They'll Build Your Fantasy Car

Filed in archive Italian Cars by Philip Powell on June 8, 2007

Faralli Custom

There isn't much you can't do with enough money. That includes ordering an Italian speciliast builder to build an Antas car based on your personal design concepts for, say, $800,000, which is what Faralli & Mazzanti of Pisalinks are willing to do, starting with their demonstrator skeleton and chassis. Founded more than 40 years ago and specialising in restoring aluminum-bodied classic cars, the company produced the famous Maserati 450S Costin-Zagato (the "Monster," a one-off car made for Sir Stirling Moss to drive at Le Mans); no less than five Cisitalias and Lancia Astura Aerodinamicas, (of which there are only two left in the world); and the famous Ferrari 500 Mondial. Each and every model will be unique, as the first step in ordering an Antas is for the engineer to sit with the client and sketch his most preferred styling. As an automotive fantasy for the rich-and-famous it must surely be the ultimate gift. For the rest of us, more concerned with climate change and the search for renewable fuels, it is one more example of (no, I won't suggest greed) indulgence gone astray. If all these brilliant engineers and supercar designers were to put their heads together to re-invent the automobile, our earth and its cars would be the beneficiaries.
