For those who own or are considering the purchase of a sixth generation Chevy Corvette, there is now the considerably redesigned seventh generation of this vehicle that is appearing on the scene. The seventh generation is getting rave reviews for its new body, rear taillights and other accessories that make it a dynamic addition to the Corvette line.

If this were an earlier time, owners of the sixth generation might be resigned to either sticking with their version or paying out big money to purchase the next generation. However, there is now the Supervettes SV8.R conversion kit on the market that will allow you to upgrade your current version. While it does require about $60,000, the result is you don’t have to buy the new version in total.

The new Supervettes SV8.R will work on any sixth generation Chevy Corvette from 2005 to 2013 and transform it into the new, modern Corvette design. There are a number of changes that this kit provides, including the following;

Carbon Fiber Body & Parts

20” Front/21” Rear Wheels

Interior Treatments

Brakes

Exhaust

Lighting

Body Paint

However, the new Supervettes SV8.R will retain the classic four round taillights while expanding the overall width of the vehicle by roughly 5”. The conversion kit is well packaged, though if you are not experienced with this type of remodeling, then it is recommended that you have professionals perform the work.

The addition of carbon fiber elements will certainly make the vehicle even lighter which in turn will create better overall performance. Plus, carbon fiber is more impact resistant than traditional metals which means that it will take less damage in low-speed accidents. The inclusion of new brakes, exhaust and lighting will help improve the overall performance as well.

The interior treatments are mostly rumored for the kits that will soon be released after the first five have been made available. However, the inclusion of these new treatments will up the overall price to roughly $65,000. For those who can order quickly and get one of the first five kits, they can save $5000 on the price.

Reportedly, there will be different body paint versions available so you can choose the color of your new vehicle. This will certainly appeal to those who want to pick the colors of their choosing for this ambitious conversion kit. It does seem that no stone has been left unturned in the creation of this kit which should appeal to owners of the sixth generation Corvette.

This Supervettes SV8.R conversion kit is certainly impressive and one of the most ambitious on the market today. By allowing current sixth generation Corvette owners to upgrade, they can save themselves some money while still having the latest wheels on the road. However, it must also be said that the 2014 Corvette Stingray will cost less than the conversion kit which means that you can simply trade in your old model and get the new Stingray version for less money.
