SpaceGhost Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/news/a32505/callaway-corvette-aerowagon-in-person/ After almost four years of anxious waiting since its original announcement, Callaway has finally unveiled its Corvette AeroWagon shooting brake conversion in person. Just like the renders released back in 2013, Callaway has taken a stock C7 Corvette Coupe and elongated the roof, stretching it to the rear of the car. The result is a two-door shooting brake that makes for more practicality and extremely unique looks. The car pictured here is a Z06 model painted in Torch Red with some sweet aftermarket wheels. Despite the work needed to transform this C7 into a wagon, it looks clean enough to be factory-built. Callaway says the removable targa roof is still perfectly functional, and cargo space has increased significantly. Additionally, installation only takes a few hours, no fabrication is required, and it's totally removable. So for just $14,990, you too can turn your C7 into the ultimate two-seat road tripper. According to Callaway, deliveries for the AeroWagon were supposed to start in December of last year. Seeing as how this is the first time we've laid eyes on the C7 shooting brake in the flesh, the team might be a little behind schedule. But we can forgive them, because it looks awesome. Compare to White Zo6 to it's left. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyM3rC Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Ugh, groce. I guess if you want your C7 to look different than your subordinate's C7 and you forgot to option the Z07 package? Man, the guys at the corvette meets will really notice me now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BStowers023 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 So it provides slightly extra storage for $15k extra? K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Looks okay but not sure if it would be worth it. Depends on how much usable space is gained. WOuld need to see it on the inside. Another example to dovetail off the above: http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c106/Islands52/IslandS62SteelGrayMZ3jan2009.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Alex- Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 So it provides slightly extra storage for $15k extra? K Yes. Because that's what Corvette buyers are most concerned about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Its not helped by the terrible top down pictures and being taken on the shadow side... Guy must be new to pictures. I loved the concept, don't like it in red, nor the "sweet wheels". Z06 trim ruins the lines on this too, and it needs lowered. Overall 2/10 for execution. Edit: Doc's link below addresses everything I said above. Looked so cool, fail. Edited February 3, 2017 by Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I liked the original rendering better: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1744815&postcount=45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 It looks like there is very little difference in storage. I think that is everyone's (and my) beef with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Gump 9 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 It's weird but I'll drive it. Not $15k worth thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Are there any aero numbers to go along with this "amazing transformation", not my words or thoughts. I think it looks blah and for 15k it's a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 I'm more concerned about the changes in aerodynamics and NVH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
