Restomods combine classic design with modern performance, creating unique cars that appeal to enthusiasts. Top Gear’s recent YouTube video breaks down the process into four stages, starting with development. The Automobili Amos Lancia Delta Integrale “Futurista,” limited to 20 units at £350,000 each, represents this early phase. Its prototype, scarred by rigorous testing, highlights the challenges of turning a vision into reality.
The second stage focuses on aesthetics, as seen in Totem Automobili’s Alfa Romeo GTA. With nickel-finished details, slim door handles, and perfect proportions, it’s a stunning example of restomod artistry.
The third phase is refining the car’s purpose, as demonstrated by Cyan Racing’s P1800. Originally a track-focused design, it shifted toward a GT-style car to match its aging clientele, featuring softened suspension and a more comfortable demeanor.
Finally, the Kimera Automobili Evo 037 exemplifies perfection. Priced at €840,000, it masterfully blends rally heritage with modern engineering. Its 550-horsepower supercharged and turbocharged engine, paired with meticulous craftsmanship, sets a new standard for restomods.
