2009 n2a Motors Anteros

NEWS & REVIEWS Continuing a tradition of unique styling and impressive performance, the Anteros is built on the new 2009 Corvette platform and features a body reminiscent of iconic Italian designs. Built from modern lightweight carbon fiber, the Anteros is available with a variety of performance and appearance options. n2a Motors is taking orders for January 2009 deliveries. n2a Motors will be displaying the first production convertible and coupe versions of the Anteros in their exhibit. The black convertible is built using a stock 2009 Corvette donor car, featuring the 430 hp/424 lb.-ft. torque LS3 V8 engine that gets 16 MPG city and 26 MPG highway. Chevrolet's 100,000 mile powertrain warranty remains completely intact and the Anteros can be serviced at any GM dealership. Each Anteros takes approximately 12 weeks to build from the time of order. n2a Motors starts by removing the donor Corvette's body panels and installing the new carbon composite Anteros body, a process that takes nearly 800 hours for n2a's coachbuilding craftsmen to complete. The interior is entirely new with re-contoured leather seats, leather dash, Italian carpeting, and leather-wrapped interior panels, while the wheels and exhaust are removed and replaced with n2a's custom-made components. The turnkey Anteros Coupe starts at $149,500 and the Anteros Convertible starts at $154,500. Anteros Coupes built on the Z06 platform start at $176,500. Performance packages ranging from 525-1000+ horsepower are available for an additional cost. About In 2002, John & Joann Rothman, along with their son, David Rothman, wanted to create a sports car of uncompromising beauty, power, and elegance. They began implementing their idea of automotive beauty drawing inspiration and style from the classic 60's era with the intent of incorporating the technology of today. Under the direction of Award Winning graphic design artist, Franklin Burris, conceptual design artist, Don Johnson, and sculptor, John Allen, the basic shapes of the Anteros were hand carved and developed. The product of over 5000 hours of sculpting was a stunningly elegant Supercar that utilizes the highly acclaimed C-6 platform and now stands alone as a superlative example of automotive vision and creativity. The Rothmans wanted ANTEROS to have the quality of design and craftsmanship that characterizes fine art. The form and beauty of the Anteros concept could not be compromised during the transition from artistry to reality. In May 2005, the Anteros Team then transitioned the Anteros from form to function, from automotive concept to automotive reality. PHOTOS: click photos to enlarge
