Default Equus Automotive Creates Throwback Corvette

Equus Automotive Creates Throwback Corvette

Equus Automotive has effectively created a car that appears to be every generation of Corvette thrown into a blender to create this "ultimate" Vette.

I like my Equus.
Wonder if the name might be a trademark issue.

With the exception of the rear fascia, which I kind of like, it’s pretty bad.

I like the rear although it probably screws up the aero. The seats look pretty good too.

Big fog lights only make sense on trucks (or rally cars). Those LED strips look so old school, you don't really see the individual bulbs like that on modern LEDs. Headlight and doors look overstyled and busy. IT does seem to have side view mirror turn signals.

That rear end looks more Lotus than Corvette.

They've done the same thing with the new Mustang body style. While not as bad, it doesn't work for me either.

This Corvette wannabe makes my eyes hurt. And those barrel size exhaust tips...

That's not a Corvette, it's a king size Opal GT

I like the tail cone. They could probably make some money selling those.

Everything else is worse than stock -- no thanks.
