Quite an interesting design. A few minor tweaks here and there could make this thing look great.

Gorenchem, The Netherlands, February, 2008 - Automotive design and coach building firm Ugur Sahin Design announced plans to build a Chevrolet Corvette Supercar entitled the Corvette Z03 Concept. The vehicle will be built in a limited production of just 100 units utilizing the platform of the world renown Corvette Z06 and will have a restyled body made of carbon fiber. Beyond the rebodied exterior, modifications will be made to the power plant, suspension and interior.

Concept by Ugur Sahin <---- does that mean "Ugly as Sin"?

Not the nicest custom coachwork excectution I have ever seen, but if you cant get your hands on a ZR1 I guess this would have to do ;)

Im just hoping this isnt the final design. It has a lot of nice ideas they just dont look as good as they could, or should. Though I admit the more I look at it the more I appreciate some aspects of it

Looks sensational!! And i'm sure will go like that too..
Is there a hint of Ford GT?

MidEngine4Life 02-21-2008 05:44 AM

My impression is that it looks like they took a vette and tried to make it look more like a 599 mixed with a classic 70's stingray

The front screams TVR to me.

Looks even more like a Ferrari now. :thumbup:

It looks like that fake modern Dino concept that was put out a year ago.... not a bad thing, but not very corvette in any way, shape, or form... not even one of Zora's mid engine reflections in it :-\

ANd by the looks of it there concept is too small all round - the frame, radiator locaitons, twin turbo plumbing and wide wheels wouldnt fit under that skinny body ;)

the front reminds me of the C3 corvette, in a good way though

enzoferrari 02-21-2008 01:35 PM

I like it,but why? C3 Z03, perhaps C15 Z15 lol:-P

There are some nice C3 elements (C3 Chrome Bumper cars are my all time favourite Corvette) but I think the fenders are too tall - and they almost have the classic Coke Bottle shape, but not qute - and whats with the F430 nostrils?

I'll be blunt. I don't like it and it's ugly. The usual Corvette cues are there, but they're oddly executed. Too round perhaps? It reminds me of a kitcar.

Yeah, that's one of the ugliest parts of the car.. don't like those either.

Only part of the design that resembles a Vette (C5/C6) is the shape of the ass.
