2002 Chevrolet Corvette White Shark Concept
At the 2002 SEMA show, Chevrolet dressed up many of its production vehicles for the aftermarket accessory show. The Corvette White Shark stood out as a hightlight for its demure nature. It pays homage to Mako Shark Corvette produced in 1965.
Under the hood the White Shark shows off it’s 402, with a carbon fibre engine bay. Not all is asthetic, the increased displacent helps the White Shark produce 512hp with 523 foot lbs of torque.
Other unique details off the white shark include:
-Shark Sand tri-stage pearl paint
-Exterior styling package
-Black, Klein Karoo ostrich/cowhide leather trim interior
-Campari red, ostrich leather interior accent color
-Aluminum throttle pedal and footrest
