Callaway C16 Corvette

The Chevrolet Callaway Corvette C16 was first unveiled at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show. It marks the sixteenth number in the Callaway series of built to order, exclusive cars. It is based on the current Chevrolet Corvette platform, but takes those high standards of performance and design to a higher level, with 616 supercharged bhp as well as 582 lb / ft of torque.

The Chevrolet Callaway Corvette C16 is a sports car that combines Callaway's race proven technologies with its superb craftsmanship and eye catching looks.

Callaway is capable of making about a hundred C16s at its main factories in Nekarsulm, Germany; Los Angeles, California; and Old Lyme, Connecticut. About thirty five versions of the new Callaway Corvette will be manufactured in the coming year.

This makes the new Callaway Corvette an incredibly exclusive vehicle - even more so than the Ferrari Enzo and the Porsche Carrera GT. The target market for the new Callaway Corvette is those individuals who are extremely passionate about new high tech vehicles.

Of course, the new Callaway Corvette will not come for cheap. The estimated value of the Callaway Corvette is $120,000. Regular Corvettes start at around $45,000. Of course, the difference between the two vehicles is not merely aesthetic, but lies in performance, as well. In the era of Bugatti Veyrons that are going for a million dollars a piece, maybe the price tag on the new Callaway Corvette is not so steep after all.

While the Callaway Corvette is definitely not the car for everyone, it definitely has a highly select audience for whom the vehicle will become the most sought after item of the year. While there are a host of competing luxury sports vehicles, such as the Porsche 911 GT3 and the Ferrari F430, that offer similar refinement, the Callaway Corvette boasts an exclusive "wow" factor that puts these vehicles to shame. Considering the fact that the Callaway Corvette is going to be manufactured in such a limited edition, it puts similar competing cars down to the level of mere interest.

Of course, the Callaway Corvette does have its detractors. Some feel that the bodywork on the vehicle is too flashy and the interior too precious. But even the harshest critics cannot argue with the fact that the car boasts top notch running gear.

Paul Deutschman is responsible for the arresting design of the Chevrolet Callaway Corvette C16. Deutschman has been designing automobiles for Callaway for over twenty years. He is responsible for engineering the overall Callaway look, from the 254 mile per hour Sledgehammer to the C4 based Le Mans race cars that helped make Callaway a winner at that prestigious tournament. The car was crafted by hand, replacing every panel of the automobile's standard both as a means of achieving its integrated appearance. What is more, the Chevrolet Callaway Corvette C16 has attained a new level of manufacturing efficiency. Car critics the world over cannot get enough of it. Now you can see why.
