Castagna announced the Aznom concept in march, but the first official images were unveiled only now. Based on the Corvette Z06, the Aznom concept is the image of an aggressively styled concept sports car which is firmly in the traditions of the revived carrozzeria.

The Aznom concept is powered by a modified version of the Corvette Z06’s 7.0-litre aluminium V8 engine with a maximum power of 750 hp at 6200 rpm and a peak torque of 980 Nm at 3,800 rpm. The Aznom concept reaches a top speed of 350 km/h, 0-100 km/h is reached in 3.4 seconds, and 0-260 km/h in 9.5 seconds.

The Aznom sports car features: a high level rear spoiler which raises away from the bodywork at speed, a system used by Mercedes to great effect on their 1950s 300 SLR racing cars, and recently used by the likes of Porsche on several production models over recent years.
