As desirable as a Ferrari can be – not everyone is lucky enough to be able to own one. Especially when an example like the FF (FerrariFour) will set you back nearly $300,000… before options. However, if you are into the whole shooting brake persona, American tuner Callaway may have a fix for your lust. In fact, it might even be a lot more better looking!
Famous for super fast Corvettes in the States; Callaway has given the new Corvette Stingray C7 a whole newly reworked butt, giving the shooting brake design a run with the absolutely stunning C7. Only out in the market for a couple of months, however Callaway has been rendering their Vette Wagon concept since late last year, and they released a simple teaser of what their design studio thinks a Corvette wagon would look like.
Dubbed the AeroWagon, the company has recently given the green light to put this design study into production. Set to alter the definition of shooting brake, the car will posses structural materials in carbon fibre to ensure the strength and rigidity of the chassis, whilst keeping the weight down. Callaway says that the performance of the AeroWagon will not differ far from the standard C7, and added that it will do just over 200mph. A question mark there since the standard iteration only does 190mph. Callaway has yet to release any performance figures on the AeroWagon, however understanding Callaway’s history with Vettes, like the 900bhp Sledgehammer – there will probably be some works on the performance figures of the AeroWagon.
The C7 Stingray is powered by General Motor’s 6.2-litre normally-aspirated V8, which produces a descent 455bhp and 624nm. Only been on sale a couple of months, however the C7 Stingray has received an amazing response from the market which has created a stir for General Motors. Despite spending over $130million to upgrade their plant in Kentucky, the demand is higher than their production capacity, thus causing a 6-months waiting list on the Corvette C7 Stingray.
So your lust for this AeroWagon may not be as easy as buying one from Callaway themselves. The tuning company will offer C7 customers the AeroWagon upgrade for $22,995, on top of the C7 price tag of $54,795 (without options) and a premium price tag ranging from $15,000 to $20,000, if you wish to jump the waiting list. However, we reckon, a shy of $100,000 is still a saving of $200,000 from the Ferrari FF. And it looks absolutely stunning!
