Corvette Z03 Concept
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

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

Looks even more like a Ferrari now.

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

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.

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