You’ll have heard by now that this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed has been postponed for, well, obvious reasons. No doubt this also means many of the cars due to be revealed at the event have also been delayed. We really hope this isn’t one of them...
May we present Totem Automobili’s Alfa Romeo Giulia GT. Well, a drawing of it. Set to be revealed at 2020’s now-postponed FoS, it’s a heavily modified Alfa GT Junior with a full carbon body, a 50.4kWh battery pack (giving around 322km of range), and a completely redone interior.
Indeed, while this electric vehicle requires a donor GT Junior, much of the old car is simply thrown away. Only 10% of the chassis is retained, with the remainder built up in aluminum to give the strength required to handle 518hp and 939Nm. Of course, there’s modern suspension and brakes, too, plus a roll bar we’re promised is neatly integrated into the new tech-heavy cabin.
The price will no doubt be exceptionally high, especially given that Totem Automobili isn’t simply slotting an electric drivetrain into an old car, but tearing the whole thing apart and fundamentally changing its structure. Intrigued? We certainly are.
