The Totem Automobili GT Super has a reinforced chassis and is equipped with a 2.8-liter 90° V6 twin-turbo engine that produces a maximum output of 608 PS.
Totem Automobili has developed the GT Super, a restomod based on the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Limited to just 40 units, the GT Super is equipped with a 2.8-liter 90° V6 twin-turbo engine developed in collaboration with Italtecnica, driving the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. It boasts impressive specs: a maximum output of 608 PS, 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.1 seconds, and a top speed of 250 km/h.
At the Track Development Day held at the Vairano Circuit in December 2024, Totem Automobili unveiled its latest creation, the GT Super chassis No. 12 “Iperia.” The Iperia’s bodywork is finished in a custom metallic green finish. Matte-finish carbon fiber elements attached to various parts change shape depending on the angle of the light, forming either a square or diamond pattern.
Towards clearing the strict “IVA” test
The beautifully finished interior of the GT Super Chassis No. 12 Iperia. Despite being a small automaker, Totem Automobili aims to pass Europe’s stringent Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) tests.
The interior is fitted with carbon fibre racing seats to meet the client’s request for an immersive driving experience, while the centre tunnel, dashboard and other internal supports are made of structural carbon fibre, with specific areas reinforced with Kevlar.
Currently, GT Super chassis No. 12 is undergoing Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) testing at Viranno. IVA testing is a homologation process conducted on vehicles that do not meet standard registration requirements or are imported from outside the European Union (EU). The IVA test rigorously checks whether the vehicle meets the safety, environmental, and structural standards necessary for legal driving in Europe.
With this important step completed, Totem Automobili’s vehicles will be legal to drive in Europe and around the world. Now, unusually for a small, independent automaker, Totem Automobili is about to undergo the formal homologation process, which is very costly.
Totem Automobili’s restomods are manufactured through a highly streamlined supply chain, minimizing environmental impact and meeting Europe’s most stringent safety requirements. With the completion of their 12th GT Super, the brand aims to take the next step by promoting the “Made in Italy” design in 2025.
