Ares S Project Corvette C8 Supercar
Some may argue that the Corvette C8 doesn’t quite look like supercar, but the Ares S Project makes you think otherwise. This Corvette-based supercar is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 producing 705 horsepower at 6,450 rpm and 715 pound-feet of torque at 5,150 rpm, mated to an 8-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. Ares did not say what kind of modifications were done to the engine, though the sound is reminiscent of the old Formula 1 V10 engines, since it can rev to 9000 rpm.

We are not a car company that needs to develop technology if there’s already much better items out there to buy off the shelf. You take something and simply work like a plastic surgeon and change everything that you can touch and see, every button – our objective is you should have no idea it’s a C8 underneath,” said Dany Bahar, Ares CEO.
