The first prototype was shown at the 1990 Paris Salon, where it was well received and encouraged Hommell to go ahead with a production version. This was shown at the 1994 Geneva Motor Show. The 2 seat sports coupe is powered by a mid-mounted 2.0lt Peugeot engine and 6 speed gearbox in a tubular steel chassis with all-round independent suspension.
In 1998, the Barquette, an open-top version, and the Berlinette RS, featuring a powerful Citroën fitted engine, were announced.
