VIDEO: The Four Stages of Restomodding by Top Gear

Restomods combine classic design with modern performance, creating unique cars that appeal to enthusiasts. Top Gearโ€™s recent YouTube video breaks down the process into four stages, starting with development. The Automobili Amos Lancia Delta Integrale โ€œFuturista,โ€ limited to 20 units at ยฃ350,000 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 Automobiliโ€™s Alfa Romeo GTA. With nickel-finished details, slim door handles, and perfect proportions, itโ€™s a stunning example of restomod artistry.

The third phase is refining the carโ€™s purpose, as demonstrated by Cyan Racingโ€™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 โ‚ฌ840,000, 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.
