The Rebirth of an Icon
In my youth, among my friends who vibrated with the automotive universe, I confess that I was the only one (incomprehensibly in their eyes) who felt particularly indifferent towards Ferrari. None of their models, not even the legendary F40, stirred much enthusiasm within me. However, one day everything changed, the Italian brand presented the F355. The impact was immediate—what an incredibly beautiful car! To the point that, even today (and again, incomprehensibly to those close to me), I consider it the most beautiful in Ferrari's history.
When I learned of Evoluto Automobili's "audacity" in reinterpreting this classic, I felt compelled to verify the result. If the surprise was positive, I would make a point of presenting it here. The fruit of this audacious undertaking is the 355 by Evoluto®, a reinterpretation of the iconic Ferrari 355 that far surpasses the mere idea of "Restomod," elevating itself to the category of a masterpiece of engineering and automotive design.
Peak Analogue: The Essence of Pure Driving Experience
In an era dominated by automotive digitalization, Evoluto Automobili proposes a return to the essence of driving with the Peak Analogue® program – forget the deluge of electronic assistants. The 355 by Evoluto® celebrates the analogue driving experience in its purest state.
The Peak Analogue® philosophy prioritizes the direct interaction between the driver and the machine. The focus is on the immediate response of the engine, the precision of the steering, and the pure emotion of mastering a powerful and reactive machine.
A 420hp Roar
At the heart of the 355 by Evoluto® beats the original naturally aspirated V8 engine, carefully modified to deliver 420 hp and a visceral roar that peaks at 8,500 rpm. More than 200 components have been redesigned or replaced, resulting in a significant increase in power, response, and reliability. The new engine management and custom calibration promise smooth and precise power delivery, with an explosive response to the accelerator.
Design and Engineering
The collaboration between DRVN Advanced Engineering and renowned designer Ian Callum has resulted in a stunning aesthetic. The new carbon fiber bodywork not only reduces weight but also improves aerodynamics and structural rigidity.
The completely redesigned interior offers a luxurious and personalized environment, providing customers with endless customization possibilities to create a truly unique example.
A Symphony of Precision
An innovative carbon fusion process increases the torsional rigidity of the chassis by 23%, minimizing flex and optimizing driving dynamics. The result is increased steering precision, a more immediate response, and better control in curves. The suspension has been optimized to provide agility and control, while the high-performance Brembo braking system (with carbon-ceramic disc option) plus the choice of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires mounted on 19-inch forged wheels promise an intensified feeling of unity between the driver and the car.
