World's first Corvette C5 Z06 entirely made of carbon fiber

Hello guys,

I'm so proud to introduce you the World's first Corvette C5 Z06 entirely made of carbon fibre and it is made in Greece.

The person who is behind the entire project is a very good friend of mine, involved with other motorsport projects too like the bikes which race in Isle Of Man TT,

About the Corvette, the target was simple. To make it lighter. After a long nights and and having a couple of drinks(!) the car was ready.

To be precise: After 3 months and 800 Hours of labour building the molds of all the OEM Corvettte Panels ( Doors, Bumpers, fenders, roof etc) the car was ready via Vac.Infusion Process.

Here is the building photos and the car after the completion.
