n2a Motors, Inc. debuted its latest model, the Anteros, at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 21st.


Continuing a tradition of unique styling and impressive performance, the Anteros is built on the new 2009 Corvette platform and features a body reminiscent of iconic Italian designs. Built from modern lightweight carbon fiber, the Anteros is available with a variety of performance and appearance options. n2a Motors will start delivering the first customer vehicles in January 2009.

n2a Motors displayed the first production convertible and coupe versions of the Anteros in their exhibit. The black convertible is built using a stock '09 Corvette donor car, featuring the 430 hp/424 lb-ft torque LS3 V-8 engine that gets 16 MPG city and 26 MPG highway. The silver coupe is based on a '09 Corvette Z06 and is modified with a 630-horsepower performance package. All base models include a carbon composite body, hand-stitched leather interior, three-piece aluminum wheels, and a custom exhaust. Chevrolet’s 100,000-mile powertrain warranty remains completely intact, and the Anteros can be serviced at any GM dealership.

Each Anteros takes approximately 12 weeks to build from the time of order. n2a Motors starts by removing the donor Corvette’s body panels and installing the new carbon-composite Anteros body, a process that takes nearly 800 hours for n2a’s coachbuilding craftsmen to complete. The interior panels are upholstered in supple leather while the wheels and exhaust are removed and replaced with n2a’s custom-made components. The turnkey Anteros Coupe starts at $149,500, and the Anteros Convertible starts at $154,500. Anteros Coupes built on the Z06 platform start at $176,500.

The Anteros is the follow-up to n2a Motors’ 789 model that debuted to critical acclaim at the New York International Auto Show in March 2008. Inspired by the designs of the 1957, '58, and '59 Chevrolets, the 789 was hailed as “merely the coolest car…on the planet” by the New York Times. The 789 is also built on the C6 Corvette platform and utilizes a carbon composite body. Coupe 789 models starts at $139,500, and the convertible base model is $144,500. A convertible 789 is also on display at the LA Auto Show.

The LA Auto Show is held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from November 21-30. n2a Motors can be found in booth number K-620 in the Kentia Hall.
