In this Hagerty episode, we dive into the world of Italian craftsmanship with Totem's Resto mod Alpha Romeo, a car that oozes style and performance. This bespoke beauty features a carbon fiber tub chassis and a bespoke 2.8 L twin-turbo V6 engine, delivering a whopping 400 horsepower. With a price tag ranging from half a million to 650,000 euros, this machine is not for the faint-hearted but for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
Ricardo Quadro, the mastermind behind Totem, takes pride in the Italian heritage of the car, with almost every part being meticulously crafted in Italy. From custom fabric interiors to vintage-inspired wheels, every detail screams sophistication and luxury. The GTS brake system and CNC-produced components showcase the dedication to quality and performance that Totem embodies. The team's goal of increasing production to one car every two weeks demonstrates their commitment to delivering top-notch vehicles to their discerning clientele.
As the Hagerty team takes the prototype for a spin, they are blown away by the car's power and agility. The 50/50 weight distribution, along with the transaxle gearbox from a Ferrari 550, ensures a thrilling driving experience. The attention to detail, from the custom badges to the handcrafted components, sets Totem's Resto mod apart in a sea of mass-produced vehicles. This is a car that not only turns heads but also delivers a driving experience like no other, truly embodying the passion and artistry of Italian automotive design.
