Genaddi Design Group LSR (Based on the Corvette Z06)

The GDG LSR is based on the Corvette Z06.

The idea of the Corvette Z06 as a convertible is not new, but GDG's version of it is. GDG has answered the call of automotive enthusiasts who love the performance of the Corvette Z06 but desire an open top car, an exotic roadster that Chevrolet has confirmed will not be offered by them. Essentially, every body panel of the Corvette Z06 has been reshaped in aluminum, creating a totally fresh and futuristic appearance. The nearly complete aluminum body of the LSR compliments the materials making up the lightweight Z06's chassis, motor and suspension. GDG has also nearly tripled the torsional rigidity over the stock Z06 coupe, something unheard of in the industry.

This is a slideshow of the Build Process from start to finish.

I'd just like to say that I'm not affiliated with Genaddi Design Group in any way.

[Boyracer5500]

Why the HELL would any sane person take good carbon fiber body panels and put aluminum panels on instead? Some engineers spent a long time trying to make the Z06 light and cheap and you go and weigh it down with some aluminum bullshit. The nerve of some people....

[kingcrumpet]

I agree, but there are those who don't really car about how light the car is. Possessed by their money and ego, they're willing to spend a lot of cash and get something a bit more unique.

cool vid man but it just seems like a lot of wasted man hrs to construct a vette that first off isn't much different looking from the way it looked to begin with with the eception of it being a convertible and the extra vents. and I think the hood looks tack with two scoops.

[kingcrumpet]

yeah i agree completely. but there will always be people willing to fork out the cash to pay for one. If it was me I'd spend the money on the engine ; )

Neat looking car. What is the other car at 1:51?

[kingcrumpet]

lol, im not sure. never even noticed it before. Hopefully someone with better knowlege of older cars can help.

[johnnysnowking]

this is butt ugly!

[quiknik11]

worst rebuild i have ever seen!!!

[wrfilmshd]

@Boyracer5500 oh... interesting.

[Boyracer5500]

the C6 Z06 and ZR1 use carbon fiber.....the ZR1 has more carbon fiber on it although the car is still heavier (supercharger) but the only C6 corvettes with fiberglass now are the base coupe/roadster or the grand sport....

[wrfilmshd]

@Boyracer5500 I thought that the body panels were plastic or fiberglass.

[ROGUE3308]

good grief

[GIjoemomma002]

carbon fiber is a hell of a lot lighter than aluminum and i hope you dont plan on making fast turns... you gave up so much rigidity to make it convertable

[AARON691983]

Alot of work went on to do this car but I dont like the end result. Alot of respect for knowinging how to do this kind of work but design needs to be better.

[teppili]

This car is one ugly son of the bitch! Shit, why???

[habbathejut]

Lol, reminds of the car homer built haha.
