Totem Automobili has spent the past few years carving out a niche in the rarefied world of restomods, reimagining classic Alfa Romeo coupes with obsessive attention to detail and a distinctly Italian flair. Now, the boutique builder is closing this chapter of its story—but not without a grand finale. Meet the GT Super SP (Sport Prototipo), a run of just ten cars that serves as both a tribute and a mic drop.
The very first prototype, wearing the badge “n.00,” broke cover at Monterey Car Week. If the standard Totem GT Super was a stunner, the SP is a full-blown showstopper—an Alfa Romeo that’s been sharpened, widened, and polished into something bordering on myth.
Wider, Meaner, and All Carbon
Compared with the GT Super, the SP grows by 130 mm in width, its stretched wheel arches sculpted in carbon fiber. The bodywork? Every last panel is woven from the same lightweight material, cloaked in a deep burgundy finish and highlighted with bronze accents around the headlights, grille, mirrors, wheels, even the wipers. It’s a subtle nod to vintage jewelry, giving the coupe a sense of timeless elegance beneath all that aggression.
The rear end, once home to dual exhaust tips, is now clean thanks to a collaboration with German exhaust specialist Capristo. The pipes have been relocated to the sides, race-car style, freeing up space for a wild new carbon diffuser. The overall effect: less resto, more prototype racer.
Under the Skin: Serious Engineering
Totem didn’t stop at styling tweaks. The SP sits on redesigned subframes and benefits from reworked suspension geometry. A fully electronically adjustable suspension from Italian firm ORAM adds modern ride sophistication to the classic Alfa silhouette.
And then there’s the heart of the beast. Nestled up front is a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6, built by Italtecnica. With individual throttle bodies and a mix of direct and indirect fuel injection, the engine pumps out a staggering 740 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque. Better still, power routes through a six-speed manual gearbox—a unicorn pairing in today’s supercar landscape. Totem wants drivers to work for the speed, and that’s a very good thing.
Inside: Bronze and Blue Drama
The cabin balances retro charm with motorsport edge. There’s a carbon-fiber transmission tunnel, new switches tucked beneath the shifter, and bronze trim lacing across the dash and gauge bezels. A custom steering wheel with a boost control function, lightweight carbon seats, and a splash of blue Alcantara tie the whole thing together. It feels bespoke without being overdesigned—pure Totem.
With only ten examples destined for production, the GT Super SP isn’t just another pretty face at Monterey—it’s Totem Automobili’s curtain call for its Alfa-based restomods. By turning a beloved Italian coupe into something equal parts sculpture and track weapon, Totem has cemented its reputation in the restomod pantheon.
As goodbyes go, the SP might be the loudest, most beautiful sendoff we’ve seen in years.
