Five Beautiful Restomod Corvettes Done Right

June 17, 2018

A Stingray With Italian Styling

This is an interesting mix of styles. The C2 Corvette, AKA the Stingray, is, for my money, the most beautiful Corvette ever made. Its sweeping lines and delicate chrome accents were paired with a powerful set of engines, creating a car that is the definition of unforgettable. Then you have ARES. ARES Design is a coachbuilding company headquartered in the Italian city of Modena, famed home of Lamborghini and Maserati. When they work on the C2, they take the already-European style of the car and make it, well, a work of art. In some alternate universe, Ferruccio Lamborghini created the C2 Corvette, and it probably looks a little like this.

The car was stripped down, with each of its carbonfiber panels being repaired and resprayed in black and the original chassis replaced with one from a 2017 C7. Inside, there’s gorgeous burgundy leather bedecking the seats and surfaces. New LED headlights, A/C, and an Alpine 500W sound system have been installed. Don’t think that what’s under the hood has been left alone, though. There’s now a 6.2 liter LS3 providing power, to be precise, 525 horsepower. Around 3500 hours of work went into this Corvette, and every single one was worth it. A modern classic that blends American design with Italian style, this is one of my favorite C2s.
