The British custom motorcar designer Evanta Motor Company has unveiled its first production model. It is a two-seater open top speedster, which was inspired by the design language and trend of the 1950s and specifically by the motorsport cars. It has the same sleek and sweeping curves as well as low profile typical for the 50s sports vehicles, and in particular – those who had Anglo-Italian parentage.The formal reveal of the model took place on 12th of September at Goodwood Revival, with members of the Evanta Barchetta production team in attendance.  Each Barchetta is designed and built in Britain. In addition, it was hand-crafted via traditional coach building methods, comprising a composite body on a tubular frame.Just like its Le Mans winning ancestors, the Barchetta is equipped with a powerful 6.2L engine. The unit produces 450 hp (330 kW), and by taking into account its light frame, this amount of horsepower gives the car exceptional agility.The company has also announced that it will produce both left- and right-hand drive variants. On addition, Barchetta will be offered with either an automatic or manual gearbox. The annual production of the model will be strictly limited to 24 cars per year, with a total production run of only 99 vehicles.

  • Ant-Kahn Shows New Render Of Evanta Barchetta

    Ant_Kahn_Evanta_Barchetta-THUMBAnt-Kahn Evanta Barchetta has just been teased with a new render image and some technical details. The co-founders Afzal Kahn and Ant Anstead have revealed through various social media sites this image, which shows that the forthcoming British sports car will be an open-top two-seater. They have also announced that it will be made from a lightweight composite material. This retro-styled Barchetta will have its official premiere at the Goodwood Revival motor show in September.

    In fact, the vehicle looks like a classic Italian car. However, Ant-Kahn promises to utilize only the most modern prototyping and manufacturing technology at its best UK-based design and production centres. Other exclusive news around the model is that it will be powered by a 6.2-litre unit, which will produce 450 horsepower (330 kW).

    Unfortunately, there are no additional details revealed. Its slim design is undoubtedly retro-inspired. And we sincerely hope to see that when the car comes to life it will keep this staggering red exterior color as well as the classic multi-spoke wheels.

    Kahn’s unique Barchetta will probably boast luxury interior and many innovative technology features. As one can see from this side-view image, the car has a protruding rear wheel arch and comes with heavily vented flanks.
