Meet the 701-hp Mazzanti Evantra

The latest company from the Italian region known to have made a wonderful entry into the world of Automobiles, is an upstart company known as Mazzanti. The creator of such a beautiful vehicle, Luca Mazzanti had earlier mentioned it, this car will be a limited edition, with just five examples of this one will be built.

On the outside it sported an aluminum or carbon fiber bodywork, while under the hood lies the real power, with a 7.0-liter V8 with 701HP and 625 lb-ft (846 Nm) of torque that is good enough for a 0-62 mph sprint (0-100 km/h) in time of 3.2 seconds. The most notable change include, the rear of the vehicle, whereas the chassis feature two new chrome molibden rollcages. Power is sent to the rear wheels, via a robotized paddle shift gearbox developed by transmission company Sila especially for the Evantra and the wheels are sourced from OZ, measure 20 inches in diameter and are wrapped in Continental 255/30 and 304/25 tired front and rear respectively. Brakes are from Brembo with 380 mm discs with 6-piston calipers up front and 360 mm discs with 4-piston calipers at the rear, while carbon-ceramic discs are an option.

Inside one gets to see the instrument cluster, with a racing-spec data acquisition system based on the center console. One can tailor the cabin, according to his/her choice. As for infotainment, it includes, audio and navigation, while on the lower part of the center console there’s a round selector through which the driver can shuffle between the “Strada” or “Corsa” modes for the engine and gearbox settings.

“I am really proud to present the Evantra V8”, said Mazzanti. “With her, an enormous work is finished, one which mainly focused on conciliating elements difficult to harmonize to each other: a personal concept that is absolutely out of today’s market trends, a really precise and typically Italian stylistic identity and a powertrain with “absolute” performance are perfectly united in forms and function. The Evantra V8 was not born to please everyone, instead to be herself and to generate emotions with her character and exclusivity”.

Watch out for more recent updates, at this place.
