Corvette C6.BlackforceOne, by German tuners Loma Performance

This is one Bada$$ vette....
Germans from Loma Performance have unveiled a tunned Corvette C6, with a particulary dark look and mean specs. Dubbed the “BlackForceOnce”, this mean machine is one of the best tunes we’ve seen this year, both when it comes to the design and the monster under the hood. With hopes that the name will spark no racism debate, we continue the article on the BlackForceOnce Corvette by Loma Performance…

The inspiration is not not a bad choice. I mean, Nike did it and no one pointed at them “You’re lame!”, did they? (I mean the Air Force 1 Nike sportsshoes, killers btw google them if you wish..). We don’t know if this one will carry any President (thought I’d like to see some of their faces at 200 mph), like the Air Force 1, but we know for sure anyone driving it will feel Royal. The base model Corvette C6 (hot trivia: Introduced in 2005, it is the first Corvette to contain exposed headlamps since the C1 generation, which was produced until 1962) was pumped and redisigned to becom a true Force One on wheels… a Black Force One!

Force One cause the engine was twin-turbocharged to gush out some 783 horsepower (794 PS), from the basic C6, out of which real engine-reaching power is 666 hp (675 PS). Coincidence or not, this makes the car even more interesting… You reach 62 mph / 100 kmh in 3.4 seconds, making it one hell of a fast car. Top speed 205 mph (330 km/h). But could the standard-body of the Corvette stand this fury? We don’t want to find out nor do we need too as Loma Performance offers in the BlackForceOne: carbon-ceramic discs on stock brakes, suspension, wheels, tires, exhaust and the entire drivetrain redone with newer better materials. Sport tires from Michelin Sport Cup that are 275/30R19 in front and 335/25R20 out back have been mounted on the BlackForceOne. They’re mounted on 10 x 19 and 12 x 20-inch shining black OZ Racing Ultraleggera HLT alloy wheels. More can be read in the Press Release, down after the Photo Gallery of the BlackForceOne.

The exterior is what you’d expect from some crazy Euros messing around with a Corvette. The car was widened from 179cm to more than two meters at the rear, to make it more Bat-mobile looking. You can choose from three matte paint finishes, all looking devilish though I must admit I prefer the black one. Take a look at the photo gallery and decide for yourself.

Price for all-included full-house extra-topping is a bit under 200K Euros. No comments here…
Well, till the C7 appears, this is probably the hottest Corvette on Earth. Only 25 C6.BlackForceOnes will be designed, so if you think you should have one contact the guys over at Loma Performance right away. The BlackForceOne debuts officialy at the Essen Motor Show.
