This C2 Chevy Corvette Will Soon Have The V10 Of A Lamborghini Gallardo

An insane C2 Chevrolet Corvette powered by a Lamborghini V10 will soon see the light of day.

The vehicle in question has been designed by Indian artist Karan Adivi and will be brought to life by Corruptt Builds that has previously created a Ford Mustang with the engine of a Ferrari F430. The aim is to unveil the car at the SEMA Show in 2023, meaning it is still in its early stages.

Renderings released of the car reveal that’s its bodywork will be comprehensively modified. At the front end, for example, Adivi has designed a unique bumper with angular lines and a much more muscular shape than the bumper found on a typical C2 Corvette. A set of thin LED headlights are also featured.

Significant changes have also been made to the rear of the Corvette which just so happens to be a rare split-window example. Most notably, the car will sport a bespoke LED taillight array and light bar that help to give it a more modern look. It has also been imagined with a set of bronze wheels.

As for the engine, it takes the form of a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 from a 2014 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 and while the shop has previously build a Ferrari-powered Mustang, it says making this Lamborghini-powered Corvette will be much more difficult.

Speaking in a video detailing the project, the builder reveals the engine has been equipped with the manifold from a Huracan Performante and plans to run it on E85.
