F&M Evantra
F&M Evantra: Divine
The Italian design studio Faralli & Mazzanti have created a superb super sports car they call the Evantra. The plan is to build five units annually. (Florian Maier , 23.01.2012)
The best of both worlds
The name of the auto is significant and reveals something of the Italian car maker’s high performance ambitions… the Evantra is named after the Etruscan Goddess of immortality.

- The car has rear-hinged suicide doors… a real eye-catcher.
The styling of the low-slung Italian speedster is with its flat silhouette certainly worthy of the annals of supersport design… It has the typical wedge shape, a short rear end and a very long bonnet. There are prominent LED lighting clusters fore and aft which add a lot to the overall aggressive impression. And, of course, the car has rear-hinged suicide doors… a real eye-catcher. The final result is certainly the fulfilment of the stated goal of F&M… “…it the perfect equilibrium of classic and modern sportscars“.

- …what a pity that only five Evantras will be built annually.
Pick your destiny
The mid-motored two-seater can be ordered with a carosserie entirely fabricated in carbon composite materials or with a body completely made of aluminium. In either case the Evantra will have a maximum weight of just 1,200 kilos. In respect of the motorization there are also alternatives… the 3.5 litre six-cylinder engine can be provided as a naturally aspirated motor delivering 409 horsepower or with twin-turbo potency and an output of a huge 611 horsepower. In this variant the Evantra rushes to a hundred kilometres an hour in a mere 3.7 seconds. No information has been released with regard to the price of the car nor to the top speed which can be reached… but it can be assumed that Lamborghini and Ferrari watching very closely.
