Corvette based SV 9 Competizione is not your neighbor's Corvette

Rebodied Corvettes with Italian flair is a time honored tradition, one that was lost for many years but has recently gained steam again. Recent examples include the Castagna Aznom and Bertone Mantide, and now we have the SV 9 Competizione to add to the list.

The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione was clearly the inspiration for this Italian Corvette. Whether you love or hate the interesting front end styling, there's no doubt that this is a unique ride that will turn some heads. And all for a reasonable price of $99,995.

Once you get beyond the unique body work, there is more to see in the Competizione that differentiates it from a common Corvette. The interior is stitched up in a nice supple leather, and a new intake and exhaust result in a 14 horsepower boost that take the total horses up to 450 and take the car to 60 in a claimed four seconds flat and a 12 second quarter mile. A new set of wheels fitted with Pirelli Pzero Rosso tires help the car brake from 60 to 0 in 107 feet and 1.03g on the skidpad.

SV will allow you to choose from 25 exterior colors, 5 interior trims, and four wheel choices to further differentiate yourself from the other 1,000 owners, which is all they plan to produce.
