Italians love the Corvette, and over the years, various Italian design houses produced numerous versions of America’s favorite sports car. One of the latest is the strange but very fast Bertone Mantide (via Petrolicious).

Introduced in 2009, Mantide is a total redesign of the Corvette ZR1, which retains all the mechanics, drivetrain, and engine but puts on a new, lighter, and more aerodynamically efficient body. This means the Mantide has a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 with 647 hp and slightly better performance. Its planned production was 10 examples, but there is no official clarification on exactly how many exist.
