Could restoring classic cars be the future of sustainable, high-performance vehicles? Goran Turkic certainly thinks so.

Goran Turkic is the founder and CEO of Tedson Motors, a company that specialises in high-end restomods. With a background that spans real estate, energy, and automotive, Goran combines a wealth of experience with a deep passion for car design and innovation. His journey took him from a childhood fascination with cars to founding Tedson Motors, where he now focuses on creating advanced, air-cooled hybrids (and non-hybrid), with a particular love for vintage Porsche models.

In this conversation, Goran and I delve into topics like the appeal of classic car restoration, the challenges of building the first air-cooled hybrid, and the future of automotive technology, including e-fuels and hydrogen combustion engines. He also shares insights into what sets supercars apart, the importance of maintaining big engines, and how customisation allows enthusiasts to create truly unique vehicles.
