Rising High. Callaway Introduces New Hood at the New York Auto Show.​

Previously reserved for the Callaway C16 Supercar, we spotted the sleek hood of that model now on the production Callaway SuperCharged Corvette that was being showcased alongside the C16 Cabrio at the New York Auto Show.
With its pronounced center section painted in a contrasting silver, the lines of the hood spoke of the power beneath – adding further impact, a set of SUPERCHARGED emblems were affixed to each side, announcing to the world, this car has the power! As part of the SuperCharged 560 or 616 horsepower packages from Callaway Cars, the hood can be painted with the center section in a contrasting color or a solid color for conspicuity’s sake.
Weighing thirty percent less than a standard Corvette hood and even less than heavier aftermarket hoods, the new Callaway hood is molded in RTM, or the process called Resin Transfer Molding. Benefits aside, from the weight reduction, are the superior surface quality in the raw component which translates to far less prep time before paint and both sides of the hood have impressive finishes designed to meet or exceed OEM standards.
Available as a retail component as well, this lightweight hood has been priced at $1,395.00 and is now available through the www.callawaycars.com website.
