Callaway C16

[JOKEJOE]

The Chevrolet Corvette based C16 is the 16th vehicle to join Callaway’s build-to-order line. Features include a 6.0-liter supercharged V8 that puts down 616 hp making the C16 capable of getting to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and covering the quarter mile in 10.9 seconds. Suspension is revised with a coil-over shock setup. Outside Callaway replaces every exterior panel, yielding cleaner and more integrated lines. A well equipped C16 will retail around $127,000.

Nel complesso non e' male: solito frontale in stile Callaway e il resto e' Corvette.

Ma stavolta si e' sbilanciato un po' troppo con quel montante posteriore in stile Fiorano...

io la trovo bellissima! slanciata, non enormemente amaricana, e molto ben proporzionata! per il motore... beh... è una callaway!

Callaway Cars debuted the C16 today at the LA Auto Show, which garnered the relatively small coach builder a lot of attention. The 16th built-to-order Callaway model in the company's history, the C16 is based on the Chevy Corvette C6 platform and adds a supercharger to the Vette's 6.0-liter LS2 V8. The blower increases the engine's power to 616 bhp and 582 ft-lbs. of torque, which makes for some impressive numbers. 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds. The quarter mile in 10.9 seconds. A top speed of 206 mph. And considering the green theme of this year's LA Auto Show, we should also mention the C16 gets 18mpg city/28 mpg highway. It's also compliant with GM's 5-year/100,000-mile warranty and supplemented by Callaway's own 5-year/100,00-mile warranty that covers Callaway-installed hardware. The design is classic Callaway, which should be expected from designer Paul Deutschman who has spent twenty years with the company. From many angles, however, the C16 is the spitting image of a last-gen Camaro. Like we said, classic Callaway. The price for a coupe is bit steep at $119,865, but that's not so bad for a hand-crafted 3.3-second car that gets 28 mpg and is backed with a manufacturer's warranty.
