The French brand was launched in 1980 by three avid automobile fans: the brothers Patrick, Gilles and Olivier Prévôt whose initials formed the brand name: PGO
PGO began production by manufacturing replicas but soon moved on to substantiating their own designs into full-scale vehicles.
The first of these was the Speedster II, this was a two-seater sports car in a retro-style but with a modern specification. It was first seen at the 2000 Paris Motor Show.
By 2005 51% of the company had been purchased by subsidiaries of the Al-Sayer Group, whose financial support allowed increased product research and development and resulted in the Cévennes roadster.[1] The Cévennes was notably featured in the video game World Racing 2.
At the 2008 Paris Motor Show, a new model was launched called the Hemera.[2]
