Only 20 sold at $204,565.00 Golly gee I can't imagine why.
For what, tail lights from a Benz and ground effects inspired from a Monte Carlo? And those headlights

 

ugly

 

Interesting comments here and I'd venture to say nobody has seen the car (or another C12) in person, let alone, drive one...

Anyways, before I worked for Callaway, I remember driving a silver C12 at Carlisle from the fairgrounds to Harrisburg for dinner.

While the car may have had "only" 440 hp, this was nearly 100 more hp than the C5 had at the time. As you recall, C5s were pretty much on-par with some of the last C4s in the horsepower dept., as the LT4 cars had 330 hp and if you were lucky, your C5 coupe had 350. But I'm getting off track here...

Anyways, on the drive, so many people loved seeing that car. One group of people were in Harrisburg at a streetside cafe. I remember people practically jumping out of their chairs to get a better look...

Cameras came out, folks yelled how much they loved the car, and one guy practically dragged his girlfriend off the curb to get a better look. They were all excited, that's for sure

Anyways, the ride back to the hotel after dinner wasn't much different. In this car, one could easily be mistaken for a rock star - and feel like one too with the cheering, thumbs-up, and camera flashes

It should also be mentioned, the car sounded like a million bucks! The large exhaust canister made beautiful noise and made me want to rev the car to hear more

So what's the point of my story? I mean, I haven't even addressed the fact the car handled so well, sitting two meters wide and wider than any passenger car I had ever driven... It wasn't discussed that the interior was a delight with all its carbon fiber and leather, removing the acres of plastic from the factory...

My point is, drive one - if you are near Dallas, go and see this car in person, listen to the car idle and then pull away from a stop, running her through the gears... take a corner, hit the brakes - she does everything your C5 does, only better, quicker, and with a ton of style.

Enjoy!

 

 

why hasnt callaway chris addressed all the lies with this listing?

the name of the engine, the automatic, no interior shots, etc etc.

 

Interior shots are there, you need to click on the picture to take you to their site.

 

For what it's worth I think it's an attractive design and always did have a soft spot for the Callaway C12. It's unique and looks exotic for sure. It always has been a polarizing design visually...some love it...some don't. I would question some of the items in the listing though. I don't think that ANY of the C12s produced by Callaway were automatics so this may not be as authentic as someone is trying to pass it off as. It would definitely be interesting to see in person if you have not as they look better "in the flesh" than in just images on your monitor.

Way over priced.

 

I like the headlights.

 

2001 Taurus tail lights

 

Not tail lights from a Taurus

 

A "what else could you buy" interlude is required here - this thing is priced smack dab in ZR1 territory. Which would you rather have? ZR1 in a heartbeat IMHO.

 

Right there with you, ZR1 in a hearbeat!

 

im lovin the blue carbon fiber pics.

i think the one shown looks goofy, but those other pics posted up look nice. i like the hatch area.

also, it has taillights from a civic

 

I still think that the C7R was the coolest car you guys ever built. Wish it had been made a street car. 2205 lbs was a cool part about it !

I see one in the above picture !

 

...keep guessing - not a Civic, but they were taken from another production car, which is pretty neat - especially the rear lip detail

 

The pic above was from when Microsoft came ant snapped pics to include the C12, C7, and Sledgehammer in their upcoming video game, PGR3

In the one pic of the C12, you can see their photographer taking pics of the C12 from all angles. Cool stuff

 

Don't worry, I'm here to help!

pretty close!

 

I love the interior (tan leather?) on that one. Awsome!
