Anteros Supercars

The Anteros project started back in 2002, when John & Joann Rothman wanted to create a sports car inspired by the classic 60’s era but with the technology of today.

Anteros takes inspiration from the 1960’s – the Golden Age of Sports cars: "The essence of our design function is to re-create and interpret Classic Sportscar Coachbuilding."

Under the direction of Award Winning graphic design artist, Franklin Burris, conceptual design artist, Don Johnson, and sculptor, John Allen, the basic shapes of the Anteros were hand carved and developed.

The product of over 5000 hours of sculpting was a Supercar based on the C-6 platform.

In May 2005 the team was completed with Roger Hector, a graduate of the Art Center College of Design and turned the concept into reality.

Anteros XTM Roadster was debuted with at SEMA in 2005.

Further market recognition was received at Barrett Jackson in early 2006 resulting in a waiting list of customers.

Now Anteros XTS Targa and XTR Hardtop are debuting at the 2006 SEMA.

All the models are built on the easy-to-service C-6/ZO6 running gear. And with supercharging delivers 550 to 650 horsepower with gas mileage of about 28 miles per gallon.

Each car is hand-crafted to customer specifications.
