1958 | Mk1 Scarab

Automotive Designer Chuck Pelly

Lance Reventlow commissioned, financed and raced the Scarab. Sometimes he would declare that he chose the name Scarab for his cars because it was the ancient Egyptian symbol of immortality. Other times he would claim that choosing Scarab as his brand-name had instead been just an inside joke; naming his car after a lowly dung beetle was his way of thumbing his nose at the contemporary convention of naming cars with what he described as "super-totemistic" names – usually the more macho the better.
