The 2024 355 by Evoluto is a reimagined version of the iconic 1990s Ferrari F355, brought to life by Evoluto Automobili. This restomod, or as Evoluto prefers to call it, "remastered" car, aims to blend the best of classic analog driving experiences with modern engineering. Here’s what makes it stand out:
Key Features:
Engine and Performance: The original 3.5-liter V8 engine has been upgraded with new engine management, producing 420 horsepower, with an optional upgrade to 500 horsepower. The engine can rev up to 8,500 rpm, promising a thrilling driving experience.
Design: Renowned designer Ian Callum has crafted a new carbon-fiber body for the 355 by Evoluto. The car retains the F355’s timeless beauty but adds a more aggressive and modern edge.
Interior: The interior is entirely new, combining luxury and functionality with a nod to the original design.
Production: Limited to just 55 units, with half already spoken for, each car undergoes about 4,000 hours of meticulous build time.
Technical Enhancements:
Chassis and Body: Each car’s chassis is stripped and reinforced with carbon, making it 23% stiffer than the original. This increased rigidity allows for the enhanced power output.
Engineering: The team used advanced techniques like CFD testing and CNC machining to optimize the engine, enhancing airflow and performance with precision.
Suspension: Still under development, the suspension will be tailored for real-world driving, with a focus on UK roads, known for their challenging conditions.
Philosophy and Appeal:
Evoluto’s technical boss, Amjad Ali, emphasizes the importance of enjoying the car without needing a racetrack. The goal is to bring back the fun of driving at any speed, something modern supercars often miss. This “remastered” F355 combines the quirks and charm of the original with cutting-edge technology and engineering.
Priced from £690,000, the 355 by Evoluto offers more than just a nostalgic ride; it’s a carefully crafted piece of automotive art designed for true enthusiasts.
