Pogea Racing updates 1959 Corvette

This Corvette unites classic automobile design in balance with the latest in modern vehicle technology.

“Within the space of only one year we developed, produced and adapted current technology to fit in an American Old timer. Our objective was to marry contemporary driving characteristics, a terrifically powerful engine, dependable brakes and a refined vehicle interior with classic bodywork.”

Power comes from a 6.2-liter V8 engine which has been equipped with larger fuel injectors, a high-flow air filter and a sports exhaust system. Thanks to these tweaks, the engine produces 485 PS (357 kW / 478 hp) and 585 Nm (431 lb-ft) of torque. With these modifications, the completely reconditioned Classic puts out excellent performance: from 0 – 100 kms/h in a mere 3.9 seconds and with a top speed of 288 kms/h, the two-seater is decidedly superior to the original basic model.
