfortable Muirhead Aviation leather seats and a large four-spoke wooden and alloy Moto-lita steering wheel that continue the distinctive 1930's theme. The centrally positioned speedometer and tachometer dominate the period styled dashboard and are joined by a cluster of four auxiliary gauges.
The Devaux sits on a long 2794mm (9'2") wheel base with a 1385mm (54 1/2") front and rear track. Overall length is 4800mm and overall width is 1612mm.
