Replica Talbot-Lago Coupé T150 C-SS Figoni & Falaschi “Teardrop”, 1937-39

For the management, the CMC Talbot Lago Coupé is a long-held and deeply cherished dream come true. In the early years, this demanding vehicle type was still somewhat ambitious to meet the high standards of this century's model. From today’s perspective, after over twenty years of experience in modeling classic cars, we were ready to recreate this dream vehicle with unmatched elegance and the aesthetic of the “Teardrop” body by French master coachbuilder Figoni & Falaschi as a world-class, high-end model.

When CMC decided to recreate the Talbot Lago Coupé with the “Teardrop” body as a model, the pulse of our designers quickened, and the joy of recreating such a masterpiece was immense. But it was also a challenge and a duty to do justice to this demanding project. Many experts worldwide agree that this vehicle can no longer be classified according to the standards applicable to typical cars. The Talbot Lago, with its bodywork crafted by the renowned French coachbuilders Figoni & Falaschi, looks like it’s from another planet. The car is simply what today could be called “the most advanced”.

When Talbot first presented the Coupé at the Paris Motor Show in 1937, visitors were impressed. This quickly led to the terms “goutte d'eau” (water drop) and “teardrop-shaped coupé”. Although never officially used, these words aptly described its extraordinary shape. Everything about this fascinating vehicle and every detail reflects a deep passion for design and matching accessories. Every line and every rail enhances the effect without overwhelming.

This car is a harmonious unit – from the narrow front fender to the chromed exhaust tip. Additionally, it features a luxuriously equipped interior with artistic craftsmanship in noble wood and elegant leather. The six-cylinder inline engine runs silkily under the hood of the Coupé, producing 140 or 160 HP depending on the model. Its powerful torque guarantees energetic driving and good acceleration figures. Only 16 of these cars—each differing by subtle or more noticeable details—were built between 1937 and 1939. Only about a quarter of these impressive vehicles are still known today as witnesses to a bygone era when form was still a priority.
