ARES DESIGN FOR Corvette Stingray

ARES DESIGN FOR Corvette Stingray

Is there a more iconic American car than the Corvette Stingray? The first-generation Corvette was introduced in the 1950s but the historic Stingray moniker wasn’t used until the second generation (known as the C2) was unleashed in the 1960s. It is perhaps the most revered of all the Corvettes, representing the new-found freedom of the 1960s and it’s with this model that ARES chose to carry out this exquisite transformation.

The brief was to thoroughly bring the Stingray up to date with modern performance, road manners and interior appointments as well as fully restoring the Corvette in the process. The finished product is the result of over 3500 hours of work and a stunning one-off creation that showcases the entire range of ARES Design’s capabilities.
