28yr Old Redefines Quality, Building Restomod Alfa Romeos: Totem Automobili | Capturing Car Culture

With the build quality of cars and trucks in today’s age, including custom builds, the market is ripe for a takeover. If you have the drive and knowledge, you can make a splash in the custom car world. Much like Riccardo Quaggio, the 28-year-old CEO of Totem Automobili, which is soon to become the new standard for Italian restomods. Riccardo was a young designer at Alfa Romeo and then decided he wanted to do things his own way and set a new standard. So, he took his passion for Alfa’s and ramped up the build quality with full carbon fiber tubs, CNC’d aluminum for almost every fixture, 3D printed components covered in rich Italian leather, all the way down to knurled aluminum knobs and a custom gauge cluster built by Riccardo himself. Their flagship build, the GT Super, is 100% custom and sits about 10% larger than the original Alfa GTs, comprised solely of Carbon Fiber and Aluminum. The only two original parts of the GT are the VIN plate and trunk release handle. Follow along as Larry Chen shows y
