ROADBOOK N°1 · THE RAVAGE JOURNAL
A legendary mountain pass, a magazine that matters, a mythical circuit, a friendly workshop, a Grand Bleu on the roads of England. In one year, Ravage’s Alpine A110s crossed the Channel several times. And in February, the whole Ravage community will gather in Paris. Here is the story.
NOVEMBER 2025
Turini, where it all began
It all starts on the roads of the Col de Turini. Where the Alpine Berlinette became world champion, I invited Dickie Meaden, EVO Magazine’s star writer, to discover what we do at Ravage. Freed from my commitments at McLaren, I could finally show him our cars on the road that inspired them.
Two customer Ravages were there, with their owners. Three days of driving, talking, sharing a common passion for rallying. That is what Ravage is about: cars that exist because enthusiasts wanted them, and that are meant to be enjoyed together.
MARCH 2026
Five stars, twice
In March, the article came out in EVO. Two cars tested, two five-star verdicts. For a small French house, being judged at that level by one of the most demanding magazines in the world is recognition that counts. And it was the beginning of an English story. To mark the occasion, Dickie travelled to our workshop in Bazainville, near Paris, at O-ONE, to immerse himself in our history and our craftsmanship. And to drive two more Ravages, one of them on its very first test.
MAY 2026
Goodwood
In May, EVO invited us to Goodwood for a track day. With Dickie at the wheel, the Ravage held its own in a pack of Aston Martins and McLarens. On this circuit steeped in history, the Ravage Groupe 4 caused a sensation.
MAY 2026
Friends of Ravage
Right after, we went to visit the people who matter to Ravage.
Ledmore opened the doors of the Fire Station at Dunsfold Park, on the Top Gear track, so we could present the car in motion. A heartfelt thank you to their whole team for the welcome; that day would not have happened without them. My friend Jackie Han came along to talk design and configuration, one-on-one with customers. Jackie, among other things, designed the Aston Martin Valour and Valiant. An extraordinary day: enthusiasts who came to drive an F40 or a Chiron Sport, perfect weather, warm and unpretentious people. What more could you ask for?
A few days later, we presented the car at Wortec, the workshop of Paul and Anneliese, our partners. Their customers could see, touch, drive. That trip triggered the first firm GR4 orders for the British market. Ravage now had an address across the Channel.
Impossible to leave without calling on my friend Paul Howse and showing him the car for the first time. The man behind the design of the McLaren P1, among others, loves cars with strong character. Proof: his metallic grey Citroën CX, with a magnificent blue interior, into which he has slipped a GTI Turbo engine. A drive out of time. Pure madness, pure joy.
SEPTEMBER 2026
The road of the Grand Bleu
In September, England again. This time by car, with Pascal, the owner of the Grand Bleu, a bespoke Ravage in blue-tinted carbon. Departure from the Paris area, the Eurotunnel, then three days criss-crossing English roads, from London to the great estates of the English countryside. The journey started strong: on the train, a chance encounter with the Duke of London team. By the end of the crossing, we already had an appointment with them for 2027.
SEPTEMBER 2026
Hampton Court and Blenheim Palace
The Grand Bleu was shown at the Hampton Court concours d’elegance, then at Salon Privé at Blenheim Palace. Two English settings worthy of a unique car, shaped for a single owner.
SEPTEMBER 2026
Ludere Studio and The Unit
At the initiative of one of our customers, with Paul and Anneliese, we gathered at Ludere Studio, a photo studio, then at The Unit, an automotive concierge. Among enthusiasts, with some of our new British customers. The Grand Bleu, on a white background, had its portrait taken.
NEW
The 3D configurator
That evening, at Ludere Studio, I gave a preview of our 3D configurator. A Ravage turning before your eyes, in real time. Wheels, bodywork colour, carbon, every detail. And even the possibility of creating your own colour, which the Ravage team then develops with you.
After a few private sessions, it is now online, open to all. Once your configuration is done, send it to us: it is the start of a conversation, to find the best solution for your project together. Because the screen is only a starting point. Every car is then designed directly with me and the team.
PARIS, FEBRUARY 2027
See you in Paris
Ravage is now established in England. Our customers there are bringing extraordinary cars to life, and each one tells a story that belongs to them alone. But it is in Paris that the whole community will come together, at the Ultimate Supercar Garage. There we will unveil our latest creation, alongside Kimera, McLaren, Pagani and many other great names. Fine company for an Alpine shaped by hand in Bazainville.
We will be delighted to invite our owners to a preview on the evening of 2 February. A moment among ourselves, to discover the car before anyone else, and simply to be together again. Then, from 3 to 7 February, the show opens its doors to all. We would love to welcome you there, show you the car and introduce you to the people who bring it to life. See you very soon in Paris.
