F&M Antas Ready for Its Close-Up

MONTE CARLO, Monaco — Faralli and Mazzanti, otherwise known as F&M, will unveil the production version of its classic-look Antas V8 sports car at the exclusive and high-profile Top Marques show in Monaco this year. The Italians also showed the Antas here last April, as a one-off.

The name Antas means "Eagle" in the Etruscan language. The sports car was conceived two years ago by the team of classic car restorers whose usual work is returning legendary Italian sports cars from marques like Cisitalia and Maserati to their former glory.

The Antas features styling cues from such classic icons as the Bugatti 57, Talbot-Lago, and 1950s Maseratis, but will have a more muscular look. It means that there will be new carbon-fiber body parts and carefully chosen sporty wheels and tires.

The Antas retains its Maserati-sourced 310-horsepower V8 engine that is straight from a 1960s Maserati.
