Vandenbrink Design is a Netherlands-based automotive design and coachbuilding company, founded in 2006 by Michiel van den Brink and Robert Koumans.[1]
In 2006, Van den Brink introduced a plan to design and build a special coachbuilt Ferrari, which received positive reception.[2][3][4][5][6]
Currently[when?] the company is working on the "Vandenbrink GTO", a tribute to the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, based on the underpinnings of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. Coachbuilding will be performed by Italian partners.[7]
In July 2009, Vandenbrink announced development of the Fra Mauro, a carbon fiber-bodied coach apparently based on the Spyker C8 Spyder chassis and featuring a mid-engine 4.2 litre V8 layout. Production numbers have yet to be determined.[8]
In April 2010, Van den Brink left the company to become an independent designer, leaving the firm to his business partner Robert Koumans.
