PureRossi has unveiled the first details on the Rossi SixtySix - a Corvette C6->ke1280 that borrows its design DNA from the classic Sting Ray model. The SixtySix will be built in limited numbers and will be unveiled at the 22nd Annual EyesOn Design this Sunday at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills.

As we were saying, the Rossi SixtySix will take its design inspiration from the Sting Ray models: there will be a split window, stinger hood, a modern front, and retro "bumpers". For the interior, updates will be made to the center console area, door accents, and shift boots.

The sports car will be offered in eight exterior colors: black, red, maroon, blue, pearl white, a charcoal gray, and yellow.

Under the hood the Rossi SixtySix will have a V8 engine producing 450 HP and 400 lbs-ft of torque Unfortunately, performance figures haven't been released yet so little is known about how these numbers will reflect on the road.

Transforming a new Corvette C6 into a Rossi SixtySix only takes five days and the price for the final project, with the C6 donor car included, is in the $130k area.
