The widening world of restomods just got more interesting. The word is a pastiche of “restoration” and “modification,” where an individual or more likely an entity takes an old car and not only fixes the obvious stuff, but aims to improve the very idea of the vehicle itself. Keep the vibe, toss what’s bad, and improve the reality.

Singer takes a Porsche 964 (a 911 produced between 1986 and ’93) and stiffens it, replaces the body panels to make it look like an OG 911, bolts in a better engine, reworks the suspension, and goes bonkers on the drool-worthy interiors. Finally, the company charges eager customers around a million bucks, and still, there’s a years-long waiting list—and that’s just for the base model. Indeed, a cottage industry has sprung up trying to replicate Singer’s unlikely yet continued success, arguably leading to reimagined 911 fatigue among car enthusiasts. That’s why we were doubly intrigued by newer company Evoluto and its just-launched first product, known as the 355 by Evoluto.
