With the build quality of cars and trucks in today's age, including custom builds, the market is ripe for a takeover. If you have the drive and knowledge, you can make a splash in the custom car world. Much like Riccardo Quaggio, the 28-year-old CEO of Totem Automobili, which is soon to become the new standard for Italian restomods. Riccardo was a young designer at Alfa Romeo and then decided he wanted to do things his own way and set a new standard. So, he took his passion for Alfa's and ramped up the build quality with full carbon fiber tubs, CNC'd aluminum for almost every fixture, 3D printed components covered in rich Italian leather, all the way down to knurled aluminum knobs and a custom gauge cluster built by Riccardo himself. Their flagship build, the GT Super, is 100% custom and sits about 10% larger than the original Alfa GTs, comprised solely of Carbon Fiber and Aluminum. The only two original parts of the GT are the VIN plate and trunk release handle. Follow along as Larry Chen shows you the intricacies and character of Totem's GT Super.

Yes! Normally it's someone in his fifties or sixties that has built up enough experience, desire, and confidence to do something like this. A 28 year old... should not have already worked as a designed at Alfa, and then left to build his own car, perfected the design, worked out the production processes, AND... created a show-ready prototype that will soon be running.

When you watch Riccardo talking about his work and his design, you can see his passion for excellence, you can see his commitment to perfection. You can see his pride when Hagerty validates his effort right at the end of the video. I really wish we could have more interview tiime with Riccardo to talk about how he maintains and shares his energy level to achieve this level of excellence to his team, day in day out. Honestly I think we see the next Horacio Pagani in this guy. And to imagine he is only 28 and has decades of expression ahead of him...

It was very apparent when Top Gear included John Hennessy in their little CEO special that he has no place at that table. He is a tuner who just happened to find someone to build him his own chassis to stick a turbo LS in. It’s not innovative because he’s not an innovator. The others are. Steve Saleen did what Hennessy has done, and arguably did it better, 20 years ago. As great as this Alfa is, and I truly love it, it’s not innovative either. He’s built a hell of a car, but he hasn’t moved the entire concept of what is possible with cars forward.

I can totally understand why people are willing to pay whatever amount he asks for one of these. It's absolutely stunning and each car is bespoke. There's nothing quite as good for hooking the attention of a rich person than telling them that they can spend more money to have a 1 of 1 car with everything customized to their preference.

That's what my question to the comments section was "if you could get either one fitted the way you wanted for 500k flat and you had the money to spend on one, which do you choose, a Singer Classic Study, or this?" This, you're right, is on a higher level as they're effectively starting from scratch while Singer is still using the central chassis and changing everything else.... that's a really tough choice, especially if you throw in Alfaholics offering as well...but while Alfas are absolutely gorgeous and have that long seasoned history, I really don't know if I could turn down a Singer Classic and that glorious F6 😅

It definitely is, maybe Americans don't know what they are but they definitely are even an original is worth more. And it has a carbon fibre tub, do you know how much they are worth and cost to make. Engineering is not cheap buddy. This isn't a fibre glass and plastic Corvette. This is heritage. Handcrafted beauty. This wasn't built by bud and bob at your local scrapyard.

I am not a big fan of "Restomods," but as a former Alfa Romeo mechanic, I appreciate and applaud this venture. The design, manufacturing, and execution are excellent and tasteful. I prefer a 4-cyl version, but I am OK with the V6. I couldn't own this parked in the garage to sit there. I can see myself driving this product just for the joy of driving it. Thank you, Hagerty, More of this, please...

It's a wet dream of CnC, carbon, restomod and an insane amount of level of detail. They say every car lover should at least once in his life own an Alfa. I beg to differ: This is the idea of timeless beauty and design, moulded from timeless materials. On a technical view: The 1.2ish tons are absolutely mindblowing considering the massive V6 an the literal ton of aluminum parts up to the freakin windshild wipers! Today it's all plastic and micro-engines, and those things weight up to 2 tons... I just love that guy and his cars 🤩
