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. The main difference between the Mantara and the Mantula was the adoption of [[MacPherson strut]] front suspension in place of the [[Triumph Motor Company|Triumph]] suspension and associated [[trunnion#In vehicles|trunnions]]. This change resulted in a wider front track, different bonnet, and flared front arches. The rear wheel arches and rear lights were also changed to give the car a more modern appearance. Power steering was also available for the first time. The Mantara was powered as standard by a 3.9-litre fuel injected Rover V8 or a 4.6-litre Rover V8 as an optional alternative.

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 top version was the {{convert|200|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} turbo version. 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 V8's were produced with the same bonnet as the 2.0 litre GTS.<ref>[http://www.rory.uk.com/Mantara.html "Mantara...", Marcos Heritage Spares]</ref>

For a return to GT racing, a range of modified Mantaras was also produced in the LM (Le Mans) versions. To qualify as a production vehicle, a limited number of road going cars were also made. Several versions of the LM were made such as the [[Marcos LM400|LM400]] (with a Rover 3.9-litre V8 engine), [[Marcos LM500|LM500]] (Rover 5-litre V8) and [[Marcos LM600|LM600]] (6-litre [[Chevrolet]] small-block V8). Only 30 road-going LM cars were ever built, and of these only one was a road-going LM600.
