Corvette C3R - A C3 Retro
The Corvette C3R Stingray is a design by Christian Cyrulewski. The vehicle is
based on the current C6 platform, and features the same drive train and chassis
components.
The appearance of the C3R Stingray is inspired by the early C3 series,
however enough thought has gone into the C3R's design to ensure the styling is
not too heavily influenced by the original design to take away from the
character of both cars.
The sleek body work of the Corvette C3R features stylized miniature
chrome bumpers both front and rear which are a nod to the original C3's
design. The rear window with buttresses either side, taillight panel, flip-up
headlights, and redesigned lateral air intakes are all styling elements which
have been integrated into the C3R's design.
The first Corvette C3R Stingray is scheduled to appear at the 2009 Woodward
Cruise in Detroit, Michigan. If the vehicle is a success and generates enough
interest then a kit to transform a standard C6 'Vette into a C3R Stingray will
be made available.
