Mallett Corvette Z03


Vorig jaar schreven we over de Corvette Z03 Concept van Ugur Sahin, een Nederlands/Turkse designer die ons al eerder een Audi Locus en een Ferrari Dino Concept toonde. Men wilde destijds binnen een paar maanden de eerste units afleveren op Amerikaanse bodem maar dat bleek iets te ambitieus, zoals we al dachten. Toch zijn er nog steeds plannen om de auto te maken en het is vandaag bekend geworden dat er een partnership is gesloten met Mallett Cars (Ohio).

Mallett Cars heeft een lange geschiedenis met Corvette racing en de Mallett brothers hebben in de loop der jaren honderden Corvette’s behandeld. Ugur Sahin Design en Mallett Cars bieden nu samen de Corvette Z03 aan. Mallett Cars geeft daarbij een volledige 24.000 mijl garantie (2 jaar) en biedt een 999 pk Twin Turbo motor upgrade, waardoor de Mallett Z03 de krachtigste in serie geproduceerde Corvette ooit wordt.

Beautiful cars and everything that goes with it keeps fascinating large numbers of people. And the fact that fascination often leads to passion is proven by the new Corvette Z03 presented by Mallett Cars from Berea, Ohio and USD B.V, syllable for Ugur Sahin Design from Gorinchem, the Netherlands. 
 
To the team of Ugur Sahin Design the Corvette C6 rolling chassis presented itself as the ideal platform to start working from. The chassis has proven to be an extremely competitive package on the public roads and even more so on the circuits with the Le Mans victories as best proof of the competence of the C6 Corvette.   
 
With the Corvette Z03 project the 24 year old automotive designer Ugur Sahin has not only created a visually stunning concept, its name also covers the charge due to its very eminent design language translating the Corvette C3 series into a timeless design. To describe the project in one sentence is almost impossible, because this Z03 project incorporates two worlds in one: Supercar performance and the art of Automotive Haute Couture. The limited production series of 100 vehicles will be visually enhanced with stylish handcrafted Carbon Fibre bodyworks, painted in a color to the clients choice. Every body part will be precision engineered by the state of the art engineering equipments to ensure the maximum build quality.
Since the first press release early 2008 Ugur Sahin and his team have been involved in a lot of preparations to take the Z03 concept from art to parts. 
 
Several exterior design adjustments have been made for optimal engine cooling and improved downforce. The headlight units have been shaped into a more aggressive, yet distinctive design to fit the shape of the new powerdome hood. 
 
For fabrication and engine tuning of the limited Corvette series Ugur Sahin Design has teamed up with Mallett Cars from Berea, Ohio.
Mallett Cars has a long history with racing Corvettes and the Mallett brothers have tuned and upgraded hundreds of Corvettes over the years.
Now that Ugur Sahin Design and Mallett Cars have set their minds on the Corvette C6, they are aiming to push the bar even higher for the American performance car enthusiasts.
Proof of this statement is that Mallett Cars has developed a full 24000 mile/ two year guaranteed 999 hp Twin Turbo engine upgrade, which makes the Mallett Z03 the most powerful Corvette series ever produced. After the first testings of the 999HP engine upgrade, acceleration times from 0 to 60 mp/h have been clocked under 3 seconds and the top speed of reaching 220 miles per hour.
 
Pricing of the conversion of your Corvette C6 or Z06 into a USD Mallett Z03 is set at $ 69.000 for the full bodywork conversion including reference class paintwork. 
Pricing does not include cost of the donor vehicle, which will be supplied by the customer.
 
The Mallett Z03 will be available with two optional performance packages based on the GM’s LS7 engines, a 700 hp supercharged conversion and a 999 hp twin turbo conversion.

    Hollandsche design-galore! :)

    Ziet er lekker uit, alleen vanaf de zijkant bezien lijkt de voorkant wat weg te hebben vd Ferrari California? Dat je die delen van de motorafdekking ziet door de gaten in het koetswerk heen, dat ziet er fraai uit, en vanachter doet ie me denken aan de Stingray-Corvette; fraaie mix van retro en modern!

    Mooie neus voor een Corvette, on-Amerikaans mooi! Lees op de site dat het bodywork van aluminium is. Beter dan dat glasfiber van de Corvette.
    Maken dat ding!

    Kan er niet echt enthousiast van worden. Ik vind het geheel té blokkig en het had wel iets meer C3 mee mogen krijgen. Voor een C3-retro-nieuw-hip-designding vind ik hem te weinig kenmerken hebben van het origineel. Jammer maar helaas.

    @ FioranoJC;

    GTO van Michiel is door Ugur van 2D tekeningen naar een volwaardig 3D model vertaald en gevisualiseerd, dus dat verklaart heel veel denk ik.
    Het is niet zo gek dat de visuele impact van de plaatjes overeenkomen.

    @ RA999; Fantastisch. Dank je. :D Daarover: Wat? Van 0 tot 320 km/h in 18 seconden?! Zal dat geen foutje zijn? Dat is echt krankzinnig snel… Ik bedoel: “Hennessy managed 0-200mph in 20.3 seconds and Veyron in 24.2 seconds.” :shock:
