  • Why would you do this to a car like the ZR-1? The ZR-1 is perfect in every way! I would understand if you would like to do this to a Civic but why a ZR-1?

  • rear end = troll face

  • soooo beautiful!!

  • Please bertone, stop making cars. They are some of the ugliest vehicles ive ever seen. Your creations look like something I drew when I was in middle school. Sometimes simple is better. It looks absolutely awful.

  • you people, i mean, MEN! we love cars and shit, but dont try to tell me that a mercedes benz worth 150,000€ is worse than your corvette..besides, that thing can barely hold its shit on a tight turn

  • @ 1 through9athrewz: do you think american cars are good??? who the fuck is driving a dammed dodge or a chevy ??? they have so big engines and no power :P look a BMW M6 has 500hp with only 5000ccm and a dodge viper has 500hp too but with 8000ccm!!! american cars suck :D

  • @Nuze66 my friend, you just made my day

  • @Nuze66 The viper is an awful example for one. Also the vipers make 600horse now, so get your facts straight. But also try pushing the same amount of power out of that ///M engine under boost. Those viper motors are giant, but they can push 1500horse on a single turbo all day everyday. Look at other cars to, like the Venom, makes 1200 horse out of a 6200ccm. The bugatti takes 8000ccm and 4 turbo's just to make 1000. So please dont try to sound smart and insult when you use bad facts.

  • @p10ghost

    That might be right with the Venom, but the Bugatti is build to last 10 or 20 years and since it is german it will. The Venom is like all the other american cars, just build for the moment. You can't compare any car to the Bugatti Veyron, because it is so special. And the Super Sport version would make absolute mincemeat of the Venom!

  • So im buying 98 model corvette , putting some fibers scale on it and seling for 2 million dollars thanks.

  • corvette zr-1..........you are the father!

  • don't get me wrong, this is an amazingly good looking car, but the back is so much more iconic, memorable, and original than the front. the front isn't bad by any means, but it's just that...i guess...the back looks like a futuristic space ship, with jet turbo thrusters, and it has this crazy window, and crazy taillights and that huge gaping hole thing. and the front is like...idk its painfully generic, which "nice" headlights, and its just sort of shaped like a regular car.

  • @maikeru01 i totally agree with you the back is so amazing bt when i saw the front i was like ok nice, kinda reminds me of the mexican mastretta car..anyway its absolutely not as breath taking as the back!

  • it may be more aerodynamic but it's ugly.... very ugly not a problem with the Vette... :D

  • the ZR1 just got a new body thats it, European F*CKS cant build a car of their own, so they have to use the AMERICAN ZR1 and just put a new "more areodynamic" body on it, to go after the ZR1 record @ Nurburging... PISS OFF, BLOODY WANKERS!!!!

  • @Chevymulisha85 the funny thing is,,EUROPEANS MAKE BETTER CARS THAN AMERICANS.. that's a fact..it makes me laugh to see egotistical yanks failing at car building and having to realise the fact theres something in the world they are not good at lol

  • @megabowzer100 but it has the zr1 engine so you=fail

  • @1through9athrewz how the fuck does that relate to my comment..this car has the entire underpinnings of the zr1,so what..look what the europeans did to it..made it a thousand times better looking lol and this prick at the top saying "european fucks cant build a car of there own",,ferrari,porsche,,lamborg­ini,,audi,,bmw..the list of great european cars is endless so you and this other yank prick = DOUBLE FAIL lol

  • @megabowzer100 lol this is one of the ugliest cars ever created. have u seen its rear end???

  • NICE!

  • now thats one ugly ass car :S

  • Just bought one on Forza 3 :DD

  • where the fuck did you put the mirrors?

    looks ugly to me, sorry but it totally ruins the car. I'm dissapointed.

  • @pundipedal the mirrors are on the A-piller

    

  • @pundipedal the mirrors are on the A-pillar

  • Now that's an ass. 

  • 3:36 the song that started there was M83 - lower your eyelids to die with the sun

  • the mantide is on the same chassis and has the same engine as the zr1

  • The theme song really makes this the best part of the whole series. lol

  • Process is so cool!

  • yes but will it blend?

  • this is like the ultimate car or something

  • LOL i don't like it, the back is butt ugly, and the rims suck

  • Does it fucking matter where the designer is from? Christ... This car is bad ass no matter where he is from

  • Idk why would they a record with this car on the nurburgring it's made of parts put together and the body is made of plaster it looks good but whats the point it's more of a tease like a chick with plastic boob surgery you know it's fake plastic but it looks kinda good

  • @Dalit5 Yes.But there is a way to stereotype an american car,because american automobiles were designed for the higways and freeways of america,they took a diff evolution path.This made them distinct in both their performance(v8s' high horspower)and design as against european sportscars which focussed on single lane backroad driving mostly.They valued power to weight ratio and handling more.American automobile of the 50/60/70s had strong sales!They were unlike anything else and popular thus!!

  • @Dalit5 You do not understand what i meant.He has Italian ethnicity and tastes is what I meant...what you just said is common knowledge.It does not matter where you are born.If you look at what Italians do,it involves originality.red shoes for example,they are a non conformist culture and that fosters creativity..Its not because he is american,american cars are no longer original,if they get made that is!

    Italy allows dual citizenship if that helps and american is not an ethnicity xcpt natives!

  • @Dalit5 Italian american...

  • Jason castriota is Italian-American.An italian with american citizenship,what does that mean? he has Italian taste/abilities/creativity in design and that is displayed in the bertone mantide.Originality yes,but good taste? I don't think so.American cars have neither.

  • They should have stopped the rear arch at tail light line, or ditch it all together!

  • Song name:

    she wants revenge - save your soul

  • love it, and it absolutely isnt terrible like most fat amaricans think here, but its a great concept, some litle failures like the front and the shape of the wheelcase but the rest is epic.

  • @joshshoot

    You do know that's a EuroAmerican car, right?

  • @Idoloish i know its based on the Zr1 wich is a great car to, but this one is made and designed by a italian guy, and most of the time amaricans just want brute force and rough shapes.

  • @joshshoot

    It's not based on the ZR1. It IS a ZR1 (same chassis and motor, and probably some other shared components as well) with different styling.

  • What song is this?

  • Not the most beautiful car. But surely the most cool and original.

  • Bertone style...love it  !!!!

  • okay I might be totally wrong with this so please correct me if I am. this car is basically a Chinese knock-off of the Corvette right?

  • 3 words - Best Car Ever. Good Song 2!

  • lol at the zr1 wheels. Funny how so many cars are based on it now; the Devon GTX, the Spada Codatronca, and now this. Also, the Spada is Italian. Interesting.

  • What song is this?

  • l'unica cosa buona della valle susa

  • The back kinda ruins it, but i'd put a teeth in the back to scare children.

  • they should integrate a big LCD tv into a rear bumper.. :D

  • the back it's more like stold from the citroen GT

  • looks like some jackass decided to slap on a cylone mask in the back..

  • That is the ugliest piece of shit i've ever seen!

  • abortion

  • 1:30 iron man's garage?

  • This car looks awesome

  • thats to much...

    no elegance.

    waste of money

  • I agree the back "alien" mouth was a bit much, but I liked everything else. If they toned down the mouth a bit, I think it'd look awesome.

  • god this is horrendous.

  • Why have they made it look like a storm troopers helmet. This is simply ugly.

  • Yeah, anybody know the songs name?

  • Looks terrible, like from a low budget sci-fi film. Especially the pentagonal shape around the wheels.

  • plz people

    what's the name of the song ??

  • extremely amazing

  • what is the name of the song PLZ ???

  • Morons. That car was built by an ITALIAN company called "Stile Bertone".

    Figure out what the fuck you're talking about before you go bad mouthing the entire American Car Industry. Fucking pinko commie.

  • Whats going on in american car business. They can put a car on mars but fail at supercars. This thing looks like a stormtroopers helmet and costs a whoping 2 million dollars. And what does it offer the world that doesnt already exsist ? NOTHING as it is basically just a redressing of a Corvette ZR1. Incidentally all sportscar projects in USA at the moment are either based on the ZR1 or the Viper... make something NEW damnit. and dont forget to make it good looking and desirable next time.

  • well

    GM is running the cars, NASA is doing the space business.

    NASA is the best in the world, GM is the worst in the world.

    Thats why

  • ugliest "supercar" ever

  • Now that should turn up on the next ransformers movie.  Most of the face is on the backside of the car already. I mean they used a pontiac Soltice for crying out loud!

  • crazy

  • Awesome

  • ''' ((( AMAZING JOB!!!! An AMANTIDE is Born ))) ''' nice to see all work on video! ....somebody will be lucky to have one Around The World ....lol

  • pls can somebody tell me what is the song that starts at 3:39?

  • Track name?

  • Very Nice Car

  • finally a decent looking american exotic car. looks a lot better than SSC aero crap..

  • that car has the aerodynamics to go 258 what do u want? i dont think youve driven it

  • the fuck are you referring to? 258 what?

  • Presumably, 258 mph, since if this has only 258 BHP, I'm going to cry.

  • CheaterNLaw,  Actually Bertone is an Italian company, not American.

  • So what, it's nice. American-Italian car.

  • @ocf1fan1 But, according to Automobile Mag, almost the entire running gear is Corvette ZR-1

  • what songs name ? ;}

  • ty ;)))

  • how do you get in?

  • It look s cool and aggressive, and I want it!

  • Wow that's an awesome car but looks sort of like a Ferrari P4/5.

  • Just as I was getting bored of repetitive design,(cough...lamborghini, aston martin, porsche, ....couch, cough, ) I come across this :D

    Wish I had access to a production size router like that :20 XD

  • Good god, it looks like a 2012 Pontiac Trans Am.

  • too bad they wont be making a 2012 trans am.

  • I know, I will miss pontiac.

  • where they working on one of those?

  • I can't understand what your comment means.

  • hey what's the song title anyone?

  • hey whats the song called

  • ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!

  • Who's gonna pay £1.3 million for Corvette ZR1 with a fancy shell as thats all it is the ZR1 costs £109,000 and apart from the body they are the same car they may have reduced weight and given it more downforce but lets be honest this isnt a very pretty car id take the ZR1 over it anyday.

  • The people that are willing to pay that much for this vehicle are paying for the exclusivity of it. Yes, they could just as easily buy a ZR1, in fact several, but they can't be seen driving something a "commoner" would drive. The solution, make a butt ugly car and jack up the price.

  • The ZR1 is on par with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborgini performance wise, but NOW it also competes with styling, fit and finish.

    Rich people would eat it up.

  • As far as performance specs are concerned, a ZR1 is just as good if not better than a Ferrari 599 or a Lamborghini Gallardo.

    The Mantide has an all new carbon fiber body and interior which would more than make up for the ZR1's main faults: material quality, styling, fit and finish.

  • It takes a lot more than YouTube to get me angry.

    I just wonder if you understand what you are saying? Not to mention how moronic your posts appear.

  • "Out with Friends." That was your alibi last time you were out raping!

    You know that won't hold up in court. The prosecutor has already proven numerous times that you have no friends.

    Or there was that time you were found in front of the elementary school with a bowl of candy. You have to maintain at least 500-yards away from children, remember?

    Or there was the time you had that all-day porno fest in your parents basement and you ruined your sheets and mattress! That was bloody.

  • rascist just like a farmer

  • Comment removed

  • again the language... FARMER :)

  • I'll never forget the time you told me about getting a male whore.

    You said you paid him in in bologna, Ambien CR and Henessey to butt-hump you so hard that you could gargle his semen. That night you needed a blood transfusion.

    I'm sure glad I wasn't around to see that!

  • lol its funny to watch u wither away on about nothing. I love how u just gave up and went on to insults. i guess i win again bye its been fun F A R M E R lol. Maybe someday when u learn something about cars we'll chat again. But since your a farmer i doubt it.

  • blablabla on voit rien

    Jolie cul sale gueule

  • I say it the same way D: haha your awesome.. im sarcastic with people like that too... im an aussie in america.. so every conversation is pretty much like that.. the bloody shitters~

  • amazing!

  • is like batmobile from the batman series

  • wow dude, its a very very hot car. Respect !!!

  • RIDGE RACER!!!!

  • the front is horrible

  • whats this song please?

  • Save your Soul by She wants revenge... all you needed to do was look at the comment. Thought it was Franz Ferdinand though....

  • yea did i see a ZR1 motor bout to go in this? That sure is what it seams like

  • The base for the Mantide is the ZR1.

  • Italian is the best people in the world!!! they are best at everything. design, engineer, art, sports, language, appearance, culture, food, architecture. only thing italia lacks of is politic which germanic white tribe have strong point at.

  • The exterior designer, Jason Castriota, is a New York native and American citizen. The remainder of the car is an American-made Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.

    Not terribly Italian, huh?

  • yeah he can make it like this because he has italian blood.

  • Fair enough. There's American influence in there, too.

  • corvette+cts+ any lambo model= mantide.

    really cool car tho.

  • Very sleek and stylish this car. The design is artistic and culminates in some nice lines front to back.

  • The more I look at it the more I really like it. I didn't like the GT-R at first either but something about this I like. Maybe it reminds me of the Mach 5 or a car from Speed Racer.

  • honestly i dont mind the design, its not very beautiful, but its not ugly, its just another exotic car with a futuristic spin on it

  • what a great work

  • I like the LED tail lights and the LED headlight eyebrows but i hate to say it... It's interesting but not something i want at home. Also to be honest it has a LARGE leap it has'd to make before it "sets the standered of what a new supercar really needs to resemble". Personally Horacio Pagani already did that but keep trying and I hope the best of luck none the less.

  • buuuaaa,, what a shit,, only designed to impress asian people... :P

  • are you serious? people have there own likes if you like to sit around playing video games thats your thing. but us gear heads enjoy the elegance of a beautifly designed machine and we like to know how it works so you have no right saying that

  • what a beautiful design...hopefully it drives as well as it looks

  • With a ZR1 under that skin, it should do alright.

  • that's true but there are some cars that turn out to be shit even with a good chassis

  • Perhaps, but this car has much more than just the ZR1 chassis.

    Basically, it's all ZR1 except for the sheetmetal (well carbon fiber), interior (which is primarily carbon fiber, too), and wheels (which are also...carbon fiber)!

    Bertone claims that they have reduced aerodynamic drag and the weight significantly over the ZR1.

    I can't see how it could be a bad performer?

  • Changing the aerodynamic drag can seriously screw up handling. Not enough downforce to plant it at speed and it wont touch the ZR1's ring time.

  • Good point.
