It looks like it will only be sold in India, at least to start with.
I wonder if the planned production date will be stretched out like with Delorean.
How much is Rs30lakh in US dollars?
Will it be permitted/accepted in SDC/AOAI events?Gary L.

It has nothing in common with the Studebaker Avanti other than the name.
By that reasoning, we should allow Toyota Land Cruisers and Dodge Daytonas in the meets as well.
Or perhaps I'll buy an Avanti twin turboprop...or an Avanti stuffed toy or Avanti refrigerator and demand to be judged.63 Avanti R1 2788

1 lakh is 100,000 so 30 Lakh is 3,000,000 Indian Rupees = US$60,636.69 according to XE.Com currency conversion site. If it were a good car, which it probably isn't using US standards it might be a good buy, can't imagine them selling many of them in the states if they were ever brought over.John Clements

The point to be made is, there is no South Bend blood or sweat dropped on this endeavor.

I can certainly see them at AOAI events, but IMHO any SDC link is a stretch.63 Avanti R1 2788

Any car company can call their car an Avanti and there's not much anyone can do about it. It's just a model name. There are more than 260 docs on file at USPTMO fo the mark Avanti - about 2/3 of 'live appse and the other third dead.
They aren't representing it as a Studebaker Avanti and they aren't maintaining it has any of the Stude Avanti liniage, they're just naming onr of their car models.Mike O'Handley, Cat Herder Third Class
