- Peak Analogue® Experience

Evoluto® celebrates mechanical connection. The 355 by Evoluto® is a ground-up re-engineering of a 1990s icon, executed with manufacturer-level discipline to deliver Peak Analogue® – our ethos for high-fidelity feel.

Developed by DRVN Advanced Engineering and designed in collaboration with CALLUM, it preserves the car’s essential beauty while elevating every interaction through materials, method and measurement.

Structure is renewed, responses are clarified, and every component is considered for integrity, serviceability and longevity.

- Specifications

The base vehicle is prepared to exemplary body-in-white condition in dedicated fixtures and measured to manufacturer-grade tolerances. Lightweight composite reinforcement is then fused into the architecture at defined nodes to optimise load paths, and every exterior closure is re-engineered in carbon fibre to reduce weight by 100kg and sharpen response. A bespoke tubular rear structure adds precision and serviceability.

Outcomes are empirical and redefine the dynamic experience: torsional stiffness is increased by 23%, and overall body efficiency by 13%. Processes, traceability and validation mirror manufacturer practice; service access is designed in from first principles. The result is a platform that communicates with clarity and delivers a Peak Analogue driving experience with modern integrity.

Structural truth unlocks feel. Carbon-fused reinforcement fortifies critical hard points and minimises flex; full-carbon exterior closures reduce mass and sharpen response; a new tubular engine carrier and rear subframe add precision and serviceability.

On the road, the car is calmer in the quick things and more articulate in the small ones; the steering tells the truth, the structure breathes correctly, and the driver relaxes into the information flow.

Evoluto’s naturally aspirated 3.5-litre V8 is rebuilt and re-engineered with over 200 newly engineered components and MoTeC M150 architecture to deliver up to 480 PS with linear response and a voice of rare clarity.

Flow is liberated through CNC-ported heads and bespoke camshafts; a stainless-steel exhaust manages pulse timing and thermal performance while preserving timbre. Calibration focuses on precision at small openings, clean progression through the mid-range and a free, confident sweep to the top of the rev band.

The chassis is engineered for immediacy without nervousness and stability without weight. Track widths are increased to settle the car on its contact patches and to open a broader window of balance: +77 mm at the front and +66 mm at the rear.* Suspension componentry is newly engineered – upper and lower arms, uprights, bearings and links – to deliver precise kinematics and repeatable geometry under load.

Steering is geared for intent at the hands, 2.0 turns lock-to-lock, with weighting that remains natural and truthful around centre. Damping is co-developed with R53 Suspension as a bespoke three-way adjustable system with external reservoirs, conceived in simulation and proven across road and circuit.‡ The result is a car that reads the surface cleanly and returns information with composure and clarity.

Confidence is designed into the system. Stopping power is provided is by Brembo GT hardware – six-piston front with 355×32 mm slotted discs, fourpiston rear with 345×28 mm – paired with performance lines and fluids for a consistent pedal and assured thermal capacity. CCM-R is available where a carbonceramic solution is preferred.

Wheels are Evoluto forged designs in 19 inches, with multi-piece forged and magnesium programmes offered; billet centres and matched valve hardware are standard.

Tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, 235/35 R19 front and 305/30 R19 rear, chosen for progressive balance and clear messaging at the limit. The result is steering that stays readable under load and a chassis that remains poised when asked to shed speed with intent.

Jewellery is milled and knurled to a quiet sheen; switches and toggles move with a decisive, repeatable action. Instrument graphics are refined for legibility and balance; illumination is crisp without glare. In collaboration with CALLUM and the DRVN design team, the cabin is resolved to feel inevitable rather than embellished – calm at first glance, deeply considered at the hundredth.
