Default Faralli and Mazzanti Antas V8 GT






Faralli and Mazzanti, an Italian classic car restoration company created a Maserati-powered sportscar, which will be shown at the Top Marques exhibition in Monaco

ANTAS V8 GT is the first “Berlinetta” (touring car) created in the F & M workshop. It is completely inspired by the philosophy and material used in the “special series” of the past: the body, for example, is made of aluminium and completely built by hand.


ANTAS is driven by a powerful V8 MASERATI engine fed by carburettors and endowed with a pleasing elasticity of power, which gives the “driver” the sensation of “true” steering typical of the great touring cars of the past. Because of this, when the time came to name this “jewel,” a word was chosen that comes from the ancient Tuscan language of the ETRUSCANS: ANTAS, which means EAGLE, the noblest and most audacious dominator of open spaces.


On delivery, ANTAS comes equipped with a case covered in blue velvet bearing the silver plate with the identification numbers; inside are a photography book and a DVD documenting the construction of the vehicle.

It's funny. I really like this car and I kinda don't.

The over design of the car is great, but the details such as wheel arches and side vents
could be much improved.

The fin running on the back is different, but I think it detracts from the overall fluidity of the
car.
