Ugur Sahin and Mallett team up to create 999 hp Corvette


Ugur Sahin has recently penned a modern interpretation of the Ferrari Dino, and last year put out some renderings of his own version of a Corvette dubbed the Z03. Now the Z03 has at least come to light.

The car has undergone a few styling changes between paper and reality. The base engine is a supercharged LS3 producing 700 horsepower. An optional engine sports twin turbos and generates a ridiculous 999 hp.

Converting just the bodywork of your standard C6 into a Z03 will set you back $69,000, not including the price of the donor car. Engine upgrades will run $32,700 for the 700-hp, supercharged version and $35,795 for the 999-hp, twin-turbo ($3,095 more for 299 more horsepower? Sign us up).

PRESS RELEASE

UgurSahinDesign Mallett Z03

"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. Every body part will be precision engineered by the state of the art engineering equipments to ensure the maximum build quality.

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.
