Our Story
Founded in 1983 by Philippe Billot, the goal of P3 Automobiles has always been to become a Center of Excellence for the most prestigious sport and collection cars ...

Our primary mission is to repair, develop and restore prestige vehicules. We have been goldsmiths working on jewels such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Rolls Royce and Aston Martin for more than 23 years.


Since 1986, our high technical abilities and serious approach helped us building a solid reputation in the field of motor racing, becoming one of the best known engine manufacturers/preparators in France and Europe, working on varied projects throughout the years, for example:


Superbike Road Racing R. Roche DUCATI Team 1992
World Championship with Falappa / Fogarty
Electronic gear system conception
Offshore racing LAMBORGHINI Engines 1988 / 1989 EST and
EUROMARCHÉ Team
ARIAS Engines
KSW Engines
F 3000 (Powerboat racing) MERCURI Engines – Pierre Pujol Team
1991 France Champion
Aviation CUNI AVIATION Engines

In parallel, we pursued/developed our primary garage activity and strengthened our relationship with the Lamborghini Factory, eventually earning the « Official Lamborghini Service » title in 1988.

That same year, we joined the VENTURI venture, becoming their exclusive dealer for the PACA area.

In 1993, P3 is involved in a private project to develop a Lamborghini DIABLO for use in Le Mans 24 Hours and GT Championship.

The design and conception of this DIABLO, featuring an inverted center engine and gearbox within a carbon chassis/shell, developed with the help of the Lamborghini Engineering Department and AEROSPATIALE.

Unfortunately, the project was abandoned just before completion due to the illness and death of the project leader Philippe Billot, in February 1996.

After his death his wife, Marie-Pierre Billot, took over, with the help and support of all the team.

Our activity is ow concentrated in two areas :


1) An AERONAUTICS Department was established at the request of AEROSPATIALE/ALCATEL: P3 automobiles modified its equipment and procedures to comply with ISO 9001 norms, and is now in charge of storing and manufacturing parts that will eventually become satellites.

2) The AUTOMOBILE Department is reoriented to its traditional garage activity, specially focus on high performances and prestige vehicules (especialy Lamborghini).

Our highly qualified technical workshop and our good reputation attract customers throughout all Côte d’Azur as well as overseas.
