### Cadillac XLR in the new millennium Cadillac rushed with the idea-fixe to seriously challenge European premium brands. To do this, I had to completely change the image – to come up with a new design language and bet on the platforms with a longitudinal layout. At one point, the case reached an elegant XLR relatives with a hard folding roof at the peak of Mercedes-Benz SL and the like. What does Corvette have to do with it? Despite the fact that the X-El-ar is based on the sixth generation Y-Body architecture (C6). Cadillac Cadillac Often, the concept of “nozzle models” is interpreted extremely narrow and trite – they say, this is something the same with slightly different bodies. XLR is a lively refutation of delusions and stereotypes. For example, only lower aluminum “eights” of the LS family with two valves per cylinder were placed on Corvette C6. Cadillac is equipped with a 32-valve V8 Northstar with a volume of 4.6 liters (324 hp) or compressor 4.4-liter (449 hp) for charged modification XLR-V. In addition, Rodster has individual suspension settings. Cadillac In the interior of Cadillac XLR, it is also hardly possible to find at least something in common with the corvette. Cadillac ### Scaglietti Corvette The first experiments on the topic of Castomas with Corvettic giblets are dated to very long -standing times. At the end of the fifties, Gary Laflin, a contractor for the drilling of oil wells from Texas drove to Ferrari, and once a crankshaft broke in his car. The repair came out long and expensive, after which Laflin thought about Corvette. Of course, Chevy is not Ferrari, but every year the sports car was getting better. Laflin wondered how the symbiosis of American engineering and Italian design could look. Jim Hall acted like -minded people and … the legendary racer and designer Carroll Shelby. Carrozzeria scaglietti Sergio Scaltti (Carrozzeria Scaglietti), the author of the appearance of Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France and other wonderful machines was ordered from Sergio copies. Technically, the compartment is by no means identical. One “Italian” Corvette received a 315-horsepower injector Ramjet V8 and a four-stage mechanical gearbox, the rest-carburetor engines and “automatic machines”. Castomas can be admired endlessly, but, according to sources, they are pleasure below the average. The sophisticated drivers they seemed heavy and slow. However, the current collection owners are unlikely to require unique Grand Stances acute controllability. The value of Scaglietti Corvette is in history and a superpower circulation. Carrozzeria scaglietti ### DDR GRULLLLLLLLLLLAST8/DDR Grullón GT8 Grand Prix in the profile of the Supercar of the American company DDR Motorsport resembles McLaren F1. But it is more simpler and very interesting in its own way! GT8 and the Grand Prix version with additional aerodynamic plumage is KIT kars for independent assembly. The basic set includes a spatial frame made of steel pipes, body panels made of fiberglass, optics, glass, radiators, instrument panel and small things. Grullón Everything else, the customer will have to buy it independently. Namely, the V8 from the Chevrolet Corvette C5 (1997-2004) along with the generator, the air conditioning compressor and other attachment equipment. In addition, you will need a suspension, a steering mechanism and other components of the “corvette”. The six -speed gearbox is offered to be purchased from the Porsche Boxster S, having plundered it with the engine using the kit from the Kennedy Enginered Performance. Grullón ### Rossi SixtySix Corve Corvette Second generation is a source of inspiration for artists. Sometimes they try to transfer his outstanding style to our time in adapted form. At the atelier, Team Rossi, a similar trick was quite a success. The SixtySix project is an original interpretation of the early C2 with an unusual rear window shared in half. Team Rossi Chevy Corvette C2 was very cool for its era and the state industry. For example, he acquired an independent suspension – a real miracle against the background of maslscars with a beam of the rear axle! The design based on the second iteration is harmoniously combined with the Corvette C6 chassis. Engine – six -liter V8 LS2 (452 hp). The salon is also from the donor model, but with upgrades and additions. Team Rossi ### Equus Throwback compartment from Equus Automotive, which from the suburb of Detroit is a street bully. Puffy and pretentious. The exterior has a real vinaigrette from the Corvette features of different generations. The seventh is taken as the basis, but under the front wheel arches are taken – a reference to the first Chevy, and the design of an immodest rear part with embossed wings and three huge pipes of the exhaust system is clearly inspired by Corvette C3. The interior is borrowed from the seventh iteration and ennobled with better materials. Equus Automotive A choice of motors with a return of up to 1014 hp are offered a choice. and 1114 Nm. The most ferocious option provides a set of 97 km/h in 2.5 seconds and a maximum speed of 354 km/h. The planned circulation, which was voiced back in 2018 – 25 units. Equus Automotive ### Callaway Sledgehammer American tuning studio Callaway Cars has in its track record the amazing Chevy Corvette. For example, Speedster (“In the girl”-Corvette C4, ten pieces were released) with a 350-horsepower Twincummer capacity of 5.7 liters. This cool “athlete” is in any comparison with Sledgehammer (“Surglet”). In 1988, he was considered the fastest Corvette among the public roads and remained such for eleven years! Callaway Cars Sledgehammer fully justifies its name with a V-shaped “eight” with a volume of 5.7 liters with reinforced components and two turbochargers. Recoil – 911 hp and 1047 Nm. The maximum speed is 410 km/h. Acceleration to 97 km/h (60 miles/h) – 3.9 seconds, passing ¼ miles – 10.6 seconds. For the end of the eighties, indicators from the category of science fiction! With such extraordinary abilities of Sledgehammer on the outside and inside, it was quite modest, since the goal of the tuners was to develop incredibly fast, but suitable for driving through the streets and highway of the car. Callaway Cars ##Hleil Anadi, we have repeatedly noticed that the mutual enrichment of Italian and American cultures sometimes gives magnificent fruits. But in the case of Anadi supercar, there is an admixture of Indian aesthetics. At the time of its creation, Soleil Motors was headed by Adhar Srivastava, founder and executive director. The name Anadi translated from Hindi means “no restrictions.” Soleil Motors Anadi is nothing more than a “dressed” Corvette with a fiberglass body and modified by a 6.2-liter V8. Mechanical supercharger and other upgrades inflated power up to 660 hp. A sprint up to hundreds takes 3.2 seconds, the maximum speed is 323 km/h. Soleil Motors ### ISO GRIFO 90 The Italian brand ISO Rivolta in the end of the eighties was reborn with the assistance of Pierrot Ryvoluta, the son of the founder of the original brand Renzo Ryvolta, great artist Marcello Gandini and the experienced designer Jampaolo Dallara, who once served as chief engineer Lamborghini. The source of inspiration was the original Grifo Grifo Grifo Grifo-Seventies Grifo-an alloy of Italian grace and American powerful “eights” from Chevrolet and Ford. ISO RIVOLTA Stylistically Grifo 90 does not at all look like a rethinking of modern classics. At the time of its appearance, it was progressive, and not only in terms of design. Outstanding masters of their craft conceived a beautiful appearance and decent sledges. Supercar is assembled on a spatial power structure. Front suspension on double transverse levers. “Eight” with a volume of 5.7 liters from Corvette C4 “Dopile” Callaway Cars tuning studio: 446 hp. Unfortunately, Pierrot Rivalt did not wait for state funding, and the project was quietly folded. ISO RIVOLTA ### ISO RIVOLTA GTZ in the summer of 2020 Zagato’s body studio returned the ISO Rivolta brand and reinforced its ambitions – introduced the GTZ (Gran Turismo Zagato) in honor of the ISO Rivolta A3/L 1963, which influenced the impact on The style of a number of sportsmen of that era. The exterior is completely original, and the technical part makes the curtsy “corvette” Z06. ISO RIVOLTA Initially, it was planned to install a 6.8-liter V8 engine, but as a result, the creators of the machine decided to limit themselves to a compressor 6.2-liter “eight” with a capacity of 660 hp. With the possibility of force 750 hp. At the request of the client. The circulation is 19 copies. ISO RIVOLTA ### Bertone Mantide in the elaborate supercar from the Italian body bodies Bertone is absolutely impossible to discern the donor Corvette ZR1 (C6). Moreover, Styling Jason Castrians (author of the magnificent Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and Maserati Granturismo) is rather average. Nevertheless, in matters of Mantide, a serial sports car completely repeats. V8 with a volume of 6.2 liters with a mechanical supercharger (647 hp) is located in front. Bertone ZR1 is fast, but Bertone Mantide cannot be caught up with him! A completely carbon fiber body, so the mass is reduced by a centner and advanced aerodynamics allow you to gain 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and develop 351 km/h. There were rumors allegedly about ten copies, but in reality only one was built for the collector of Dan Watkins. Bertone
Chevrolet Corvette is a self -sufficient cult supercar with a thousands of passionate fans and an impressive tuning industry. But did you know that the alterations of the American legends are completely out of the row, for thin connoisseurs? For example, sometimes it is ruthlessly turned into small -scale castes or built on its basis of record monsters. Why not! It is a sin not to take advantage of the cool units and a worthy chassis. We collected ten such sportsmen, starting serial and ending with the concept.
