In the early 2000s, the prototyping business focused on busses and multi purpose vehicles for municipalities. A collaboration with Lamborghini opened perspectives for further developments in the premium hybrid sport cars market. A daughter company was launched in 2008, with the rebirth of the Belgian brand Impéria Automobiles.
Imperia GP was a neo retro hybrid electric vehicle concept planned to be sold from 2011. The motorisation of the Imperia GP roadster relies on the so-called PowerHybrid propulsion technology (both thermic and battery powered electric propulsion).[2] Preorders were open in 2008, but many design changes and re-prototyping, with concomitant rescheduling were announced between 2009 and 2015, when the company's illiquidity was brought to the commercial court. A takeover proposal of luxury cars converter Carat-Duchatelet was refused by the court which declared the bankruptcy.[3][4] Surprisingly, the website of the brand, with many details about the evolution of the project, is still online in 2023.[5]
