Four years. That is what it took to go from an idea to a car. Four years of drawings, moulds, trials, and parts remade until they fell into place.
The BellaRiva is reaching the end of that road. Its unveiling is close, and we cannot wait to show it to you.
35 years on
The Vertigo has its successor. The BellaRiva carries the Gillet heritage and everything we have learned in the workshop, with its eyes on what comes next. New design, new materials, new technologies: this is a car of today, while respecting the DNA that has always been the brand's.
We have already told you about TENRON and about the people who build it. Today we are letting you in, with a few parts of the car we had never shown before.
A few fragments, while you wait
We would like nothing better than to reveal the whole of it. That moment has never been closer. In the meantime, we are opening the workshop door just wide enough to let a glance through.
The BellaRiva draws on the world of boats. You had probably guessed as much from the first elements revealed on the site.
That world runs through to the smallest details. Take this touch of wood inside the headlights, which you will probably not see on any other car.
The cabin follows the same idea: the materials, the shape of the controls, every part was thought out in that spirit.
See you very soon
The date of the premiere will be announced shortly. Some of you will probably have the chance to see the BellaRiva in the flesh, and perhaps even in settings where you would not expect a car of this kind.
And for all those who will not get that chance, stay with us on our channels: we will share it right here, with the greatest pleasure.
Your comments and your messages, over all these years, say enough about your attachment to the brand and to cars. We fully intend to keep taking you along in our dreams, for a long time yet.
