GM should reach out to them to learn how to upgrade the DCT . I doubt they sell 10, and no way they sell 50 next year. Where are the 60 "60th anniversary" Cunningham Corvettes? Stick with Callaway & at least you'll have a warranty.

It is offered as a coupe:
The company offers the 1,000-hp Corvette in coupe and convertible forms, available in any factory Corvette color.
Reasonable price? - Probably not:
We've reached out to inquire about pricing, and we'll be sure to update this article when we hear back. We suspect it won't be cheap. ​​​​​​​

https://www.motor1.com/news/719639/y...vette-1000-hp/
Article says that the package starts at 99K and that does not include the C8 so yeah, pretty steep.
I guess somebody bought the name as Yenko Chevrolet is long, long, gone.
This is what is left of where they were in Cannonsburg PA:

SLP, after they were bought out and the parts business went to one company and nobody wanted the cars-side, they came back as SVE.

I doubt they make 1,000 hp, as it's more than likely rounded up to the nearest thousand...

SVE bought a bunch of "names" like ZL1 and Yenko, and they also had tried a Syclone truck.

Nice looking car and if 1K HP it will be a beast. But prepare for sticker shock.

Love the livery on the Baldwin/Motion cars. That would be cool if they made one and painted it correctly.

Price seems absurd. Kudos on being the only paint scheme which does seem to flow well with CF accents.

Be sure that the prices of these "Yenko" badged products will have a huge instant classic, collectable factor baked in that some fervent enthusiasts will totally buy into just as many of the Ford loyalists do with anything wearing a Shelby badge. Unfortunately there is no "special sauce" or direct connection to the past involved with any of these rebadged offerings.

Yenko is apparently building 10 2024 models and 50 2025 models. Cost is $99,995 and not inclusive of your Corvette cost. They recommends getting the Z51 performance package, NPP dual exhaust, and the magnetic ride.

Fuel is E10 with a minimum of 93 octane. If you cannot secure this, they can spec to 91 octane but performance will suffer. Using the wrong fuel voids their warranty.

Also, not Street legal in California unless it’s a sanctioned race…

….you mean, they HOPE to Build. If they build more than 1, I’d be shocked.

Default Yenko Introduced 1000 hp Twin Turbo C8

Yenko, a Chevy Dealer in Canonsburg PA, has a history of making special cars with some help from GM supplying select models/options they modify.

They have announced a 1000 hp twin Turbo C8 they will sell ~10 in 2024 and plan 50 for 2025.


Their modified Corvairs had success raced. In 1966, the Porsche 911 S only had 158 hp for its 2300 lbs.


Over 200 Yenko Camaro's were built. In that case the engine came from the factory and had a warranty.

I have one ordered for a customer and currently SVE have 5 others placed. I'd bet after the forum write up the other 4 will be placed. They are being shipped with a 3 year 36,000 mile driveline warrantee. I received several Yenko Camaros and have 3 more coming including a 1500 HP Coupe. They are very well engineered. The customers that have taken delivery of them are extremely happy. Just thought you should know.
