Mazzanti Evantra hypercar spawns an ‘affordable’ $0.8M version

Mazzanti Automobili has revealed all specs and parameters of its new Evantra Pura, a more wallet-friendly variant of the original Evantra coupe from eight years ago despite having more power and less weight.

The exterior design stays the same, but improved chassis made from chrome-molybdenum alloy and high-tensile steels lets the supercar weigh in at under 1.3 metric tons now (2,850 lbs).

The per-wheel suspension with McPherson struts has been made adjustable, and the brake mechanisms benefit from Brembo components. OZ Racing wheels sized 19” front and 20” rear fill out the arches.

Inside, the largest addition comes in the form of a console-mounted infotainment display. Another screen can be found integrated into the wheel column.

Lift the hood to discover the old seven-liter naturally aspirated V8 gone, replaced with an efficient 6.2-liter Chevy Corvette V8 rated up to 760 PS (750 hp / 560 kW) and 910 Nm (671 lb-ft) of torque. The new Evantra Pura needs only 2.9 seconds to go 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) and maxes out at 360 km/h (223.7 mph).

Demanding customers may opt for a more upmarket spec, the highest being Millecavali R. This one starts from $1.2 million USD before options and comes equipped with a 7.2-liter engine rated at 1,000 PS (986 hp / 735 kW).
