Anteros Sports Car 2011

Continuing a tradition of unique styling and impressive performance, the Anteros is built on the new 2009 Corvette platform and features a body reminiscent of iconic Italian designs. Built from modern lightweight carbon fiber, the Anteros is available with a variety of performance and appearance options. n2a Motors is taking orders for January 2009 deliveries.

The black convertible is built using a stock 2010 Corvette donor car, featuring the 430 hp/424 lb.-ft. torque LS3 V8 engine that gets 16 MPG city and 26 MPG highway. The silver coupe is based on a 2008 Corvette Z06 and is modified with Lingenfelter’s 630 horsepower performance package. All base models include a carbon composite body, hand-stitched leather interior, three-piece aluminum wheels, and a custom cat back exhaust. Chevrolet’s 100,000 mile power train warranty remains completely intact and the Anteros can be serviced at any GM dealership.

Each Anteros takes approximately 13 weeks to build from the time of order. N2A Motors starts by removing the donor Corvette's body panels and installing the new carbon-composite Anteros body, a process that takes nearly 800 hours for n2a’s coach building craftsmen to completes. The interior is entirely new with re-contoured leather seats, leather dash, Italian carpeting , and leather-wrapped interior panels, while the wheels and exhaust are removed and replaced with n2a’s custom-made component's. The turnkey Anteros Coupe starts at $149,500 and the Anteros Cars Convertible starts at $154,500. Anteros Coupes built on the Z06 platform start at $176,500. Performance packages ranging from 525-1000+ horsepower are available for an additional cost.

Inspired by the designs of the 1957, 58, and 59 Chevrolets, the 789 was hailed as "merely the coolest car…on the planet" by the New York Times.
