The design of the Evantra was created by Luca Mazzanti and Zsolt Tarnok as Mazzanti automobili chief designer, with the idea of achieveng a perfect equilibrium of classic car and modern design trends.
The smooth surfaces and classically shaped fenderlines come from the traditional classic cars which influenced most the past creations. To add a bit of modern times, creators decided to stylize details: the shape of the lights with using LED lights, connections of the air inlets, and outlets around the car. These virtually different concepts have been merged together to create a unique blend of timeless and new.
Evantra V8 comes in two different options: Pro-Body and One-Body. Pro-Body is is made of carbon fiber composite materials, while One-Body is entirely hand crafted. It has an aluminium body, personalized by the client. With tat option the client can have a project dedicated exclusively to the single vehicle, creating a unique sport car. The steel chassis is reinforced with chrome-molibden rollcage under the roof.
The tailor-made interior is covered with natural leather prepared with special aniline leather treatment. The central console features a dash and data acquisition system from AIM and a Headunit (NAVI/CD/MP3) from Bosch. The Tricolore engine start button is placed on the roof panel in Mazzanti style as in the sister car Antas. On the lower part of the console the mode selector is placed with different maps for the engine: "Strada - Street" and "Corsa – Race".
The Evantra's heart is an aluminium V8 7.0-liter engine engine. It delivers 701 Hp at 6600 rpm and 848 Nm at 4500 rpm.

No surprises here because the aerodynamic was realized in partnership with Ysim, a company with experience in Formula 1.
The power of the Evantra's engine is transferred to the road thanks to special high performance tires from Continental 255/30 R20 front and 305/25 R20 rear, mounted on special 20" OZ alloy wheels. The braking system comes from Brembo, formed by 380mm discs with six piston calipers in the front and 360mm discs with 4 piston caliper is the back. ■
