Default Yenko Corvette


Saw this car at a show today. A Yenko C7. Big supercharger. Full roll cage. Says 1000 horsepower on the engine and rear bumper. Door sill plate it is #2. Didn’t see the owner to ask if he knew how many were made like this. Enjoy!!!

General Marketing Capital Incorporated ( GMCI ) bought the naming rights off of the Yenko family, they also made some newer "Yenko Camaro's" also

Nice. HP notwithstanding, the matching calipers is a nice touch too.

If the 755 horsepower Corvette ZR1 isn’t enough for you, then Specialty Vehicle Engineering might be the place you need to call.

Formerly known as SLP, the company – founded by Ed Hamburger, a leader in the drag racing and performance vehicle business for more than 50 years – will be building 25 individually numbered 2019 Yenko Corvettes in two versions – a Stage I that cranks out 835 horsepower and a Stage II that takes it up a notch to 1000 horsepower.



The name Yenko, of course, has been widely respected for decades thanks to its high-output offerings for Camaros and Corvettes, and these versions – available through select Chevy dealers – certainly carry on that tradition.

Everyone will know these Corvettes are something special as soon as they see them, thanks to unique exterior treatments along with extensive interior badging, too.
