The Avanti makes 250 hp and 360 Nm of torque.

Here are the complete technical specifications of India's first sportscar, the DC Avanti.

The Avanti gets a ground clearance of 170 mm.

The Avanti measures 4,550 mm in length, 1,965 mm in width, 1,200 mm in height and 2,700 mm in wheelbase. The two-seater has 20-inch alloy wheels which are shod with 255/35 tyres at the front and wider 295/30 tyres at the rear.

The mid-engined Avanti is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine (likely a Ford EcoBoost unit) which produces 250 hp and 360 Nm of torque. A 6-speed manual transmission sends this to the rear wheels.

The car's body is made of a carbon composite, and it rests on a spaceframe chassis with a rollcage. DC claims a weight of 1,580 kg, and an India-friendly ground clearance of 170 mm. A double wishbone setup is seen for the front and rear.

The interior can be color coordinated with the exterior of the car.

ABS, disc brakes for all wheels and Bi-Xenon headlights are the Avanti's main features. Airbags it seems will not be offered on this INR 35 lakh sportscar. On the outside, the Avanti gets a motorsport-inspired fuel filter and a glass louvered engine cover. The model can be had in a total of 10 colors.
