The Avanti was introduced by Studebaker as the company's entry into the sports car market. The fiberglass-bodied car was designed by Raymond Loewy Studios for Studebaker. It was the company's first completely redesigned car in 10 years and was built on a modified Lark-Daytona chassis.
The Avanti had two engine options. The R1 base engine was an overhead valve 289 V-8 that developed 240 horsepower. An optional supercharged version - the R2 - boasted 289 horsepower, one horsepower per cubic inch.
The $4,445 list price put the Avanti in the upper tier of the American automobile market in 1963. Nevertheless, 3,834 were sold.
