Roba di un amatore comunque, o ha qualcosa di "ufficiale"?

Da Motor Authority:

Taking inspiration from an old and applying it to a new chassis is nothing new in the automotive world - one need only look to the new , Challenger and even the Mustangf or prime examples. But the combination of C2 corvette body and C6 Corvette chassis envisioned by a company called Blue Fusionhas the potential to create a car several orders of magnitude more impressive than any of the mass-produced examples mentioned above. Provided it ever gets built, that is.

So far the Rossi 66, as the car is named, is nothing more than a particularly enticing collection of pixels. However, it is planned for construction, though the designers may need to take a closer look at their facts before moving ahead with the project. The car is named for the “1966 C2 split window Corvette”, but unfortunately, the split-window ‘Vette was a 1963 model, not a ‘66, and the feature was discontinued in 1964 for safety reasons. Rossi 63 doesn’t have quite the same ring, and such failure in attention to detail may not bode well for the project’s future.

The company is aiming to have a finished product ready for the SEMA show this November, with design near completion and tooling to start next month. Blue Fusion is still looking for investors, however, so cash flow issues could potentially hamstring the project.

E' un carrozziere indipendente.

Mah, a prima vista mi lascia parecchio freddino. Soprattutto perchè ha proporzioni che non centrano nulla con l'auto a cui si ispira, mentre dettagli e grafiche sono ripresi in modo così pedissequo e poco ragionato che sembrano perdere significato.

La Sting Ray riproposta in chiave moderna!

E' il pedissequo che mi seduce Rega Le estetiche degli ultimi 10 anni mi fanno vomitare. Tutte. Non ce n'è una che mi piace. Forse per i miei venerandi 47 anni...

La ditta che la vorrebbe produrre si chiama BLUE FUSION.

Questo il loro comunicato stampa. Mi sembra che diversi siti li prendano per il culo perchè hanno sbagliato anno parlando di Corvette 1966 mentre la 'split window' è del 1963-64.

PS: Mi accorgo ora che dicono sia un PhotoSiop e si stanno dannando per preparare il prototipo per l'esposizione SEMA.

We are pleased to introduce to the Corvette enthusiasts of the world, the new Rossi 66. Taking the most graceful lines of the 1966 C2 split window Corvette, we have crafted an entirely new body designed and engineered specifically for the current C6/Z06/ZR1 platform. We believe the result speaks for itself! The Rossi 66 was entirely designed and engineered digitally and is the culmination of nearly 100 years of combined experience amongst three of the most experienced automotive designer, sculptor, and engineer in the business. Emphasis added...this is NOT a kit car!

The Rossi 66 will be built to order from a new C6, a C6/Z06/ZR1 or a customer supplied C6 donor chassis to be transformed in our own facilities. The initial offering is a three door coupe with a fully functioning convertible to be developed in the near future. Along with those two variants, there will also be various stages of Sport and Competition versions up to and including a GT2 class type for full on-track racing applications.

As we all know, the substantial capabilities of the C6 chassis and the vast respective tuning suppliers will allow infinite possibilities for a broad range of customer tastes. Partnership with these existing C6 tuners may be negotiated in the future. Also offered from Rossi will be custom designed one-piece/multi-piece light weight Rossi forged wheels, Rossi big brake kits, Rossi custom exhaust system, Rossi appointed interior trims and seating along with many other custom accessories designed specifically for this brand.

The parent corporation, Blue Fusion, has been a Tier One surfacing supplier for Ford Motor Company for over 15 years and is both ISO9001 and Ford Q1 certified (higher than ISO rating scale). Production tolerances will be of the highest in the automotive industry. This includes Class-A surfacing and the fit and finish will be competitive with the best of modern production releases.

Our debut target is to introduce a full running production vehicle to be displayed at SEMA 2008 (investment capitol dependent). The design is near completion and tooling is set to begin next month in September. Investment opportunities are available so if this of interest to someone you know, please don't hesitate to spread the news. The Rossi 66 is available for orders as of today!

L'originale :

Prima o poi metterò mano al mio Kit Revell scala 1/8 della bella.....peccato che il kit fà un pò schifo ma circa 60 cm di modello fanno la loro porca figura......

E' il pedissequo che mi seduce Rega

[Maxwell61]

A me un lavoro così poco organico e poco "pensato" seduce quanto la Nissan Micra messa giù a questa maniera.

Anzi, la Micra mi seduce di più, per ora.

Confermo che è solo un rendering.
