PGO Hemera – 2011

Brothers Gilles and Olivier Prévôt began PGO (Prévôt Gilles et Olivier) Automobiles in 1985, but production started in earnest in 2000, building Porsche 356-inspired sports cars. Their first car, the Speedster II roadster, was introduced at the 2000 Paris Motor Show.

PGO launched the up-market Cevennes convertible in 2005. The Hemera coupe was added in 2008. PGO uses the same chassis, engine, and interior across the model line-up; only the fiberglass-bodied exterior is changed, keeping the weight between the three models fairly close to a lightweight 2160 lbs (990kg). With its roof, the Hemera is the heaviest PGO, weighing in at 2233 lbs (1013kg), putting it in competition with the likes of Lotus and Morgan.
