Press Release) ICONIC CORVETTE GRAND SPORT REBORN
Glories of yesteryear were conceived when General Motors licensed a
Californian specialist sports car partnership in early 2009 to
resume production of the iconic Corvette Grand Sport, arguably GM's
most
prestigious track racer ever.
Duntov/Superformance LLC lost no time in turning opportunity into
reality, and Duntov immediately began production of the race version
of the 1963 Grand Sport, which has already raced and won a number of
events this year.
Now the street version of this popular 1960's muscle car will follow
with the series production of a Turn Key Minus chassis by
Superformance. The original Grand Sport - intended to be a "Cobra
Killer" - was built by General Motors under the watchful eyes of
Zora Arkus Duntov, GM's chief engineer at the time.
The value of a continuation model and that of a historic original is
encapsulated in its authenticity. Superformance went to great
lengths to ensure that the new street version would be as like the
original Grand Sport as two peas are in a pod, having acquired the
original blue prints and molds off the original #2 Grand Sport.
With only five originals ever built, the Superformance Grand Sport
will give buyers the opportunity to own a piece of GM's rich
history. What makes this street version an even more valuable
product is that it is licensed by its originators and that is not
only meant to be raced, but is equally at home as a daily driver.
The SPF Grand Sport will be available in a roadster or coupe version
and the technical originality is ensured by the legendary discipline
and precision that has made Superformance products the leading fully
assembled rolling chassis in the world.
Each SPF Grand Sport will be professionally engineered, custom
crafted and professionally assembled in the largest and most modern
privately owned specialist automotive manufacturing facility in the
world.
The design of the Grand Sport chassis enables owners to select their
drive trains from virtually any General Motors crate option
available. The first completed street version rollers will be
available in the US in mid 2010. Current orders can be placed
by calling (949) 900-1950 or sending an email
to info@superformance.com.
