Some say modding a supercar like the McLaren Senna is sacrilege. This Senna belongs to Daily Drive Exotics and it’s one of a handful of modded supercars in their garage. I personally like it.
What I like more however is the Evoluto Ferrari 355 Restomod. Upon its debut in 1994, the Ferrari F355 was a cutting-edge sports car, and Evoluto Automobili can help you bring the classic Prancing Horse up to modern standards with a restomod treatment that includes a body redesigned by the great Ian Callum.
The conversion process includes stripping the car down to the bare chassis. The company then installs carbon-fiber bracing to improve rigidity, then the new Ian Callum designed body panels are installed. The Ferrari 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V-8 receives over 200 revised parts to increase the output to 420 hp. These mods include ported cylinder heads, larger intake valves, new camshaft, solid lifters, and a coil-on-plug ignition system. The new V-8 can rev to 8500 rpm, which should sound like music to a car guy’s ear.
Evoluto plans a limited run of 55 units for its special 355. Each car will be bespoke and tailored to the customer’s needs and wants. The price of all this is £695,000 (about $885,000 USD at the current exchange rate) plus the cost of the Ferrari 355. That’s actually quite the bargain when you consider what a company like Singer charges to restomod a Porsche 911.
