The ultimate restomod test: Kimera vs Cyan vs Totem vs Amos
Four gorgeous recreations go head to head, and the winner is...
Want fizzy, granular steering? You’ve got it. Two Lancias, an Alfa Romeo – or is it? – and a Volvo. They’re big on mechanical rattle and hum, rather less interested in lane assist. We live in a secular world but these are cars as the good Lord surely intended.
Time to enter a parallel dimension then, as we pit the Automobili Amos Integrale Futurista, Volvo P1800 Cyan GT, Kimera Evo37 and Totem GT Electric against each other. Four supermodels gathered together in Italy in a celebration of the past. Take in the stats below, and find out what they're like in our exclusive video.
