The fastest production car in the world when it was introduced, the Avanti was manufactured and marketed by Studebaker from June 1962 to December 1963. The company built fewer than 6,000 Avantis before discontinuing the model. Subsequently, the Avanti name, tooling and plant space were sold and production of increasingly modified versions of the original Avanti continued until 2006.
