Range Rover restomod revealed
Twisted has reimagined the original Range Rover Classic as a bespoke restomod — blending heritage Land Rover cues with modern customization and craft. Wallpaper* ran the feature, spotlighting the car as an object that crosses automotive restoration and high‑end design (wallpaper.com).
Twisted will limit TRRC production to just 12 hand-built examples per year, and reports say all 2026 build slots are already accounted for. (retrorides.com.au) The TRRC uses a 6.2‑litre Chevrolet LT1 V8 paired with an eight‑speed automatic transmission, with Octane reporting a 500bhp output for the installation. (octane-magazine.com) Hagerty’s coverage cites a closely aligned figure of 507 horsepower for the LT1 crate motor as installed in the Twisted build. (hagerty.com) Each car is reconstructed from a 1990–1992 donor Range Rover Classic and fitted with wholly new, hammer‑formed aluminium exterior panels made on bespoke tooling, with Twisted emphasising “obsessive panel tolerances.” (retrorides.com.au) Design details intentionally splice Range Rover eras—examples include a 1970s‑style front bumper, 1990s‑inspired grille and headlight surrounds, and rolled arches to house larger wheels. (autotrader.co.nz) Twisted founder Charles Fawcett framed the TRRC as a nostalgia‑driven project inspired by his father’s 1980s two‑door Range Rover, and Twisted hosts a dedicated RRC page plus a downloadable spec PDF on its site for commission enquiries.
