Would need to be something manufactured in very VERY large quantities and with significant give-ins when it comes to quality and hardly any handwork. Renault 17 comes to mind, though it would of course have an interior more similar though different to the rest of the lineup. R&D + production costs would otherwise make it inaccessible.

The problem is...why? Why would a company bother doing that to make a scant amount of profit? The trick here is to make something 'bespoke' that you can charge an arm and a leg for...so that some rich person gets something that makes them feel special. Even Singers have increased in price by around 10 fold in the past 10 years. As they mentioned in the video...that one company charged from 450...up to 800K based solely on market pressure. Most of these resto-mod companies make obscene money on their cars. I don't think the market exists for a company making 50K restomods.

@TKOIII
@TKOIII Күн бұрын
The problem is that when you're building low volume cars, there's no economies of scale, so the cost to develop a 500k restomod like the Kimera would be roughly the same, or only slightly more, than the cost to develop a 50k restomod. This means that they'd have to sell like 10x as many or more to reach the same profitability. More critically though, the lack of economies of scale means its harder to offset fixed production costs, such as the cost to make molds, which large automakers can spread across millions of cars, making the price of the mold per use far lower. And molds are only one of many production costs that can be prohibitively expensive for low volume automakers. Some companies do manage it though. For instance, you can buy a kit from Factory Five for as low as $15,000. You just have to build it yourself (or buy a used already built one).

Kimera recalls the original Lancia 037 in shape but it is a quite different car. * Original 037 (race version) = 2L engine, roots-type blower, 350 CV max at 8000 Rpm, Torque max 35 kgm at 5500 Rpm, no digital maps selectable for ECU, body panels in polyester fiber + fiberglass. * Kimera = 2.1L engine, Turbocharged + Supercharged, 505 CV max, 56 Kgm max torque (don't know RPMs for poer+torque), ECU with options for different digital maps, body panels: extensive use of carbon fiber. Kimera is legitimately a hypercar, plus every customer can request it to be completely customized so that practically every car of this kind is a one off item.

Agree. The contribution by Singer was savvy marketing of collected go faster bits that have been around for years. How do you charge a fat profit on top of a restoration ?

I’m glad restomods exist, I won’t and can’t afford to buy one but very happy they are out there.. Companies that do Restomods often such as Frontline developments also offer good value kits for various changes to your classic. My MGB Roadster is far from these restomods, but it is a cheap exceptionally fun driving car that after modifying the original B series engine somewhat can easily hassle moderns on a country road. I love it.

The older I get the more I start to realize is that for guys like me, these kinds of cars are pretty much a pipe dream. At least, almost. Because Restomods aren’t just something a manufacturer makes (no matter how big or small). It’s the process of bringing a car back, as in the restoring part of it, and then making it better. Of course better is subjective to the builder/owner so that leaves lots of room for different kinds of restomods. Including those with a fit and finish that fells like a factory car, like those featured in the video. Overall, I quite liked this approach for the video. I hope we can see some more like this :) good job guys

It is brilliant to see these older designs resurrected and modified/modernised. The fact they are all manuals ( except the Totem) is great as it is what enthusiasts want (manufacturers these days don’t realise -or care- that we want manuals). The trouble is the cost. I realise it costs more for bespoke low numbers development, but it is out of reach for most people. Will even those who can afford them drive them like they should? I doubt it. More garage queens… If you had that sort of money, albeit they are totally different concept to these restomods, there are a raft of supercars that are a fraction of the price to consider too…

Loving the patina on that 2dr integrale. It’s the perfect condition to just park it willy-nilly at the local OBI. Greetings from Canada with my euro-spec Italian import 16v Integrale.

Love the beautiful P1800, gorgeous, easily my favorite. You can skip 5:10 - 9:15, just Elitist propaganda. Rest-o-mods are wonderful, I have built one myself the way I want it, and it makes me giggle like a school-girl every time I step on it. Great stuff!

Love them all. Agree about the weight - safety measures have been driving size & mass up for years. The new Boreham Escort looks like gorgeous but again +£300K and only 150 samples.... When can we have a sub £50K Resto - would buy one in a heart beat!

No brainer really: The Kimera is the best drivers car ever and if you do know the story of the 037, it is the logic winner. Well done, Top Gear ! I do know a bit about drivers cars 'cause I did own a Lotus Exige MK1 for a very long time :o))

As a 55 year old man who as a teenager watched fire breathing Group B rally cars, I think if a few flames had come from the rear exhaust of the 037 it would have been all over for 🎉

If two cars out of four are Lancia, I think Stellantis should have to put a bigger effort to revive this glorious brand. Because it's not just about Delta or 037, don't forget the marvellous Stratos, a masterpiece.

I'd grab the petrol Totem! The bespokeness of that project impresses. My own build of choice would be a Jag XJ coupe with the V12 (supercharged), 6 speed manual and truckloads of improvements and bespoke details... Would probably be a bargain compared to these. And even more unique 😉

Resto mods have been a thing in the US domestic scene for DECADES. Just as much work goes into some of those as these European ones. It's been part of the hot rodding scene since day one. Also: the 037 is a CARBON TUB. It's worth every penny.
