A Reborn C2 Corvette With 1,200-HP Of Electric Power Is Coming

TheChevrolet Corvettehas looked very different over the years, but there's no doubt that theC2 shapeis one of the prettiest ever made. Unfortunately, its beauty has made it very expensive, and its age means that it's now considered slow. But what if somebody was willing to bring the classic into the 21st century with a four-digit horsepower rating? That sounds like something we can all get behind, and one of the greatest designers ever is helping make it a reality. Ian Callum is the man behind英国的一些漂亮的汽车ever, and he's working with Irish engineering firm Ava to make an electric C2 Stingray.

Callum's recently formeddesign housewill be handling the styling of the car alongside the designer of the original Stingray, Peter Brock. The new project, dubbed Hyperclassic, will be the first of what Ava calls "a new chapter in the story of much loved cars." The teaser image above is intended to whet our appetites in preparation for the car's reveal later this month. The project will have development input from teams in Nevada, Ireland, and the UK and will be an AWD machine with "performance in the 1,200-2,000 brake horsepower range". We think that should be enough for most people.
