Klassiker auf nem Kringel.

Im 2. Video ist auch der 184T ganz gut zu sehen.

Schöne Geschichte :

With Michigan frozen over, we escaped to Nashville to visit our friend Matt Kwiek—Mercedes restomod expert, shop owner, and the man behind the MARS name. At Kwiek Classics, Matt has made a name for himself by seamlessly blending modern Mercedes drivetrains with vintage chassis, creating some of the cleanest and most capable restomods out there.

But in a shop filled with high-powered V8 Mercedes builds, one car stands apart: a well-worn yet eager-to-run 1971 Alfa Romeo Berlina 1750. Originally picked up as a placeholder for his dream Alfa GTV, the Berlina quickly proved its worth, winning Matt over with its charm, capability, and sheer drivability. After holding its own at the 2021 Round Headlamp Rally, it earned a permanent spot in his garage—because sometimes, the car you settle for becomes the one you never want to let go.

Join us as we tour Matt’s shop, dive into his approach to Mercedes restomods, and take the Berlina for a spin to see why it refuses to be just a placeholder.

Alfa 75, Heckantrieb, kein ESP, kein ASR und so ein Quatsch, einmal Turbo, einmal Busso. Was will man mehr ? …. beide in rosso.

Zitat von Conni

Sehr schön. Busso für mich ganz klar. Da passt auch Yves Loubet und GEMA Racing sehr gut dazu:

Yves, ja klar

Das Video hab ich schon 100 Mal gesehen und ich werd es bestimmt noch 100 Mal sehen.

Sein Sohn fährt übrigens auch Rally. Hab beide mal im Service Park getroffen.

In der Zwischenzeit ist auch sein GTV aus dem Video bei mir eingezogen, leider nur in 1:43.

Totem Automobili GT Super: a twin-turbo V-6 670-HP Alfa Romeo

Spannende Einblicke hinter die Kulissen von Totem.

Zitat

In this new episode of The Driver’s Seat, Henry Catchpole gets behind the wheel of the incredible Totem Automobili GT Super. At first glance you might think this is just an Alfa Romeo Giulia GT restomod - a refresh and update of the ’60s original. But with a carbonfibre chassis, carbonfibre bodywork and a unique twin-turbo V6 engine form Italtecnica, this is basically a brand new car. In Porsche 911 terms, think Ruf rather than Singer.
And just as fascinating as the car, is the person behind it; Riccardo Quaggio. The young, 29 year-old designer has built the company from the ground up, starting with very little money and a warehouse given to him by his Grandfather. He started in 2018 and it is remarkable to see how far he has come. He has aspirations of Totem Automobili one day being talked about in the same breath as the likes of Pagani, and on the evidence of the GT Super we wouldn’t bet against it.
To really put the car through its paces, we went a couple of hours north of the factory in the Veneto region of Italy up onto the beautiful Vezzena pass. With a fabulous mix of fast, flowing bends and tight, twisty corners it was the perfect setting. The car’s manual gearbox and 670bhp going to the rear wheels mean that the driver is kept very busy, but the R53 dampers and double wishbone suspension are on your side.
