178 Evanta Barchetta (2015)
Evanta Barchetta (2015) Engine 6162cc V8 LS3
Production 49 (limited)
Registration Number ONE 44 (personalised number, first allocated for Manchester)
Designed by Ant Anstead founder of Evanta cars and known via his Chanel 4 TV programme For The Love of Cars, in a joint venture with tuning company Kahn. Designed as a retro style 50s two seater sportscar. and built in Britain around a tubular chassis and clothed in a kevlar composite bodyshell, the Evanta Barchetta uses a GM-sourced 6.2-litre LS3 engine tuned to produce 450bhp.
Unveiled at the 2015 Goodwood Revival, Ant-Khans intention is to build no more than 20 such cars per year to a limited production run of 50.
The new set-up claims it wants to start manufacturing specialist vehicles exclusively in the UK, using the low-volume expertise of Evanta and the engineering and design skills of Bradford-based Kahn. A restyled Aston Martin WB12 will follow later in 2014, say the company's founders, while the Flying Huntsman will also be produced in 2014. It's a new take on the classic Land Rover Defender using the same GM V8 as the Barchetta, tuned for 550bhp in the 4x4, and has an extra 400mm of bodywork inserted in the nose of the 4x4.
