"The best custom builds do not just remix old ideas. They ask what those ideas would look like if they were born today, with access to current tools, materials, and manufacturing processes. The SP40 Restomod Speedster is that question answered in carbon and billet. It takes the stance and spirit of a 1930s streamliner, that long, low, purposeful shape built for speed rather than comfort, and reimagines it through the lens of modern coachbuilding."
"You can see that precision in the bodywork, which is almost certainly a full carbon fiber monocoque. Look at the rear clamshell; getting a single piece of carbon that large to lay perfectly without waves or distortion is an engineering feat in itself. This is not kit-car fiberglass with a carbon wrap. This is structural, aerospace-grade material science applied to a shape that feels impossibly organic. The entire car probably weighs less than 950 kilograms, which fundamentally changes how it would drive."
The SP40 Restomod Speedster reimagines the 1930s streamliner with modern materials and manufacturing, combining a long, low shape focused on speed with contemporary coachbuilding techniques. The body presents massive, unbroken surfaces and a minimal, driver-focused cockpit that reads like digital design machined to micron tolerances. The car targets collectors who value restraint, craft, and engineered proportions. Structure appears to be a full carbon fiber monocoque with a large rear clamshell, not a wrapped kit body, and uses aerospace-grade materials. Visible suspension components are likely CNC-milled aluminum with geometry optimized by kinematic software, producing a sub-950 kilogram driving platform. Designer: Iconic Auto Sports.
