Established in 1999 by Moroccan entrepreneur Mohamed Laraki, the company was later taken over by his son Abdeslam Laraki, a designer who began creating luxurious yachts before studying automobile design in Switzerland. In 2002, he launched the Laraki Fulgura, and in 2012, Eric Van Hove created the V12 Laraki sculpture, which was made entirely from local materials and craft techniques. The sculpture was displayed at the 5th Marrakech Biennale and later acquired by the Hood Museum of Art. In 2013, the Laraki Epitome was unveiled at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance with only nine models planned for production. Fitted with a C6 Corvette V8 engine and twin turbochargers, it could produce 1,200 horsepower and up to 1,750 horsepower on 110-octane gasoline fuel. The Epitome's body was made of carbon fiber and had a price tag of $2 million, making it the most expensive car on the market. Hip-hop artist French Montana bought one of the nine models produced.
