StarLight Garage presents the brand new Evanta Barchetta 2014, this car this Friday 12th September unveiled at the Goodwood Revival.
If you take a closer look, you will see here the inspiration of the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato from 1950.
As far as I concern, the car looks fabulous!
The retro-styled 2-seater open top speedster, which has been "inspired by the design language of 1950s motorsport", is described as having "sleek, sweeping curves" and "Anglo-Italian parentage".
Each vehicle is designed and built in Britain, and hand-crafted using traditional coach building methods.
The Barchetta is a retro British car but full of modern technology. Styled to look like a race car out of the ‘50s, the Barchetta rides on a tubular chassis, has Kevlar bodywork (aluminum is available for an extra cost), and is powered by a 6.2-liter GM LS3 V-8 that puts down 450 horsepower on the road.
The combination of a powerful engine and low weight gives the Barchetta "exceptional agility"
It would be available as left and right-hand versions and customers are able to specify either a manual or an automatic transmission.
Production will be limited to 24 cars per year, with a total production run of only 99 vehicles.
Evanta boss Ant Anstead said: "I’ve created a brand over the last few years based on classic cars and classic design.
“We wanted to create a modern, retro car that still has the styling elements and inspiration from the 50s and 60s – but also one that was totally reliable.
"Today’s customer doesn’t want to open the bonnet or get underneath the car. They still want the thrill of driving it, though, to be part of the exclusive club that drives these cars.
