The Studebaker Avanti is a personal luxury coupe manufactured and marketed by Studebaker Corporation between June 1962 and December 1963 for the 1963 and 1964 model years. The Avanti was designed by a team lead by Raymond Loewy as a halo car for Studebaker.
It was the fastest production car in the world upon its introduction. A completely stock Avanti could reach over 178 mph (286 km/h) with its supercharged 289-cubic-inch (4,740 cm3) engine. In all, it broke 29 world speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Following Studebaker's discontinuation of the model, a series of five owner arrangements continued to manufacture and marketing of the Avanti model through 2006.
