Pogea Racing attack a Chevrolet Corvette C1 1959

In its most powerful version, the gleaming Chevrolet Corvette C1 1959 was powered by a V8 engine of 315 horsepower.

Very recently, the happy owner of a 1959 Chevrolet Corvette has asked the German preparateur Pogea Racing to "modernize" its car fetish.

To do this, the German engineers have transformed the way his car is that it can be more efficient than the Chevrolet Corvette C6, in addition to normal several items of its geometry.

The changes include:

a frame reinforces a tubular structure,

Body color is Rosso Corsa Ferrari signed,

engine Corvette C6 whose power increases from 437 hp to 485,

a five-speed manual gearbox with ceramic clutch,

Four disc brakes ventilated and perforated (330 mm and 300 mm),

of calipers to 4 and 6 piston

two front wheels 18 "rear and 19"

Bridgestone Potenza tire size 265/40 and 305/30.

Although the interior presentation of this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette greatly rejuvenated respects almost entirely that of the original car, it did not prevent the preparateur discreetly add a screen for navigation on the center console there.
