1963 Studebaker Avanti R2

The featured vehicle is a distinctive 1963 Studebaker Avanti R2, a classic American sports car manufactured in the latter years of Studebaker's operations. This model is a standout from its era due to its radical design, characterized by a fastback coupé body with dramatic curves and an innovative backbone chassis that positioned the driver ahead of the front axle. Powered by a 289 cubic inch V8 engine producing around 240 horsepower, this Studebaker accelerates with vigor while still offering comfortable seating for two occupants within its upswept rear section. Weighing approximately 3,000 pounds and boasting distinctive features like faired-in headlights and concealed windshield wipers, the Avanti R2 was indeed ahead of its time in aesthetic appeal and engineering design.
