Italian Corvette Z06 (Castagna Aznom)

http://www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/2001/

Castagna has bolted a carbon fibre/aluminium frame on top, taking styling cues off the 'Vettes of the 50s and 60s to create a deep-vented, mad-grilled schoolboy fantasy.





Castagna has also fettled the Z06's seven-litre V8 up to a massive 750bhp, which should be good for a 0-60mph time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 217mph.
I wish they had stopped after the performance mods, which are quite impressive.

+1 and I thought the new vette's had already been beaten with the ugly stick... I guess it was just a matter of time for the swelling to kick in.

If that were a space ship used for interplanatery combat I would say it looks cool.

other than that.... shoot, I almost would take a Z4 over that...

No you can just keep your anti-Castagna Aznom member card.

You leave Aston's and you can't ever come back.
