n2a Motors now taking orders for Anteros Roadster and Coupe
Click above for a high-res gallery of the Anteros Roadster and Coupe
While the Anteros Roadster made its debut a few years at SEMA, we got our first look at the coupe just a few months ago. Now, n2a Motors, which builds the Corvette-based sportscars has announced that it is taking orders for both the coupe and convertible, priced at $149,500 and $154,500, respectively.
Based on the chassis and running gear of a 2009 Chevrolet Corvette, each car features a carbon composite body, hand-stitched leather interior, three-piece aluminum wheels, and a custom exhaust. Under the hood is the Corvette's LS3 V8 putting out 430 horsepower and 424 lb-ft torque, complete with Chevrolet's 100,000 mile powertrain warranty intact. Customers can also choose to have the Z06 used as a base vehicle, and upgrades between 525 and 1000 horsepower are available at additional cost.
The transformation from Corvette to Anteros takes approximately 800 hours, and no two cars will be alike (hence the name n2a). Along with the press release that can be seen after the jump, n2a Motors has also released dozens of new photos of both the coupe and convertible that can be viewed in high resolution in the gallery below.

Why, they look amazing. Just like Pontiac Solstice.

The only fail about this car is the price tag. It is a very large premium over the donor Corvette.
I like the black soft top best.
Well done Anteros.

Cadillac XLR is ugly???

Wha... Wha....
WHAT?!?!?

Yes, the XLR is ugly.
It looks like someone crafted a sportscar using Logo as the CAD tool.

Let me be the first: It's ugly.

Ugly is a Dodge Nitro or Cadillac XLR.
These are far from ugly.

Those gaps in the between the hood and fenders are quite unsightly.

At first I was thinking "what's he talking about!? Those are nice looking!" ...then I saw the high-res images....
Somebody hand my a can of bondo...

I think this car looks great, but you are absolutely right. They will really need to up their QC for the production version.

I love the coupe in profile, its a bit Jag-ish but hey nice is nice. The rear end is my least favorite part. I'd rather just get a ZR1 and pocket the change...for a new hood maybe but overall I think its a solid first effort.

Pretty sweet, but for the price it would still be hard to pass up a Z51 C6 for a third of the price.

Complete Chrysler front end rip-off. Why not copy a nice car????

Have you looked at old Corvette front ends?
Jamarr 6:48PM (2/04/2009)
you really believe that's where they were going with this???

Shame they chose to steal from Jaguar and Pontiac.
Puts those comments about "filthy Chinese thieves!" into perspective, doesn't it?

So...it's a stock Corvette with a massive body package and minor interior details as a 100,000 option. Uh....no!
I figured that they would have completely redone the interior or something...but other than the color of the leather and the lame gauges...that is a stock Vette interior.
Sigh....I'll take the ZR1...thanks!

Hmmm, I must be alone or just too many Aston Martin posts lately, but I thought it looked like Aston Martin fired their designers and hired Chryslers.
