A Florida Company Is Turning Chevrolet Corvettes Into Bonkers ‘JetCar’ Boats

51

Lamborghini and Ferrari have both collaborated with leading yacht yards to craft speedboats with subtle lines and motifs inspired by their supercars. Then there’s JetCar.

The Florida-based company instead boldly modifies previous-generation C7 Chevrolet Corvettes into seafarers, delivering on its “True Luxury Meets The Water” slogan. Riva and Technohull might have something to say about that.

Nevertheless, these ‘Vette-bodied vessels are at the very least attention commanders. According to Robb Report, the buyer’s largest expense is securing a C7 Corvette shell for $30,000, which can then be finished in nearly any color, including hot pink and yellow.

For power, JetCar offers multiple jet ski-sourced options. A 180-horsepower Yamaha engine priced at $13,500 will deliver speeds of up to 56 knots (65 mph), but Sea-Doo engines offering 230 to 300 hp start from $17,500.

Like any serious sports car—or boat—buyers can also upgrade the audio system. Robb Report adds that a $3,000 Rockford Fosgate option includes pairs of eight-inch and six-inch speakers, plus a four-channel amp—plenty for the Corvette’s two-seat cabin. Other extras include an LED-lit interior, GPS tracking system and storage boxes with cupholders.

Commissioning your own JetCar costs around $50,000 after a $500 deposit and takes three weeks to build. The JetCar curious can also take a test ride in Fort Lauderdale for $350—tap here to learn more.
