Update: Specter Werkes unveils new C6 Corvette GTR
Posted on Monday 28 July 2008
Updated: After several months waiting for the new generation of Specter Werkes extreme Corvette GTR, based on the C6 version of the car, the Michigan-based company has let the car into the wild. A unique and flamboyant interpretation of the Corvette’s basic shape, the Specter Werkes GTR mixes custom bodywork with a distinctly American take on supercar muscle.
The company says many levels of engine tune will be available, but the first is based on a stroked LS3, up from the standard 6.2L to 6.8L. Combined with a tune, it’s good for 535hp (398kW) and 530lb-ft (719Nm) of torque, thanks in part to a Corsa exhaust. The car also gets a full widebody treatment, with broadened suspension and a wider covering. Special Forgeline VR3P wheels, measuring 19 x 11in in the front and 20 x 12in in the rear provide ample room for the huge 285/30ZR19 front and 335/25ZR20 rear Michelin Pilot Sport 2 Zero Press tires.
Stop Tech 15in slotted brake discs and six pistons up front mate with 14in and four piston calipers in the rear for abundant stopping power, lap after lap. The car is painted in BASF liquid silver color, while the inside gets GTR-standard embroidered seats and Spinneybeck leather trim details. Like the last version, the Corvette GTR package carries a base price of $34,995, with more custom work available for a premium. All GTRs are custom-built to order and carry documentation and identification to that effect.
Original: Michigan-based Specter Werkes has announced plans for its new C6-based Corvette GTR, the successor to the limited-edition C5 GTR program launched almost a decade ago. Designed as a styling and performance upgrade for the sporty Chevy, the new GTR package is available on the full lineup including the base coupe and convertible, Z06 and even the new ZR1.
The package includes exposed carbon fiber details on the exterior, a new front fascia, carbon fiber splitter, extractor hood, front fenders, doors, rocker panels, rear fenders, rear fascia, a carbon fiber rear diffuser and custom paint schemes.
Other extras include carbon highlights in the headlamps, new taillights, 335mm Michelin Pilot Sport 2 Zero tires in the rear and 285mm rubber up front, forged HRE wheels measuring 20in, a carbon engine dress up kit, GTR embroidered seats and a full stainless steel exhaust system.
The Corvette GTR package carries a base price of $34,995, with a variety of high-performance powertrain options available for additional cost. Production is expected to begin this spring, with each vehicle hand-built, numbered and fully documented for the customer.
