The 2007 Avanti continues to be built on a Mustang chassis. The standard and only powertrain is the standard Mustang 300-horse 3-valve V-8, with 5-speed automatic transmission. The car is offered in a convertible model, using the standard Mustang top, or a coupe using a unique side and back roof. 

Other technical specifications are identical, except for the 245/40-18 and 275/40-18 tires fr/rr. The interior is again standard Mustang GT, with the Avanti logo sewn into the door and seat panels. The dashboard is wood, eliminating the large chrome rings around the speedo and tach. No more than 150 Avantis are produced each year.

As of October 2006, the Avanti is built in Cancun, Mexico in a new 100,000 square foot industrial complex. an Avanti/Studebaker museum is included, but information as to whether this is open to the public for viewing is not provided. Plant tours are available by request and appointment.

 2006 Avanti: Mustang powered

 

Original Studebaker AvantiAs befits a car that was conceived in the sixties, the 2006 Avanti has switched from the old Camaro/Firevird convertible platform to the platform and powertrain of the 2005 Mustang.

Avanti has established a new relationship with Ford and offers the standard Mustang V-8 engine.

An original Avanti is pictured at left. No images are available yet for the 2006 model.
