  • Mazzanti Evantra

    From the creator of the V-12 powered Vulca S and the deliciously retro Antas V8 GT comes a brand new supercar, the Evantra. The company behind the car is Mazzanti, an Italian coachbuilder formerly known as Faralli and Mazzanti, whose CEO and founder Luca Mazzanti explains in the video above how the project was born. We first caught wind of the Evantra in early 2011, back when it was called the Mugello. At the time it was touted as being the first sports car to hail from Mazzanti with a mid-engine layout.

MUST SEE: Watch This 1,029-Horsepower Honda Odyssey Minivan Roast Its Tires Maybe they're right.
