MAZZANTI EVANTRA
Evantra V8 was not born to please everyone,
instead to be herself and to generate emotions with her character and
exclusivity.
Evantra V8 is the exclusive
"tailor-made" supercar of Mazzanti automobili produced only in
limited series of 5 examples per year, each of them individually personalized.
As the brand tradition, its name comes from the
ancient etruscan language and represents an object unique, eternal and
exclusive, infact Evantra was also the name of the Godess of immortality for
the etruscan people.
The design of the Evantra was created by Luca
Mazzanti, with the technical support of Zsolt Tarnok (Mazzanti automobili chief
designer), taking inspiration from the movements of the Tuscan hills with the
concept of perfect equilibrium of classical and modern.
The object was to conciliate elements difficult
to harmonize to each other: a personal concept that is absolutely out of todays
market trends, a really precise and tipically italian stylistical identity and
a powertrain with " absolute" performance are perfectly united in
forms and function.
The smooth surfaces, the classicaly shaped
fenderlines come from the traditional classic cars which influenced most the
past creations. For the styling of the Evantra a modern and a bit more
aggressive appearance was desired, so in the details more modern solutions were
used. Such parts are the shape of the lights with the modern LED lights, and
the precise and neat outlines and connections of the air inlets and outlets
around the car. These virtually different concepts have been merged together in
harmony to create this unique supercar, Evantra.
The tailor-made interior of the client is covered
with all-natural leather prepared with special aniline leather treatment. The
incredible soft touch of the leather is achieved thanks to a collaboration with
FB1913 and Luxpel, leaders of the fashion/luxury sector. Every aspect of
personalization is possible with the infinite options of special material,
including exotic leather and precious materials. The center console is equipped
with a dash and data acquisition system from AIM and a Headunit (NAVI/CD/MP3)
from BOSCH as first equipment. The engine starter button is placed onto the
roof panel in "Mazzanti" style as in the “sister car" ANTAS. On
the lower part of the console the modality selector is placed with different
maps for the engine/gearbox, "Strada - Street" and "Corsa -
Race". On the AIM steering wheel a
display shows the actual gear and other infos, while behind the paddles
are placed.
The Evantra's "mechanical heart" is an
aluminium V8, naturally aspirated 7.0 L. which is capable of developing 751 Hp @ 7500 rpm and 860 Nm @ 5000 rpm. The
engine has a compression ratio of 11:1, a dry sump lubrification system, and
valves, connecting rods in titanium.
The performance of the Evantra V8 equipped with a
6-speed sequential gearbox arrives up to the maximum velocity of over 360 Km/h
with an acceleration of 0-100 in 3 seconds.
The aerodynamic development process was realized
in partnership with a company with notable experience in F1 and Le mans.
Automac Engineering, leader company of robotyzed
systems has developed a special version of its robotized gearshift system
"AMT" for Mazzanti.
The power of the Evantra V8 is transferred onto
the tarmac thanks to special high performance tyres from Pirelli 255/30 R20
front and 325/25 R20 rear, mounted on special 20" OZ alloy wheels. The braking system comes from Brembo, formed
by 380mm discs with 6 piston calipers in the front and 360mm discs with 4
piston caliper is the back (carbon-ceramic system is optional).
