The most advanced RESTOMOD in the world? The 518-hp Alfa Romeo GT Electric by Totem Automobili

S6:E15
The Alfa Romeo GT Electric by Totem Automobili is an absolute gem of a restomod. Hailing from Italy, Totem Automobili's young founder, Riccardo Quaggio, is an ex-Alfa Romeo employee who decided to leave and follow his passion for Alfa Romeo in another direction. With the Alfa GT Electric, Riccardo has created an all-electric, 518-hp, widebody beast! Starting from a donor Alfa Romeo Giulia Junior, this car has been custom built by hand, with even the battery and electric motor technology being made in-house by Totem Automobili. We're sad we didn't have a chance to drive it, but looking forward to meeting up with this car in the future for a proper test drive!
Lastly, we want to give a big thank you to Miami Supercar Rooms for letting us do this walkthrough at their location.

I work with the 105 series. Every single time I am around the coupé version I can not for the life of me not be impressed, almost overwhelmed, by the Giorgetto styling. Almost 60 years on and still it is mesmerising. That said, I do feel the genius Italian styler all those years ago had no intention of including bumper bars, but legal requirements of various countries demanded that. And so, 4 small rectangular flat vertical blips were pressed into each corner. I've always wondered what a 105 coupé would look like finished in Signore Giugiaro's finished vision. In this all too quick 2 dimensional video Totem Automobili's 105 is gorgeous beyond my words. In 3 D it would bring tears. Many tears. Tears of joy, tears of beauty, tears of desire... Congratulations Signore Quaggio. But sometime, please, please, make some versions that are more affordable...

[@flashmonkey7967]

Drive it, drive it, drive it, drive it, pleeeeeeeeease drive it. This is truly an insane car. My first reaction was of horror that a piece of automobile history had been desecrated but after looking at the level of finish and the attention to detail but MOST OF ALL the sound, phenomenal. Can't wait to see the test drive. You guys are truly fortunate to see and touch this amazing car.

[@coptersight4113]

Y’all have amazing content. Watch a lot of car reviews etc & this channel is top of my fav. Keep it comin💯

[@GastonRossato]

Thank you for the kind words and support! We love making these videos and sharing all of these special cars with our community 🙌🏼

This is future of classics, very nice car.

[@GastonRossato]

It will certainly keep a place in history

So beautiful. Bring it back to the market just like they do with the mini.

[@seandavie3672]

Yes, drive it. That said, I'm glad he made it, but I'll stick to my twinspark powered scalino! The 105 is all about the Alfa 4 soundtrack!

[@LITE_BLOX]

Proud to be on board! (2:32) ⚡💙🏁

[@mitchellpintaric2336]

this look so cool this is exactly what iv been looking for. I hope they make more cars like this at a budget level.

Never

[@hugofilipe3639]

Thats a masterpiece

[@sthembisomadlala6943]

Loving the interior

[@bdrakman]

About 2 years ago at Sunset GT Cars and Coffee I saw a ratted out, patinaed 60's or 70's VW bug with a Tesla swapped drive. It was no where near this level but I liked the idea of showcasing old and new. This is very well appointed inside and out.

That car is one of the nicest, of all time.

[@micgiggs]

Yes guys. I wished to see more videos

[@bcaviews]

Nice video as usual but I would love to see a driving video of this car

[@GastonRossato]

Yes, we were disappointed too! We had full intentions of driving it. I hope we can do a follow up soon. Thanks for watching!

When will you put this amazing Alfa GT Electric on the road?

Please tell them to build more than 20 of them 😅😂 this car is so beautiful 😍

[@INCREDIBULHULK]

my goodness oh yeah this is car porn

[@DougC83]

It looks great, but it doesn’t drive when its being reviewed? That’s not a good sign, especially not for 500K. Also, the fact that it makes fake ICE sound is a NO NO in my book.

[@yashgulave8366]

Great video! But next time, work on your delivery of the words. The abrupt stops made it look like you two didn't memorize the script properly. But otherwise, it was a great video. And also, nice videography. Keep it up guys!

[@GastonRossato]

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. We can’t memorize because there is no script.

[@yashgulave8366]

@@GastonRossato No problem! But still, work on the delivery and you two will dominate. I hope you two achieve great success.

[@sportsfanivosevic9885]

Impressive mod but sacrilege to take out that beating heart and replace it with electric coils.

[@yoesomite2199]

By todays standard, these cars were never all that fast , especially the 1300 or 1600s .Yet people still want them. Why, because its not about horse power or speed, it never was. What Alfa lovers want is the feel , the real noise (not fake) . The fact that you know the poor little thing is revving its heart it's for you, its trying as hard as it can. Then when the fuel is almost out , you spend 2 to 3 mins at the service station , fill up ... and then you do it all over again.. Sorry , but my old 105 Stepnose is is still the best . BTW, if I had to fork out that kind of money . I'd buy an Alfaholics GTR !

Someone needs to buy Alfa Romeo and only release retro cars with electric drivetrains.

[@kamilpalkovsky4837]

škoda té elektriky, jinak vypadá dost dobře

We were disappointed too as we had full intentions of driving it. We hope we can de a follow up soon. Thanks for the watch!

[@1stMemberEver]

Why even drive? It's EV. The only difference is this one looks good.

[@alirezapahlevani765]

Please stop widebody on classic car

[@velkovskinikola2]

I like how it looks but would take the original over it any day. This is too shiny, too powerful and probably ridiculously expensive. And as I understood they are slaughtering a classic one to produce it. It is a pass for me even if I was shitting money. Half a million and 3 year waiting time. So for that amount you could get a perfectly restored original with couple of Alfaholics mods for fun on the weekends, a modern day electric car with similar performance for commuting and you would probably be able to buy a small house or an apartment in a small italian town with the change.

[@raymondsarvarian9074]

Electric ALFA open the trash bin and dumb that junk all the way to the bottom. This is the dumbest idea that a car guy can come up with. There is another company that restores this beauty the way it should be done. Check Chris Harris’s video on the car.

[@vinnyvasquez]

Pointless if electric

[@sdry]

speakers outside to make it sound like real car? was some 8yo at lead of tfis? woom wroom. absolute disaster.

Please😡😡😡

Love the car, Hate electrics, stunning mod though. Still can't drive? Typical Alfa.

[@jamiebizness1]

Lol I could do without the fake engine sound . But otherwise amazing 500 000 brick that doesnt drive .how unfortunate.

Nah this is not the future . At least not for many many decades . This car is a tragedy . I own 5 of the original gt juniors and they have a heart . This has no heart or soul ,it just looks like a living being you used to know . No solid , sex mad , speed mad , fun mad young A type male would want this . Nah , it's horrible

Fate questi esperimenti con le vostre auto americane e non toccate le auto italiane. Il vostro futuro non è il mio e di molti altri.

Guys, do you want to continue standing up and trying very hard lookself-lovigly cool? Don't be stupid, put your unwise bottoms in a car ans show the test drive. Still no idea how to make sennsible car reviews? watch Matt watson videos, maybe you will learn somethin'.

[@TameElof]

Here comes four wheels, and a little car. Do you put wheels on the car, or a car on the wheels? Why does all restomods (and modern cars) have those oversized, fugly toywheels..? Actually, I regret saying that, these rims are VERY good looking. Just a size too big.
