A restomod is a thrilling fusion of classic automotive design and cutting-edge technology. By marrying the best of both worlds, these unique vehicles offer a driving experience that is both nostalgic and futuristic.
P1800 Cyan
The original Volvo P1800, introduced in 1961, was an iconic car with timeless design and appeal. But that’s where any similarities end. The only things remaining from the donor car are the roof pillars, handbrake, and wipers. The P1800 Cyan is powered by a 420 horsepower racing engine, and the extensive use of carbon fiber contributes to a weight of just 990 kilograms.
This restomod is a beast you’ll want to conquer winding Alpine roads or take a few laps at the Nürburgring. Count us in for an example in Volvo California white, just like the one Roger Moore drove in ‘The Saint’.
Veloce12
Founded in 1926, Italian coachbuilder Touring Superleggera has been behind numerous automotive masterpieces, including the Alfa Romeo Disco Volante, Aston Martin DB5, Lamborghini 400 GT, Maserati 5000 GT, and Ferrari 166 MM. The Veloce12 revives the golden age of grand touring, transforming every journey into an adventure with its handcrafted body and powerful, naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 503 horsepower.
Based on the Ferrari 550, the Veloce12 evokes the analog driving sensation of the 1990s, yet with enhanced driving dynamics for the 21st century. Touring Superleggera emphasizes that each example requires 5000 hours of craftsmanship.
Kimera EVO37
For over two decades, the Lancia 037 was scorching the global rally scene with style. The Italian ‘bella machina’ is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful race cars in history. Thanks to the experience gained during the restoration of original examples, former professional driver Luca Betti embarked on creating a modern reincarnation.
The result is impressive. The design follows the original, and the heart of the car is a 500+ horsepower engine developed with the help of engineer Claudio Lombardi, who also worked for the factory rally team. With rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission, the Kimera EVO37 is the ultimate car for driving enthusiasts, taking us back to the golden age of rallying.
Eccentrica V12
Emanuel Colombini, a successful entrepreneur and avid car enthusiast, decided to celebrate his love for automobiles in a unique way. Under the name Eccentrica V12 lies a Lamborghini Diablo, one of the most iconic cars of the 90s, which will be produced in only 19 units. The devilish nature of the Lamb is still powered by a 12-cylinder symphony orchestra that now develops over 550 horsepower.
With numerous improvements to the brakes and suspension, the Eccentrica V12 has become a modern hypercar with the soul and heart of a classic. The interior is a blend of classic charm and modern technology where additions like digital dials and high-quality materials create a unique ambiance.
Eagle Spyder GT
Jaguar E-Type is a timeless masterpiece, a symphony of curves and lines that Enzo Ferrari himself deemed ‘the most beautiful car ever made.’ Drawing inspiration from the past, Eagle has reimagined the Jaguar E-Type, preserving its iconic charm while enhancing performance and comfort. The Spyder GT is a harmonious blend of form and function. Its elegant design, inspired by the Speedster, is complemented by the exceptional performance of the Low Drag GT.
The Spyder GT is an engineering masterpiece, requiring over 6,000 hours to craft. Every detail, from the engine choice to the finest interior touches, is meticulously tailored to the buyer’s specifications.
