Following up on the launch of the C16 coupe, Reeves Callaway has commissioned a drop-top version of his supercharged Corvette-based 2-seater. The C16 is powered by a supercharged 6.0-liter V-8, which produces 560 bhp. In addition to using the Corvette’s power soft top, the C16 Cabriolet also introduces the 6-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission. Callaway estimates that his latest entry can acceleration from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, cover the quarter mile in 11.2 sec. and has an estimated top speed of 200 mph. Like the coupe, the convertible version sports its own bespoke bodywork that has its power bulge and headrest fairings painted blue to match the leather and Alcantara interior.
