Introducing Supervettes' Conversion Kit for the Corvette C6


While several companies are working on new tuning packages for the Corvette C7, Supervettes came up with a conversion kit for the previous generation Corvette C6. Dubbed "SV8.R", the new kit can be applied to any Corvette C6 model from 2005 to 2013 to give it a C7-like look while not abandoning the round taillights.

The body kit is fully made from carbon fiber and makes the car 5 inches wider. In addition to the body kit, the car receives a new set of wheels measuring 20 inches front and 21 inches rear. Also included in the package are the new exhausts, new brakes as well as some interior tweaks. If you're among the first five buyers, the package will cost you $60,000. Otherwise, it will cost you $65,000.

After discovering the SV8.R conversion kit, we're left with one tinkling question in mind: what's the point of buying this kit when a brand new Corvette C7 Stingray costs $52,000? Anyways, more pictures and details in the press release after the jump.

Forgiato's Wide Body Corvette C7 Revealed!

Photo by Forgiato

We've been waiting for the widebody C7 by Forgiato for such a long time. The first sketches already met a huge success among the fans. But now we finally got the chance to see the final product. The wide body comes from TS Designs while the wheels are Forgiato's Maglia-ECL cut-spoke wheels with a black/aston martin blue gloss finish just like the body of the car. They measure 21 inches front, 22 inches rear.

We love it. We just wish it was painted red just the like the first sketches! But we still love it!

You Might Need to Wait For One year To Get your Corvette Sting Ray Z51

2014 Corvette C7 Stingray Z51 Package

While SRT is struggling to sell its gorgeous Viper (for reasons we don't know), GM is facing a year long waiting list for the Chevy Corvette Sting Ray equipped with the Z51 performance package (which represents three quarters of the Corvette C7 orders). Looking at the picture above, we can understand why.

The Z51 performance package includes a three-mode electronic limited slip differential, larger slotted brake discs, dry-sump oil system, upgraded dampers, bigger wheels (19 inches in the front, 20 inches in the rear), sportier gear ratios, new suspension and an aero package that makes it look even better.

Rendering credits: Forgiato blog

This beautiful 2014 Corvette Stingray you see in the pictures below rides on Forgiato's 2.01 wheels. They measure 21 inches at the rear and 20 inches at the front. These pictures were taken from an ongoing project. In fact, this beauty will also receive the wide body treatment but you'll have to wait for the SEMA show to discover it. In the meantime, the rendering above, as well as the high res gallery below might help you visualize what the final product will look like.

The Corvette Stingray based Shooting brake Gets Green-lighted!


The amazing shooting brake concept from Callaway based on the new Corvette C7 Stingray finally got the production gree light! Details are a little scarce at the moment, but the shooting brake will feature an enhanced version of the 6.2-liter V8 engine that will allow the car to hit 320 Km/H (200 mph).

Now this reminds me of another great wagon: the Ferrari 456 Venice!

2014 Corvette C7 Super GT Illustrated by Iacoski


We've already featured some illustrations by Jacek Kolodziejczyk from Iacoski design like the BMW F30 M3 Coupe which was largely appreciated by our readers. This time Jacek strikes back with an illustration of a track-ready version of the recently unveiled Corvette C7 Stingray. The designer took inspiration from the the Japan Super GT Championship beasts. And we really love the result!

I you liked Iacoski's Super GT Corvette C7, maybe you should check out Jonsibal's Corvette C7R. The two artists went in two different directions when creating their designs but one thing is sure, we love them both and we would like to see those machines on the race track one day!
