Italian Firm Has Designs to Build an Off Roading Mustang Restomod

BorromeodeSilva's Restomod Expertise

Carlo Borromeo, the creative mind behind BorromeodeSilva, leads a team with a passion for automotive design and restoration. With a portfolio boasting creations like the Automobili Amos Futurista and the Nardone 928, the studio is renowned for its ability to reimagine iconic vehicles. Now, they've turned their focus onto reimagining the original Mustang as a modernized rally-style off-roader.

A Fusion of Styles and Technologies

The STL-1 project begins with a 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback, meticulously transformed to marry American muscle with Italian flair. Stripping away the roof, BorromeodeSilva integrates a custom-built tubular cage, creating a striking aesthetic that blends nostalgia with modernity.

Off-Road Performance Upgrades

To tackle rugged terrains, the STL-1 undergoes significant enhancements. Its ground clearance is elevated, complemented by skid plates and underbody protection for added durability. Upgraded features include independent suspension, high-performance coil-overs, and an advanced braking system, ensuring optimal performance in diverse conditions.

Power and Performance

At the heart of the STL-1 lies a potent 5.0-liter Road Runner V8 engine sourced from the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302. With 444 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, this powerhouse delivers exhilarating performance both on and off the road. Paired with a new limited-slip differential and high-performance exhaust, the STL-1 promises an unforgettable driving experience.

Rally-Inspired Interior

Inside, the cabin of the STL-1 reflects a blend of vintage racing aesthetics and modern comfort. Featuring a minimalist design with retro-themed digital instrumentation and aircraft-style toggle switches, the interior exudes a sense of purpose and sophistication. Despite its racing-inspired layout, the STL-1 accommodates four passengers comfortably, ensuring an enjoyable journey for all.

Limited Availability?

While initially intended for BorromeodeSilva's private collection, the studio is open to producing additional units upon request. With established partnerships in the United States and Europe, prospective buyers can expect a bespoke experience tailored to their preferences. While pricing remains undisclosed, the craftsmanship and technological advancements incorporated into the STL-1 ensure that it represents a significant investment for enthusiasts seeking unparalleled performance and truly unique style.
