You may recognize the name, as Caravaggio has been in the coachbuilding business since 1986 and enhancing Corvettes for generations. At first glance, the price seems a bit extreme, but some digging reveals just how exclusive and special this series will be. Not only is the Unica Series 1 limited to just 30 examples but each Caravaggio creation will be hand-built to the customer’s spec.
Here are some of the coolest factoids about the Unica Series 1:
- The first numbered series in the company’s history, with no two cars looking exactly alike.
- Each client will have a private consultation to create the Unica Series 1 C8 Corvette that matches their personality and taste.
- Five customers will be able to spec their bodywork in fully exposed carbon fiber (shedding 40 lbs from stock).
- Buyers can also personalize the interior with a mix of handcrafted leather, Alcantara, colorful stitching, and carbon-fiber accents.
- Performance upgrades range from a supercharger, Brembo brakes, wheels, and engine tuning.
- Each Euro-styled masterpiece will be custom-designed, built, tested, and documented at the company’s facility in Concord, Ontario, Canada.
- MSRP for the Unica Series 1 Caravaggio Corvettes package starts at $135,000, not including the base Stingray or ZO6 C8.
