CARAVAGGIO - Caravaggio Corvettes has announced the stunning new Unica Series 1, a limited-edition sports car with an elegant, redesigned carbon fiber body based on the Stingray and ZO6 C8 Corvette. Only 30 of the gorgeous cars will be hand-built and documented for future collectability.
“We’ve
made the Corvette a blank canvas for owners to design and build the one-off car
of their dreams since 1986,” said John Caravaggio, founder and CEO of
Caravaggio Corvettes. “Our new Unica Series 1 is a natural evolution for
Caravaggio Corvettes. We will offer 30 carbon fiber bodied C8 Corvettes with a
sophisticated design that builds upon the current car’s design. The reimagined
car has organic styling that combines the best of American sports car culture
with the cultured lines of a European exotic.”
A
Canadian custom car manufacturing company specializing in Corvettes, John
Caravaggio has been creating bespoke custom versions of the American sports car
for almost four decades. His shop, truly a North American Carrozzeria offers
handcrafted interiors and exteriors, along with performance upgrades for the
Corvette. Each car is a work of art that was completely individualized from top
to bottom.
Caravaggio
Corvette guides clients to add their own personality and tastes to every
element of their vehicle. They can choose from an unlimited amount of interior
and exterior options including fabrics, leathers, carbons, colors and finishes.
Performance upgrades range from a supercharger, Brembo brakes, additional
cooling, various wheels and engine tuning. Each car will wear special badges
that proudly identifies it as a Caravaggio Unica Series 1 Corvette.
“While
we’re creating the first numbered and documented series in our history, no two
cars will be alike,” said Caravaggio. “Each client will have a private
consultation with me to create the Unica Series 1 C8 Corvette that matches
their personality and taste. We will personalize their exterior color and wheel
choices, bespoke the interior and choose any performance upgrades. The result
will be a one-off car designed and built in the tradition of the great custom
coach builders in Europe.”
Not
only does the carbon fiber body give Caravaggio Corvettes the opportunity to
restyle the C8, it slices approximately 40 pounds off the car. To make the
Unica Series 1 Corvettes even more special, five of them can be optioned with
the carbon fiber body in a European exposed weave. This will give the C8 an
exotic finish that will impress anyone who spies it.
Almost
any color in the world is available for the Caravaggio Unica Series 1 C8
Corvette, limited only by a client’s imagination and paint manufacturer. Custom
stripes can be painted on the sleek car and clear coated to ensure clean and
precise edges throughout the design.
Interior
choices for the Unica Series 1 C8 include full handcrafted leather, bold colors
for seats and stitching, matte carbon pieces and Alcantara accents. The
interior can include stripes or badging that mirrors the exterior. Thumb grips
can be added to the steering wheel, which gives a look and feel comparable to
European exotics.
MSRP
for the Unica Series 1 Caravaggio Corvette package starts at USD$110,000, not
including the base Stingray or ZO6 C8. Orders for the 30 limited edition Unica
Series 1 Caravaggio Corvettes are being accepted and production of the cars
will begin in the second quarter of 2022. Each masterpiece will be custom
designed, built, tested and documented at the company’s facility in Concord,
Ontario, Canada.
In
addition to building exotic, custom versions of the C8 Corvette for clients
worldwide, Caravaggio also offers a full line of late-model Corvette parts and
customizes C5-C8 Corvettes.
