The New Marcos Has a Name

The new Marcos will carry the Manticore name, continuing a naming tradition familiar to generations of enthusiasts.

The new Marcos car will be called the Manticore, bringing a fresh identity to the marque while echoing some of the best-known names in its history.

With predecessors including the Mantis, Mantula, Mantara and Mantaray, Manticore fits naturally into the Marcos family. Its distinctive “Man” opening creates a clear connection with those earlier models, linking the forthcoming car to an established naming tradition.

Drawn from mythology, Manticore brings its own character to that lineage. The name evokes a formidable legendary creature, giving the new model a dramatic identity before its design and engineering take centre stage.

For enthusiasts, that connection offers a familiar thread between past and future. Names such as Mantis and Mantara are part of the marque’s history; Manticore carries that recognisable sound into its next chapter.

The car itself will ultimately define what the name stands for. For now, Marcos Manticore provides an evocative introduction—rooted in the marque’s naming heritage, with a story of its own still to unfold.
