Anteros XTR and XTR Targa debuting at SEMA
Last year's SEMA show saw the debut of the Anteros XTR Convertible (shown at right), but we've had to wait 365 whole days for the debut of the XTR (shown above) and XTR Targa. The entire Anteros line up is based on Corvette C6/Z06 running gear and wrapped in a body that evokes every smoldering sports car that's come out of Europe during the past fifty years (Ferrari, Maserati, Aston Martin anyone?). The engine is supercharged and said to produce from 550 to 650 horsepower depending on the spec you choose. The XTR coupe, for instance, will get a top spec motor making 650 hp, while the Targa will make do with 550 hp. The cars start under $100,000, which isn't a tragic price to pay for something totally unique and hopefully as dependable as the stellar production car on which it's based. We'll make sure to check out the new Anteros line up in person at the SEMA show in a couple of weeks. Follow the jump for a rendering of the XTR Targa and more pics of the XTR Convertible.

Is that an Aston Martin or a Ferrari?

ok, so what you're getting is a rebodied corvette with no design coherence??? is that about right?
stealing design elements from a bunch of other cars and haphazardly mixing them together isn't really the best way to make a car.
maybe its just me (and i can accept it if that's the case) but i really think this is an awful looking conversion

A very attractive body on a Corvette is still a Corvette with a good looking very expensive body. Why ?

I wonder if it will weigh as low as the Z06.

The body isn't shabby, but the Maserati grill screams rip-off. Think of it as a coachbuilt Corvette.

Did Shimano approve the use of XTR for the name?

It looks similar to thinks, but its unique enough not to draw too much of a comparison to anything. Except the front grill... total Maserari.

Coupe version looks like it has horrible rear visibility, but it an attractive body overall, definitely a head turner.

yeah, it's a Corvette but it is a 650HP corvette with a more luxurious interior
that says good performance, but will the $$ be right?

Is this a joke, ugliest thing I've ever seen, flying Bull logo. There is only one thing that comes out of a bull and that is dung. Looks a little like alot of different cars, No original ideas, looks like an abortion.
