- Powering Totem’s Farina is a custom-built 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 with 591 hp.
- A shade of metallic brown called Luci del Bosco adorns the body’s carbon panels.
- The cabin sports ivory leather and Alcantara alongside carbon and metallic details.
This is Farina, the latest example of Totem Automobili’s Alfa Romeo-based GT Super. The small Italian marque is building just 40 examples of the GT Super, and if Singer is the king of Porsche 911 restomods, then Totem might just be its equal when it comes to 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
The Italian marque could have easily taken a small capacity, period-correct Alfa Romeo engine and fitted it under the hood – but that would have been too easy. 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.
