Billed as an extreme version of the Evantra, the  Millecavalli  is the latest exotic machine to wear the Tuscany manufacturer's Mazzanti badge.  Its world premiere, made at the 2016 Turin Auto Show, follows a series of  ten teaser videos , during which we learned that it is the most powerful road-legal hypercar to ever come out of Italy, eclipsing the  Ferrari LaFerrari's 950 HP  and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque. Power comes from a new  7.2-liter twin-turbo V8 engine , pumping out 1,000 HP and 1,200 Nm (885 lb-ft) of torque, channeled to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox. Tipping the scales at 1,300 kg (2,866 lbs), the  hypercar is capable of  sprinting from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 2.7 seconds and it can reach 250 mph (402 km/h). Developed specifically for the automaker by Brembo using motorsport technology, the carbon ceramic brakes are so powerful it can bring it to a halt from 300 km/h (186 mph) in 7 seconds. ...

Codenamed “EV-R,” the Evantra Millecavalli is far from being a pure electric vehicle as the internal code would suggest. After a very long teaser campaign, Italian specialty marque Mazzanti Automobili is finally showing us the final version of the car which will be on display between June 8 and 12 at the 2016 Salone Auto Torino in Italy. Billed as being the “most powerful street-legal hypercar ever built in Italy,” the Evantra Millecavalli is motivated by a newly developed biturbo 7.2-liter V8 engine. The massive unit is able to hit the magical 1,000-hp mark and generates a peak torque in excess of 886 pound-feet (1,200 Nm). Looking like a hardcore version of the original Evantra, the Millecavalli will run to 60 mph (96 kph) from a standstill in just 2.7 seconds. There’s no word about top speed, but it should be pretty high taking into account how much power the supercar packs. In addition, weight is likely very low since the regular 224-mph Evantra tips the scal...
