[1][2][3] In 1992 Marcos left the kit car business, all cars from this point onwards being factory built, and launched the Marcos Mantara which was sold through dealers in limited numbers.

[4][5][6] The 3.9-litre version produces 190 hp (142 kW) at 4750 rpm and 234 lb⋅ft (317 N⋅m) of torque at 3200 rpm, while the 4.7-litre version produces 230 hp (172 kW).

[8] The Marcos GTS was a version of the Mantara powered by the 2-litre Rover Tomcat engine, on request of the Italian distributor Martes Spider Cars.

The GTS version of the Mantara had a slightly different bonnet incorporating much smoother lines, flared-in headlamps, and a deeper spoiler, which was used on the later Mantaray model.

A handful of late Mantara V8s were produced with the same bonnet as the 2.0 litre GTS.
