    Default C6 C3R Corvette Stingray conversion

    http://www.motorauthority.com/c3r-ch...the-works.html

    What you see above are renderings of the C3R Corvette, a retro-styled homage to the 1969 Corvette Stingray, but unlike many of the computer generated Corvette mock-ups we've seen in the past this one is expected to be built. While the C3R project is still in the early stages, its creators plan to use a modern C6 Chevrolet Corvette platform to help speed development.

    The current C6 Corvette is noted for its supercar-matching performance, while its third-generation predecessor, the 1969 Corvette Stingray, gained fame for its wild styling and muscle-car appeal. Now, the chief designer behind the car, Christian Cyrulewski, is hoping to marry these two elements by creating his own interpretation of the car.

    The C3R will debut at next year’s Woodward Cruise in Detroit, where Cyrulewski hails from, and will head to SEMA following the initial debut.
    Cyrulewski is also working on a ‘427’ version of the C3R, which will attempt to incorporate the alternative hood and side pipes found on the 1969 427 Corvette. In keeping with the original 427 it would also use a 427 cubic-inch engine from Katech, the same company that produces the racing engines for the C5R and C63 cars.

    Currently, the C3R project is in the tooling development stage, but more updates are coming as it progresses, which you can check out Cyrulewski's website by clicking here.

    That's a slick beast fo' sho', but I am definitely NOT feeling the pop-up headlights. Despite the fact that the original Stinger had them...

    Surely there's gotta be a better alternate to those.

    That is a pretty cool conversion. Shows how the car has maintained similar lines throughout the generations.
