Totem Built An Alfa So Beautiful It Could Make A Ferrari Blush

Totem’s GT Super Farina uses a 591 hp twin-turbo 2.8-liter V6.
Only 40 hand-built examples will be made by the Italian marque.
Luci del Bosco metallic paint recalls 1970s Italian sports cars.

This is Farina, the latest creation from Totem Automobili and the newest interpretation of its Alfa Romeo-based GT Super. Only 40 examples will exist, each crafted with obsessive attention to detail.

If Singer is the undisputed master of Porsche 911 restomods, Totem might just be playing in the same league when it comes to classic Alfas.

When ordering their dream ride, the owner of this GT Super wanted to make it stand out. With this in mind, they’ve opted for a shade of metallic brown dubbed Luci del Bosco, which, according to Totem, is inspired by the shades commonly found on Italian sports cars in the 1970s. It suits the car to a tee and is joined by gold-painted wheels and satin nickel trims.

Totem has also added its extended satin carbon fiber package. From every angle, this thing oozes cool and arguably combines retro and modern design elements better than any other restomod on the market.

The cabin is just as spectacular as the exterior. Ivory-colored Nappa leather adorns the seats, steering wheel, dashboard, and door panels, and is joined by Alcantara surfaces, carbon fiber accents, and metallic components.

There are also precision-milled aluminum and stainless steel details. Perhaps the pièce de resistance of the cabin is the gated manual shifter with a wooden shift knob.

Power For Days

Totem could have gone the easy route and dropped in a lightly refreshed, period-correct Alfa engine, but that wasn’t the brief.

Instead, it partnered with Italian engine manufacturer Italtechnica to develop a 2.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with six individual throttle bodies, as well as direct and port fuel injection.

It delivers 591 hp and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) in standard guise, but can be upgraded to push out 739 hp and 627 lb-ft. Those are some seriously impressive figures, particularly when you consider how compact the GT Super is.

Prices for the car start at an eye-watering €539,000 ($625,000). That’s a lot of money, but for those seeking a great Italian motoring experience, as well as a car that can double as a head-turning art piece, and can afford it, the GT Super is probably worth every penny.
