The 1938 Talbot-Lago T150 C Teardrop Coupé, designed by the legendary coachbuilders Figoni & Falaschi, remains one of the most breathtaking automotive designs of all time. Unveiled at the 1937 Paris Motor Show, this masterpiece combined aerodynamic elegance with race-proven performance.
Beneath its sculpted, flowing bodywork, the T150 C was powered by a 4.0-liter straight-six engine producing 160 horsepower, delivering both speed and sophistication. It proved its racing pedigree at the 1938 24 Hours of Le Mans, where an unmodified version secured third place—an impressive feat for a luxury grand tourer.
Beyond its performance, the T150 C was a true pioneer in automotive aesthetics. It was among the first cars to be finished in Nitrolac metallic paint, enhancing its dramatic teardrop-shaped curves. Figoni & Falaschi’s signature blend of artistry and aerodynamics resulted in a timeless design that remains a benchmark of pre-war automotive beauty.
