Evening all (from the UK),

Built to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the original Zagato, Evanta Motor Company have created a classic Gran Turismo fused with modern day technology. This blend, on what is often regarded by many as the most beautiful GT car of all time makes the culmination of over two years hard work time well spent.

The above photograph was shot at a nearby scrapyard, shortly before the car was to be shipped to Monaco for auction. To read the full story on the car, and further images you can click here to visit my blog post:

Just before the car was shipped off, Evanta commissioned me again to shoot some studio style brochure shots. This is one of the more creative images from the end of the shoot. Again, the full story and further images can be found on this blog post:

It looks good in these, & nice ones in the blog, too. But I question the thinking behind shooting "the most beautiful GT car of all time" in a scrap yard?

That was their choice and the concept behind the video they were having made at the same time. Contrasting location I guess!

I'll bet the guys at Top Gear will get a stiffy when they see this thing!!

Great shots of it.

Feel free to use any photo's that I post for any purpose that I don't find offensive. I'd be honored to find my pics used on that world wide web thingy....

OMG my eyes are hurting, that thing is sooooooo pretty!!!

I have to agree with Frank on the location, but good shots otherwise.

either keep it modern (new) or keep it classic (period correct - within 5 years of it being built) never a fan of mix matching.... (and i'm only 27) but the shots are really nice!

Equipment: Canon PowerShot A650IS (semi retired) and Canon Powershot G10 (primary) and Rebel XT 350D w/18-55mm kit lens and Quanterey 18-200mm-- www.youtube.com/alexander1485 (has links to some of my pictures on the main page)

That's fair enough, all down to personal taste I guess

Seeing the car up close in real life shows the quality of workmanship thats gone into the car. I absolutely loved it, and has so much presence :cool: Can't beat the sound of the V12 either as it pulls off :lol:
