When you think of Italian supercars you think of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, Maserati and Pininfarina but on the perifioles of these giants sits some small boutique brands in this case Mazzanti and its new Evanta Pura..
Founded in 2002 by Luca Mazzanti, the Italian artisans gained worldwide recognition with the unveiling of the Evantra presented at the 2013 "Top Marques Monaco Show, a limited edition two seater coupe with classic Italian "made to measure" styling and American power with a naturally aspirated 7.0-liter aluminum Chevrolet LS7 V8 engine that produces 701 hp. In 2016 an upgraded version was revealed with the Evanta 781 and as the name suggests it produces 781hp this was replaced by the Evantra Millecavali the even more extreme Evantra 781 and Millecavali R followed by the insance Mazzanti Evanta Pura. Recently Mazzanti Automobili unveiled a new Evanta Pura hypercar version, during the 2021 Florence Biennale which may though it appears to look the same as the older version with a few tweaks it is significantly lighter and more powerful than its predecessor.
As with all Mazzanti models the Evanta Pura was conceived, designed and produced in Tuscany, the Italian region known the world over for its artistic masterpieces. Named after the goddess of immortality the Evanta Pura once again blends exotic European styling with American muscle, however this time round the brand has replaced the original model's naturally-aspirated 7.0-liter V8 in favor of a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 from a C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray tuned to produce 761 horsepower and 671 lb-ft of torque.
The Evanta Pura features somewhat “more discreet” performance than those of its brothers, but it is lighter and more technological and also has a spectacular performance. Thanks to its lighterweight of 1,290 kg (90 less than its predecessor) and a seven-speed automatic gearbox this supercar can go from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.9 seconds and is capable of reaching a maximum speed of 360 km / h.
Like other Evantras, the new Pura is built on a chassis made from a high-tensile, boxed-section steel frame and molybdenum chrome. Front and rear MacPherson strut suspension is offered as standard, or a fully adjustable suspension system is optionally available. Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes provide the stopping power, measuring 14.9 inches with six-piston calipers at the front and 14 inches with four-piston calipers at the rear.
The cabin area has also been retweaked with the introduction of digital instrumentation and a redesigned center console that also adds a new vertical touch screen to operate the infotainment system. As with all Mazzanti vehicles the interiors can be completely customized with a selection of materials, colors, and carbon fiber ensuring each and every car is totally unique, because of this only 5 vehicles are produced each year.
