Mehdi Vidal

Rimont

A 2023 recipient of the prestigious title “Meilleur Ouvrier de France”, Mehdi is a true artist. With the plans provided by Pierre-Henri Raphanel, he deployed his exceptional talent to shape the Bugatti Baby T52’s bodywork by hand with passion and meticulousness. It’s a remarkable feat to blend the artistic flair of his creations with a rigorous, almost industrial precision, all the while employing techniques from the last century.

Accompanied by a small team that boasts 15 years of experience and multiple trade titles among them, these elite craftsmen set the bar at its highest mark.
