For those who dream longroof dreams, the idea of a Corvette wagon—or shooting brake—has been around almost as long as the Corvette itself. Now, longtime Corvette tuner Callaway Cars offers to turn any C7 Vette into an AeroWagen.
The AeroWagen conversion—which is available on any Callaway custom Corvette or any unmodified C7, including the Grand Sport and the Z06—is straightforward, just as Callaway said it would be when it revealed the project before the C7 even went on sale. It replaces the standard car’s hatchback with the redesigned AeroWagen assembly, which incorporates wraparound rear glass with a defroster element. The unit bolts on and requires no other modifications, and the hatchback’s functionality is retained, as is that of the targa top. Callaway says the conversion can be done at its facilities in Connecticut or California as well as at its partner retailers.
The standard kit is $14,990, which the company points out includes “the Callaway carbon fiber AeroSpoiler.” Add $2980 to have it painted any Corvette OE color.
Granted, the result is pretty subtle. But with Chevrolet showing no signs of ever building a factory Corvette shooting brake, the Connecticut customizer is the one source for making Corvette wagon dreams a reality.
