Despite the recession, tuners continue to show more and more flashy projects. This is the case with German tuner Loma-Performance, who announced that its new Corvette C6 tuning package is inspired by the United States' Air Force One Boeing 747.

If you think that a sports agile car inspired by a big, ugly passenger plane is stupid, then just check out Loma’s name for its new baby: "the C6.BlackforceOne." The aircraft theme continues as the C6.blackforceOne is available in Stealth matt black, Eurofighter matt grey and White Storm matt white.

The exterior styling is very aggressive, as the tuning kit adds 10cm of width to each side, due to the carbon fiber wheel arch extensions and carbon fiber side skirts. The rest of the exterior modifications are also constructed in carbon fiber, like the front lip spoiler and rear diffuser with integrated LED reverse lights. A rear spoiler with a carbon fiber finish can also be added.

It seems that the modified Corvette might just be able to race the Airforce One, as the engine got a twin-turbo kit which helps a lot, as the car can now produce 794 PS at the crank translating into 675 PS at the wheels. Things look quite serious, as Loma also installed their own carbon fiber sports clutch and carbon fiber drive shafts plus a LOMA Cup Sport Superlight exhaust system.

The Vette needs 3.4 seconds to reach 100km/h and reaches a top speed of 330km/h (205mph). Further performance specs were not provided.
