Corvette’s C6 has been upgraded by German tuner Loma Performance.

The car can get from 0-62mph in 3.4sec and go on to reach a top speed of 205mph. Carbon-ceramic brakes have been added to boost its stopping power and it is fitted with 20-inch OZ wheels.

Loma has also added a host of exterior and interior styling changes. Carbonfibre is used for the wheel arches, front lip spoiler and rear diffuser and it has been equipped with daytime running lights.

Inside, it gets Alcantara trim on the doors and steering wheel, and customers can choose from more than 300 different types of leather for the seats.

Production will be limited to 25 units, with prices starting from 190,000 euros (£173,000). It will be launched at the Essen motor show this weekend.
