Geiger Corvette C7 Stingray Supercharged to 590 Horsepower

As far as the tuning world is concerned, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is one of the sweethearts of the biz. On this occasion, Geiger Cars of Germany gave the American bruiser a few go-faster and visual upgrades, with the end result looking like a land-attack missile.

 

 
 

That striking BMW M4-like exterior finish, known as "Motor Sport Gold" in Geiger Cars jargon, is a hefty €6,000. Add a little carbon fiber bits and bobs here and there, including a front splitter, side flaps, rear underbody, diffuser, side skirts, spoiler and so on and you're looking at another €6,652. But the list of mods doesn't end with these visual enhancements.

Under the bonnet there lies the same 6.2-liter vee eight we all know and love, but there's an Eaton supercharged bolted on top of it, increasing the factory oomph by 130 hp and 145 Nm for a total of 590 ponies and 757 Nm of tire-shredding torque. If you're wondering how much the blower is priced at (including installment), that will be "just" €15,500.



You want Geiger 19 and 20-inch forged wheels and a KW coil over suspension kit that lowers the ride height? That'll be €6,500 and €3,900, respectively. With a €75,000 sticker price for a base Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the car you can admire in the photo gallery below is selling for a whopping €113k, which translates to $145,080 at current rates. That's a lot of money even for European fans of the Vette with a fat bank acocunt, more so when a Forgiato widebody Chevy Corvette C7 is going for $150,000.
