Endora-Cars is a German tuning company. It has recently debuted the official renderings of the much awaited SC-1 model which is patterned after the Chevrolet Corvette model. We thank out star that the wheel-well covers that were present in the old rendering of the SC-1 have been removed.

Now, what are they planning to accomplish exactly is this: they want to come up with a European version of the Corvette that reeks of retro goodness.

The standard coupe will get a 6.20-litr V8 376 ci Aluminum engine with 437 horsepower and torque of 424 lb-ft. The retuned model will get the power of another 7.0-liter 437 ci V8 engine with 512 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. The top notch model will get a supercharged 6.2 Liter/376 ci V8 with 647 horsepower and an impressive torque of 604 lb-ft . Each of these engines is attached to a 6-speed manual transmission. An automatic six-speed gearbox is comes as tasteful option for the smallest V8 engine unit.

The retuned Corvette SC-1 comes with an electronic traction control system. There’s also the Active Handling system and a handsome set of 19-inch alloy front wheels and 20-inch alloy wheels for the rear.

The back of the Corvette SC-1 features a set of optically heightened LED taillights. A black painted diffuser can be found on the car’s belt line where the fog lamps are located. The Corvette SC-1 carries a special design motif that reeks of nostalgia for the classic sports cars that were a hit in the 1950s.
