The 2013 Mazzanti Evantra V8

 

An Improvement of the Mazzanti Evantra V6

 

 

 

     Have you ever heard of an Italian automaker called Faralli and Mazzanti. If so don't feel bad because I haven't heard of them either until recently. The car I'll be talking about is equally loved and hated Mazzanti Evantra V8.

     The Mazzanti Evantra V8 is a mid-rear engine rear-wheel drive supercar equipped with a naturally aspirated V8 that delivers 701 hp @ 6,600 RPM. Torque @ RPM is 625. Top speed of the Evantra V8 is 217 mph. Naught to sixty takes 3.2 seconds. The engine is coupled to a six-speed sequential gearbox.

     The Evantra V8 comes in two versions. The first version is called PRO-BODY which is made of carbon fiber composite materials. The second version is called ONE-BODY which is made in aluminum and is completely hand-crafted. Even more interesting is that the ONE-BODY choice can be customized to the buyer's tastes.

     Unlike the V6 version of the Evantra, the V8 is said to be more aggressive, have a new rear wing, and the series of inserts made of either carbon fiber or aluminum. The wheels are made from OZ alloy, and the tires are from Continental. The Evantra V8 uses Brembo brakes. Two driving modes exist in the Evantra V8; Strada-Street and Corsa-Race.  

     Only five Evantra V8s will be made per year. The price of the Evantra V8 hasn't been announced by Faralli and Mazzanti yet. Bummer.
