With a top speed of 320 km/h, the Corvette AeroWagon is sure to remain one of the fastest station wagons on the planet.The famous two-seater Chevrolet Corvette sports car has always had an extremely small trunk, into which it is almost impossible to fit a couple of golf bags. To remedy the situation, Callaway Cars has had the great idea of designing an addon kit that transforms this beautiful American car into a sports station wagon. That’s right! The seventh generation of the Corvette Stingray could see a rear extension bolted to its roofline in 2014, adding a more upright rear window structure and hatch. This concept is nothing new, however, as it was used in the 1980s by the Nissan Pulsar. This latest creation from renowned designer Paul Deutschman, who also can also claim paternity for several other exceptional vehicles, such as Campagna Motors’ T-Rex and the Porsche Spexter, has been baptized the Corvette AeroWagon. Even though hatchbacks have lost ground in the United States, Callaway believes that the multifunctional Corvette could be a real hit in Europe, where this type of configuration is generally more appreciated. Indeed, the marketing of the recent Ferrari FF, the first Ferrari hatchback in history, undoubtedly put some wind in Callaway’s sails. General Motors has agreed to back the project, which is a very welcome support. The look of the new Corvette C7 is in no way spoiled by the addition of this attachment — lines remain pure and continue the great look of the original model. For the moment, the price of this add-on kit will likely hover around $15,000. The cost of the mechanical transformations by the Calloway engineers will be added to that price tag. But with a top speed of 320 km/h, price will be no obstacle for those who want to drive one of the fastest station wagons on the planet.
