The restomod craze is in full swing right now, but few look quite as striking as the 355 by Evoluto. Among a crowded space, this reworked Ferrari stands out as one of the most tastefully-done, likely thanks to the ethos behind it.
Evoluto Automobili, a division of the London-based DRVN Automotive Group, bills its 355 with the tagline 'Peak Analogue', and it even has the registered trademark for that catchphrase to boot.
The interior and exterior redesign was handled by former Jaguar designer Ian Callum and his team at Callum Designs, with the subtle adjustments to the Ferrari's original lines – and other key design features such as the wheels – all tastefully done.

Its new body panels are made of carbon fibre, helping keep its weight close to 1250kg, while the incorporation of carbon bracing and fusing to its chassis has increased torsional rigidity by 23 percent.
The original 3.5-litre naturally aspirated Ferrari V8 still features behind the cockpit, with power sitting at 420hp (313kW) for this standard configuration. However, customers are given the option of a hotted-up 500hp (373kW) version which is enlarged to 3.9 litres.

55 examples of the 355 by Evoluto are poised to be built, with prices starting at £690,000 (A$1.35 million). With Ferrari having produced almost 12,000 examples of the F355, there are more than enough going around for these ones to be "remastered", as the brand prefers to describe it.
The 355 by Evoluto isn't the only reworked '90s Ferrari to be revealed as of late, with Touring Superleggera unveiling its take on the 550 Maranello, the Veloce12, at Monterey Car Week in August.
