2009 Specter Corvette GTR

FOX · 3 Weeks Ago

The latest Corvette GTR by Specter Werkes/Sports debuts Nov. 3 at the annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Distinguished by its unique, BASF Pearl Blue exterior color and HRE CF40 carbon fiber wheels, the newest GTR will be on display outside the Las Vegas Convention Center's Central Hall, as a feature vehicle for HRE.

Based on the Corvette Z06, this new GTR also represents a collaboration between Specter Werkes and Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, with a Lingenfelter twin-turbo system powering the car – and pumping its 7.0-liter LS7 engine to 800 horsepower.

"Specter GTRs have been featured at SEMA for many years and we're excited to debut the most unique example to date at this year's show," said Jeff Nowicki, president of Specter Werkes/Sports. "From the BASF pearl paint and HRE carbon wheels, to the Lingenfelter engine, there's never been a GTR like this one and we think it will resonate with sports car enthusiasts of all stripes."

Featuring dramatic bodywork and carbon fiber details, the GTR blends racing-inspired design cues with uncompromising luxury and performance. The Specter Werkes/Sports GTR package is available on all C6 Corvette models, including the base coupe and convertible, the Z06 and ZR1. The new, Pearl Blue example's carbon fiber wheels and other carbon accents are complemented by a matte black rear fascia.

The use of HRE carbon fiber wheels is a first on a GTR. They weigh only 22 pounds apiece and are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 Zero Pressure tires. Additional features on the new GTR include:

* StopTech STR big-brake package, featuring six-piston front calipers and four-piston rear calipers
* Mobil 1 synthetic fluids
* Corsa exhaust system with GTR-specific exhaust tips
* Spinneybeck hand-tipped leather interior accents
* Matte-finish carbon fiber accents, including the headlamp housing, front splitter, outside mirrors and more

Specter Werkes/Sports is an automotive prototype and fabrication facility based in Troy, Mich. It specializes in race-proven engine performance enhancements and creating specialty accessories for the C5 and C6 Corvette, the Cadillac CTS and more.

That body kit looks stange somehow

Zpectre · 3 Weeks Ago

It looks a bit overdone but I'd own one.

TwinTurboGTR · 2 Weeks Ago

Damn, I want that! That is kickass!

nfslover101 · 2 Weeks Ago

That is one nice car, I want to see it in orange though...
EDIT: Do not want the pure black rear end.

Myojinoir · 2 Weeks Ago

Uhu.. right.
I think this could do OK in a Le Mans, but uhh, no thanks.

t3ku · 2 Weeks Ago

I like the sides, hood and.... ya

Front bumper no.

Stevo Blazevski · 2 Weeks Ago

I love the paint job and the rims, but those exhaust tips...

GTR · 2 Weeks Ago

Looks like something out of NFS Most Wanted.

The exhausts look super tacky. For the most part though, it's just ****ing badass.

KF72 · 2 Weeks Ago

I'd do it

Oh wait,

Thats not what he was asking.

Looks cool..... I guess.

Primus · 2 Weeks Ago

^ Straight up to GTR.

The kit looks OK, although I'm not digging that front bumper - it looks like a snowplow. Exhausts are ridiculous. Why anyone would sport those exhausts on a car is beyond me. I'm digging the color, though and the performance is great.

Overall, I'd drive it.

P.S. is just me, or do those front rotors look tiny? How is that even an upgrade when it looks like something out of a base model GM? Cross-drilled, slotted, 6-piston calipers, ceramic compound or GTFO.

Ecstasic Seraphim · 2 Weeks Ago

Do, did, done.

Zpectre · 2 Weeks Ago

Did no one notice the taillights look exactly like those from the Camaro?

Ricochet · 2 Weeks Ago

What's with that red trim below?

Yeah I was talking to a few friends of mine about that lol.

Ark-X Stylizer · 2 Weeks Ago

It looks nice except for those Exhausts.

Indigo · 2 Weeks Ago

Give it new taillights and a body color ass and we'll talk.

Beautiful start, though.

GT5 · 2 Weeks Ago

It looks like it's too much to handle. A bit over done yes?

Nfspeed26 · 2 Weeks Ago

Wow And I thought the ZR1 was freaking awesome, But this is just kick ass

Nice choice of name too.

Mr. Sting Ray · 2 Weeks Ago

Exhaust tips be damned! I'd have it in my garage in an instant if possible.

2-Edge · 2 Weeks Ago

Nah, I don't like it, it looks bit overdone... ZR1 looks way better.

Exotic Lover · 2 Weeks Ago

The hood and the front bumper seem to be terrible at the way it looks due to the increased amount of area comparing to the original corvette, but I can see there is reasons to have the bodykit to be formed that way when it comes to the aerodynamic effects. I'll take the corvette GTR for racing purposes.
