LOMA-Performance Corvette "C6.BlackforceOne"
10 December 2009


The menacing C6.BlackforceOne is based on the normal Corvette and not on a Z06 or ZR1 model. It gets around 10cm more on each side for a masculine feel. LOMA-Performance makes no effort to disguise the source of the additional width - indeed clearly displays the carbon-fibre wheel arch extensions and carbon-fibre side skirts available with or without visible screws. LOMA has installed a carbon-fibre front lip and rear diffuser with integrated LED reverse light alongside the extensions, also in carbon-fibre. The optional LOMA-Performance rear spoiler, finished in the same expensive material, is easy to fit and detach. Circular daytime running lights are an eye-catching feature of the headlights. The front lip, rear diffuser and daytime running lights are incidentally available for all C6 Corvettes, including the Z06 and ZR1.

783hp with bi-turbo charging
The bi-turbo engine conversion is, however, exclusive to the C6.BlackforceOne and raises an incredible 783hp from the V8 engine. 666hp still reaches the rear axle after transfer via a LOMA-Performance carbon-fibre sports clutch, highly durable carbon-fibre drive shafts and an overhauled gear unit; skilled hands are certainly needed at the wheel of the high-speed Corvette. It should hit 100km/h in just 3.4 seconds, accompanied by furious roars from the LOMA Cup Sport Superlight exhaust unit and ultimately reach 330km/h.

A coilover suspension is fitted beneath the body to allow separate adjustment of pressure and rebound damping. Even the stabilisers are adjustable. An extra 8cm tread at the front and all of 14cm at the rear ensure the C6 really hugs the road.

The impression of sheer unlimited curve speed is of course also down to the Michelin Sport Cup high performance tyres in the dimensions 275/30R19 and 335/25R20 mounted on 10 x 19 and 12 x 20-inch shining black OZ Racing Ultraleggera HLT alloy wheels.

Racing technology for the road
LOMA-Performance can install a carbon fibre/ceramic brake unit from Mov'it for brutal deceleration to match the brutal acceleration. This is an impressive 15.5 kilograms lighter on the front axle and 10 kilograms lighter on the rear axle than, say, ZO6 brakes.

For the interior, the team have been hard at work creating a great ambience with both technical and luxury features. The door panels are finished in carbon-fibre and sections of the cockpit are covered with Alcantara. C6.BlackforceOne customers can choose from 300 different types of leather.

Limited Edition
C6.BlackforceOne production is strictly limited to 25 vehicles. All are numbered and come with a full guarantee. LOMA provides an additional 12-month guarantee for the spectacular engine tuning. The prices for a complete vehicle start at 190,000 euros.
