Lifted C6 Corvette On Mud Tires Goes Where No Sports Car Should

  • The sports car sits on a set of aftermarket wheels with mud-terrain tires.
  • It’s unclear if the car has been converted to four-wheel drive or if it remains rear-wheel drive.

If you own a Chevy Corvette, chances are you may have considered modifying and upgrading it. Not only is there a huge aftermarket scene for the iconic American sports car, but it responds well to tweaks, whether you’re looking to turn it into a straight-line warrior for the drag strip or prepping it for use on a racetrack. However, we’re not sure how the Corvette responds to various off-road-focused modifications like those visible on this example.

This photo of a rather intriguing ‘Vette was recently shared online and it’s certainly one of the crazier ones we’ve come across. I mean, just look at those wheels.

The ‘Vette’s owner has jacked up the ride height of the car and ditched the standard wheels in favor of a set of shoes that’d be better suited to a big SUV or pickup truck. These wheels are clad in mud terrain tires and poke out several inches from the car’s fenders. It might look quite good with some aftermarket fenders to complement these new wheels, but, alas, it doesn’t have any.

As you can see in the Reddit post, the owner has also installed striking louvers over the rear window of the C6. Look closely, and you may also notice a ‘Trail Boss’ sticker on the rear quarter panel. The car has a license plate that reads ‘4x4C6’, but it’s unclear if the car has actually been converted to four-wheel drive as the plate would suggest. If it has, then that makes it much cooler.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a Corvette modified like this. Back in August 2022, we brought you the story of a C5-gen ‘Vette that was listed for sale on Marketplace after having its suspension raised and a set of beefy wheels and tires fitted.

Saw this posted elsewhere. Figured you lot would appreciate it.

Gearhead Nirvana: We Visit Porsche’s Atlanta Workshop Where Classics Get Reborn

Image
Maintaining any car is a duty that different owners approach in vastly different ways. For some, a few zip ties and a rattle can of spray paint is good enough. Far on the other end of the spectrum are owners like the ones who take their car to the Porsche Classic Center in Atlanta. During our trip there to see the new Macan EV in virtual reality , we had the opportunity to tour the Classic Center as it was deep in the midst of multiple repair and restoration projects.  To the owners of these cars and to the Porsche brand itself, what these mechanics, technicians, upholsterers, and painters are preserving is heritage. The center’s mantra “As good as new. But with even more character” is on display for anyone who visits the site.

The New Honda Prelude Will Be A Global Model, But It Won’t Be A Toyota GR 86

Image
Last month, Honda rolled out the red carpet for the the hybrid Prelude Concept , heralding the comeback of a historic name in the motoring world. Now, this car has been given the green light as a global model, set to cater to both right- and left-hand drive markets. However, it might not quite rev up to be the full-throttle sports car many enthusiasts were anticipating Despite being labeled a concept by Honda, the car presented at the Japan Mobility Show (JMS) looked quite production-ready. And if we know anything about Honda, they have a knack for unveiling thinly-disguised production cars as concepts. Take the last two Civics, for example. The 10th-gen Civic Concept was more or less the Civic coupe of that generation with a more aggressive stance and altered bumpers, while the 11th-gen Civic Prototype was virtually the same sedan that made it to production.

As Good As New Porsche 918 Spyder With Just 43 Miles Could Fetch $2 Million

Image
This Porsche 918 has been kept in a climate-controlled storage facility ever since it was delivered. The car is one of just four Hong Kong-spec 918s in existence. Driving the hypercar is a 4.6-liter V8 hybrid powertrain with 887 hp. A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder that has never been registered will be available at a Hong Kong auction running from April 2-5 and is expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2 million. The 918 Spyder launched as one of the ‘hypercar holy trinity’ alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. While there are many low-mileage examples out there, few are thought to have been driven less than this one. Over the past decade, it has been driven less than 70 km (43 miles) and has been owned by a single person in Hong Kong. It has also never been registered for road use. The listing doesn’t specify how the car has racked up 70 km without being registered. Read: This Porsche 918 Is One Of Just 2 With A Gulf Oil Livery Nevertheless, this car i...
