After unveiling the stunning S1 Project supercar just last month, Italian coach-builder Ares Design has now released official renderings depicting a roofless version of that same car, dubbed S1 Project Spyder. Like its fixed-roof sibling, the Ares S1 Project Spyder will be a limited edition model with just 24 units planned, and order books are already open. Pricing has yet to be announced, but it should cost more than the S1 Project, whose tag reads € 500,000 (US$ 591,000).
In the absence of a roof and a traditional
windscreen, the Spyder features two wind deflectors that create a virtual
canopy, redirecting the air current over the passengers and into the air
intakes behind the headrests.
Its bespoke hand-crafted interior is
finished with the highest grade Nappa leather and Alcantara. Safe to say that
this is the most luxurious Corvette interior we’ve ever seen – both S1 Project
cars are based on the latest-generation Vette.
In terms of performance, the S1 Project
Spyder will utilize a naturally-aspirated V8 unit, which thanks to Ares’ tuned
ECU and a bespoke crafted exhaust, will put down a maximum output of 700 HP, with the aid of an 8-speed dual clutch automatic and rear-wheel
drive. In a straight line, it will rocket to 100 km/h in just 2.7
seconds.
