Mazzanti Automobili has revealed its Evantra V8 production model at the 2013 Top Marques Monaco show.

The Italian automaker plans on building just five units a year, all hand-made in Italy. A two-seater coupe, the Evantra V8 can be ordered in either carbon fiber composite materials or with a hand-crafted, aluminum body personalized by the client. Powering the Evantra is a 7.0-liter V8 Corvete engine with 701 hp and 625 lb-ft of torque sourced from Chevrolet.

Transmission options include a six-speed manual or a sequential gearbox with the Evantra accelerating to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds while having a top speed of 217 mph. Standard on the vehicle are 20-inch OZ wheels backed by Brembo brakes with six-piston calipers in the front and four-piston calipers in the rear.

On the inside, the Evantra’s interior will be custom-built based on the buyer’s specifications.

No pricing was announced at the vehicle’s debut.
