Welcome to Chretien Roadsters!

This is the source for the highest quality in motorsport recreations of the world’s best & super high priced exotics!   Most of the originals we offer to recreate are priced in the millions of dollars.  Intended for eyes only to be gawked at & stored in the private collections or the museums of the super rich.  In other words, completely out of reach of regular folks.  Our recreations are affordable & can be bought for a mere fraction of those original exotic prices.

 An original  Ferrari 1957 Testa Rossa recently sold for $16.4 million, the highest price ever paid for a car at auction.  We hand-build our bodies mostly out of alloy aluminum  as a one-off basis per individual order for very lfortuitous  & priviliged individual customers.  They are not mass produced in a factory per se.  However, some of our more popular models are available out of aluminum covered hand-laid fiberglass for economies of scale. 

We generally build our cars as a turn-key minus roller where the customer purchases his own drive-train to be installed by others.  Most are set up for pre-emissions Ford or Chevy crate V-8 blueprinted engines for ease of registration purposes in all 50 states.  But we can design the car’s chassis engine mounts to fit  any motor  that your heart desires. Whether it be an exotic V-12, an air-cooled ohc flat-6, a  european or japanese  dohc  V-6 or inline-6 engine.   Just let us know what set-up you prefer to have installed & we will have the chassis custom built to suit to your needs.

Most of our cars take anywhere from a mere 3 months to up to 60 months (in some rare instances) to build after the order has been received.   All of our vehicles meet &/or exceed the most rigorous standards of modern day racing regulations. Each model is a one-of-a-kind custom-built work of art sculptured per your command.  It is primarily designed to compete in the milieu of gentleman’s racing or to be driven as a performance oriented personal road-rocket roadster. 

Unlike our competitors, our models are built completely by hand using modern CAD software engineering and design techniques.  We employ no robots, just old world artisans.  While our principal objective is to recreate the style of the original masterpieces, we take pride in the safety, strength, and innovation of our internal unique structural designs.  Our ladder-frame tubular chassis are generally up to 50% stiffer than the originals to avoid stressing the bodies.  Our bodies are thicker than the originals again to avoid possible stress cracks & can be upgraded to polished copper or even 18 guage cold rolled stainless-steel!

From the tranquil beach resorts of Marbella, Spain to the hairpin alpine turns in the Swiss alps; the gentlemens Mille Miglia rally in Italy, the rally Argentina-Chile, or to the flat-out top-speed road race known as the  Carrera Panamericana in Mexico where everybody flies down  lonely highways at breakneck speeds exceeding 140 mph, when you’re behind the wheel of a Chretien Roadster - you are already a winner and we guarantee that your adrenaline will be pumping in record time!
