Hommell was a French automobile manufacturer. Founded in 1990 by Michel Hommell, a former racing driver and the owner of Échappement, the company was based in Lohéac, near Rennes, Brittany.
The first prototype was shown at the 1990 Paris Salon, where it was well received and encouraged Hommell to go ahead with a production version. This was shown at the 1994 Geneva Motor Show. The 2 seat sports coupe is powered by a mid-mounted 2.0lt Peugeot engine and 6 speed gearbox in a tubular steel chassis with all-round independent suspension.
In 1998, the Barquette, an open-top version, and the Berlinette RS, featuring a powerful Citroën fitted engine, were announced.
