Now available at our Philadelphia showroom is a 2009 Chevrolet
Corvette SV 9 Competizione. If you have never heard of an SV 9
Comptizione you are not alone. In the summer of 2009 in Las Vegas
at the SEMA show the SV Motor Company debuted the much-anticipated
SV 9 Competizione. Based on the Chevrolet Corvette it was designed
to capture the essence of the Italian exotics without all the
expensive maintenance that they require. The grand plan was to
produce 1000 of these cars that model year. With a catalog of 25
exterior colors, four wheel choices and five interior trim options.
SV motors promised that no two cars would be the same.
Distinguished by its unique carbon fiber composite body panels,
Osram Xenon headlights and extra wide alloy wheels with Pirelli
P-Zero Rosso Tires. The SV 9 features a luxurious interior
featuring custom leather upholstered seats and paneling by Mario
Levi Spa of Torino, Italy, special woodgrain accents and custom
instrumentation. The heart of the car is the LS3 6.2L/450 HP all
aluminum V-8 sporting a six-speed transmission and a ANSA exhaust
system. The Corvette Z51 Performance Package adds 14.1-inch cross
drilled ventilated disc brakes, special shocks, springs, and
stabilizer bars. It also includes engine oil and transmission fluid
coolers and a six-speed transmission. Unfortunately, less than a
year later the man behind SV Motors Joseph "Giuseppe" Viola, was
indicted on fraud charges and sentenced to 36 years in prison. That
was a death sentence for the SV 9. There would be no production.
All the plans for producing this fantastic car were canceled. Only
4 were built. One in Red, one in White, one in Blue, and the Green
one that we have here. Performance is 0 - 60 in 4 seconds with a
top speed of 190 MPH.To view this 2009 Chevrolet Corvette SV 9
Competizione in greater detail, including HD pictures and an HD
