Their ‘Corvette Z03 Concept’ is a carbon fiber supercar that leaves no area of the Corvette’s performance untouched. Beyond the striking carbon fibre body, modifications are made to the engine suspension and interior.


This is the first project to come from Ugur Sahin Design which was founded in the summer of 2007 by Axel van Mourik and Ugur Sahin. They plan to position themselves in the high end market of limited edition vehicles that utilize existing manufacturer’s chassis...

It looks like a cross between a C3 'Vette and a Ferrari 360, with a little 599GTB thrown in.

I like it! The styling might make for a nice halo car for another GM division.

Doesn't this remind you of a GM concept car from the 1960's?

Reminds me of a C3.

IMO the grill in the front should be solid all the way across and the back should be flatter.

Considering all the threads we have here about Pontiac and it's focus or lack there of, I wouldn't mnd seeing something along these lines produced. It'd be nice for pontiac to actually produce great cars again.

Wasn't the C3 influenced by the Banshee? Sure looks like it.
