Luca Mazzanti is a 37-year old (soon to be 38, actually, since his birthday is on January 1st) Italian who was born in Tuscany and, like many a young boy, dreamed about building his own supercar one day.
The difference between Mazzanti and almost every other boy that has the same thoughts is that Luca didn’t grow out of it, but instead focused on making his dream come true.
Since the early 1990's, he has been worked with Mario Faralli, who had a 20 years of experience in restoring rare cars such as the Cisitalia 202, the Ferrari 500 Mondial, and the “Il mostro” Maserati 450 Costin/Zagato that Stirling Moss drove in the 1957 Le Mans endurance race.
In 2001, the design and creation of a “barchetta” for a client led to the creation of F&M (Faralli and Mazzanti) Auto, which undertakes special personal projects, such as the Antas and the Vulca for its customers.
That’s not really building your own supercar though, is it? That’s why three years after collaborating with designer Zsolt Tarnok, Mazzanti is ready to launch the first ever F&M Auto production car: the Evantra.
Actually, it’s the company’s first very limited production car, since only five examples will be built with the lucky owners being able to fully customize their vehicle.
They can choose between a composite or an aluminum body, a naturally aspirated or twin-turbocharged version of a 3.5-liter flat-six delivering 403HP and 603HP respectively – and, in the case of the hand-crafted aluminum body, make changes to the design and create a bespoke, one-off supercar.

Such a beautiful body!!
Dorky name, though. Reminds me of the time Kelly Bundy was trying to get that car spokesmodel gig to introduce the new Allante.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. However to me it's fugly :)
I wonder who supply them the tranny and engine
It's very risky to name a supercar Evantra. Evantra is dangerously close to Elantra.
Thank God there will only be five of these things on the road!
i liked the fact that they made it look very different from other cars...great job
How much it cost
that's because the person who described it to you is also blind.
I see maseratti mc12 in the front and in the back with nissan gtr tail lights stuffed under the "lip", mc12 "absence of rear window". This dude has been dreaming of making his own car all his life yet still took styling cues from current vehicles. Hell any little kid with a piece of paper and a box of crayons can do that... looks like one went public with theirs.
