Callaway Cars turns Corvette Stingray into AeroWagon

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

The first Corvette upgrade from Callaway Cars came in 1987 as an option from select dealers. The Vettes would go to Old Lyme, Conn. for the conversion, straight from the factory in Bowling Green, Ken. Callaway added twin-turbochargers, upgraded internals and all of the ducting and cooling needed for the intercoolers. This week, the company was gauging interest in its latest idea.

The Callaway AeroWagon is a shooting-brake-style vehicle based on the C7 Corvette Stingray. The company says it will produce the car if demand is sufficient. Callaway is currently taking orders for the vehicle at a price near $15,000 on top of the cost of a C7 Corvette. If produced, the AeroWagon would hit the streets at about the same time as the new Stingray.

In its release, Callaway says the AeroWagon will top 200 mph, which means that the Stingray’s 6.2-liter won’t be enough. We have two ideas on how they’ll solve that problem: turbo and turbo.

The body of the AeroWagon will be manufactured using resin-transfer molding, which produces carbon parts in one step.

The Stingray’s lines lend itself perfectly to the shooting brake shape. It looks much like the Ferrari FF, with a few more sharp angles. We’d also bet that the Corvette club guys would love this car, considering it has enough space to take a week’s worth of luggage for two people, instead of a weekend.
