Castagna Aznom

MONTE CARLO, Monaco — Carrozzeria Castagna, the Milanese coachbuilder that traces its roots back to the mid-19th century, has pulled the wraps off the Aznom, a custom-bodied two-seater built on a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 chassis.

The Aznom features a carbon-fiber body and an extremely low weight of just over 3,000 pounds. The 7.0-liter LS7 has been massaged to deliver 750 horsepower and 723 pound-feet of torque, and uses the Corvette's six-speed manual gearbox.

Castagna projects a 0-to-60-mph time of less than 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 218 mph.

The car is to be launched officially in May. No word yet on pricing.
