American special cars maker n2a Motors has revealed the first information and design sketches of the Stinger, a sportscar based on the C6 Corvette and inspired by the '63-'67 Corvettes. Production will start on October 2009.

N2a Motors Stinger Design Sketchn2a Motors is a company specialized in the construction of special custom-made vehicles with the goal of "reviving the art of American coachbuilding."

The Stinger pays homage to the historic 2nd generation Corvette (1963-67) with a sleek, carbon-composite body featuring the front end and hood scoop from the 1967 Corvette, a mid-section reminiscent of a '65 Corvette, and the famous split-window rear end of the '63 Corvette.

Based on the 2009-2010 Corvette C6 chassis, the Stinger achieves 0-60 in 4.3 seconds with a 430 hp/424 lb.-ft. torque LS3 V8 engine rated at 16 MPG city and 26 MPG highway.

Since the chassis and safety equipment remain unmodified, GM's 100,000 mile powertrain warranty remains completely intact and the Stinger can be serviced at any GM dealership.

n2a Motors starts by removing the donor Corvette's body panels and installing the new carbon-composite Stinger body, a process that takes over 800 hours for n2a's coachbuilding craftsmen to complete.

n2a Motors has reserved serial numbers 001,002, and 003 for ZR1-based Stingers. Featuring the 638-hp LS9 engine, the ZR1 is the fastest and most powerful Corvette ever produced.

Stingers built on the ZR1 platform sprints from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 205+ mph.

Serial numbers 004-010 are reserved for Z06-based Stingers, which are 505 hp with a 0-60 time of just 3.7 seconds.

The company is currently accepting deposits, with first deliveries expected in January 2010.
