After « Euforia »and « Brado Coastline », a new Totem GT Super has just hit the road. Named «Desideria,» this custom-built car chose a particularly fitting setting for one of its first public appearances: the 2026 Tutto Bene Hillclimb. Held on September 9, this Italian event brings together classic cars, restomods, race cars, and supercars under a simple rule: no stopwatches, just cars built to drive. And on the nine-kilometer stretch of the Mottarone road, with nearly 800 meters of elevation gain, the new GT Super certainly didn’t sit still.
A «Desideria» in all shades of green and bronze
Like every GT Super from the customization program of Totem Automobili, «Desideria» has its own distinct identity. The images reveal a particularly elegant design, featuring a metallic green body whose hues shift dramatically with the light.
The silhouette remains instantly recognizable. Totem draws on the proportions of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT designed by Bertone in the 1960s, but radically transforms them with a modern carbon-fiber body and structure. The widely flared fenders, the four circular headlights, and the triangular grille evoke Alfa Romeo without attempting to faithfully replicate an old Giulia.
«Desideria» pairs its green paint with bronze-accented wheels. At the rear, the tiny round taillights with their ring-shaped light signatures frame a particularly sleek rear end, while the two exhaust tips serve as a reminder that this GT is anything but a mere show car.
A spectacular interior
The interior stands in stark contrast to the exterior. Totem has chosen an interior in cognac and orange tones, paired with dark accents and numerous bronze-colored metal trim pieces.
The circular instrument cluster, the almost sculptural air vents, and the three-spoke perforated steering wheel evoke the atmosphere of the 1960s. But the detail that immediately catches the eye is the six-speed manual transmission shifter, mounted on a spectacular metal grille and topped with a transparent shift knob with green accents.
Even the least noticeable details have been carefully crafted: machined controls, surface patterns, topstitching, and exposed mechanical components. This approach was already seen in previous GT Super models, but with a combination of materials and colors unique to «Desideria.».
Behind the 1960s-style design, 640 HP
Beneath this retro bodywork lies the same powertrain already used in the latest Super GT models. The «Gloria» engine, developed with Italtecnica, is a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 that delivers 640 HP and 655 Nm. All that power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.
With its carbon-fiber monocoque and a weight of approximately 1,180 kg, the GT Super can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds. It offers the performance of a modern supercar in a vehicle whose design seems to span more than sixty years.
The Tutto Bene Hillclimb was therefore probably one of the best places to showcase «Desideria.» Whereas a traditional competition would have left it stationary on a lawn, Totem chose instead to have it climb up toward Mottarone. A rather compelling way to hand over a 640 ch car to its owner.
