The C12, an original complete car based on the C5 Corvette, was built by Callaway, who have been deeply involved with Chevrolet from its beginnings. Announced in 1999, it went on sale in 2000.
The Callaway C12 skillfully utilized the independent frame characteristics of the Corvette, and made its appearance with totally new body panels given a classical modern theme. It looks nothing like the original.
The body is constructed with a high level of precision, and there are many new features such as LSD multi-monitors in the interior that draws a line between the C12 and the standard model.
The mechanical components in the vehicle are tuned based on the C5 Corvette, and the maximum output of the LS1 has been raised to 432 HP.
