Workshop
Recreating legendary cars as living art.
Using time-honored techniques to capture the spirit of icons
We recreate legends, bringing them back to life with the same soul and precision that once defined them. At AVD, every car is designed, engineered, and hand-built with the devotion of master artisans and the rigor of modern engineering.
Our workshop in Belgium is dedicated to a singular mission: design, engineer, and hand-build every car from A to Z. It is a sanctuary where artistry meets mechanics, where each project is treated as a unique masterpiece.
This is not industrial production but a craft of precision, where every strike of the hammer shapes history and every line reflects passion.
Each recreation embodies this vision : not simply reproduced, but revived with the same soul, presence, and timeless allure that continues to inspire generations.
Build with authentics pieces.
Authenticity is the foundation of our craft. Each project is drawn in 3D, modeled and fabricated with uncompromising precision.
For the 250 GTO Revival, every car begins with genuine Ferrari components: the chassis rails and V12 engine recovered from a 330, then re-engineered to the 1964 specifications.
The bodywork is sculpted in the same aluminum, every switch and dial recreated by hand. This is not imitation—it is the rebirth of an icon, built piece by piece with absolute fidelity.
A true revival.
Crafted with precision, guided by authenticity
Reviving a classic racing car goes beyond technical precision—it is the art of capturing its spirit. At AVD, the most delicate details, from the contours of the glass to the proportions of the cockpit, are studied and recreated with uncompromising fidelity.
Behind every car stand five specialists – from 3D design to bodywork and mechanics – whose combined expertise transforms years of work into a seamless whole. The result is an experience indistinguishable from driving an authentic 250 GTO.
Minimal adaptations, such as seating, steering and pedal position, ensure that today’s drivers can step into history without altering its essence.
A vision combined with 20 years of expertise.
Founded by Björn Arens, AVD embodies two decades of expertise dedicated to a true niche: designing and building vehicles entirely in-house, from first sketch to final assembly.
From Austin Healey and Alfa 33 Stradale to Mercedes 300 SLR and Porsche, each project reflects uncompromising craft. Today, AVD delivers its services worldwide—whether creating unique commissions or maintaining icons such as the 250 GTO Revival.
