Automobiles Cegga was a Swiss automobile manufacturer founded in 1960 by brothers Chude and Georges Gachnang. The company initially gained attention with its first car, a modified AC-Bristol, which participated in the 1960 Le Mans 24-hour race. Despite facing significant challenges, including a two-hour delay due to running out of road, the vehicle finished in 22nd place.
