So you think the C8 is not \u201cSuper Car\u201d looking enough for you? Well the people over at Dany Bahar\u2019s Ares Design seem to have agreed with you.<\/p>\n

Originally headquartered in the Modena area, like Maserati and Pagani Automobili, Dany Bahar\u2019s Ares Design has come up with what they are calling the S1 Project based on the C8 Corvette, a wild coupe dressed as a hypercar, and an even bolder speedster to chase Ferrari\u2019s, Aston Martin\u2019s, McLaren\u2019s and Lamborghini\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Ares says that the S1 Project was inspired by the racing prototype designs of the 1970s and \u201980s, resulting in a full carbon fiber exterior over C8 mechanicals that\u2019s Compression Force Deflection (CFD) tested to be as aero efficient as a supercar should be. In fact, Ares goes on to describe the S1 as something with the looks of a hypercar, the performance of a supercar and the accessibility of a sports car.<\/p>\n

But why stop at a Coupe when so many people love the look of a speedster; they call this the S1 Project Spyder. Using the same \u201cvirtual canopy\u201d idea that McLaren introduced with the Elva, the roofless S1 features two deployable wind deflectors for \u201ca calm driving environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ares also throws in its own ECU and other performance bits to achieve a maximum engine speed of 8,800 rpm, 715 horsepower, and a 0-62 run in 2.7 seconds. If these ever make it off Ares\u2019 computer screens, both the Coupe and the Spyder will be limited to just 24 units, taking the C8\u2019s mid-engine platform to well into Ferrari territory by starting at $591,000.<\/p>\n

According to CorvetteActionCenter, December 8th is when GM\u2019s Bowling Green assembly plant will begin making 2021 Corvettes. The final push to get all of the 2020 cars out the door was enabled by the two-shift production schedule running smoothly in Bowling Green. CorvetteActionCenter notes that daily Corvette production has stabilized around 186 units, allowing the company to clear some of its 2020 production backlog.<\/p>\n

What Mike likes about this Corvette:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt dates back to 1984 when I bought my first truly significant 1967 400 with factory AC. It was also red with red interior and I took it through the entire NCRS judging system and scored top-flight. Reluctantly I sold that car. I paid $22,000 for it back then. It was referred to as Big Red! I have desperately tried to find it and buy it back but unfortunately that has not happened as of yet. So, this particular 67 truly hits home and is dear to my heart!<\/p>\n

This is an incredible Collector Corvette and is way up at the top of rarity and exclusivity. I do not know of any other 1967 400 with factory AC and factory leather interior with a Duntov Award. I am told the original owner is still alive!<\/p>\n

What an addition to your collection or single purchase Corvette.\u201d<\/p>\n
