C4 Corvette With Rocket Bunny Widebody Kit Might Look Like a JDM Special

The jury is still out on the C4 Corvette. People are advised to stay away due to the many quirks and reliability issues, but you can't deny it looks cool. It's got that 80s thing going on, and with the right body kit can look like a winner.

A few days ago, we showed you the "Swedish Smurf", a blue C4 that embraced its wild heritage with custom paint and an insane widebody kit. But nobody builds one of those that you can simply buy, so Jim Björk of Bilsport Performance had to model everything himself.

If the Swedish-American Testarossa got your attention, here's another project, this time firmly set in the digital world. Brad Builds made this as a kind of pet project and he admits it looks like a combination between a door stopper and the Mazda RX-7... you know, the one from before that nobody thinks about anymore.

The Rocket Bunny treatment involves some serious widebody goodness with some race-inspired fender vents and simple ground effects all around the body. New wheels take advantage of this added girth, and a secondary mirror was added to the front wing, tricking you into thinking this is a Japanese car.

The Corvette is named after a class of a navy warship that was fast but packed a hefty punch. If you think about it, the C4 is the only generation that actually looks like a corvette, one of those new stealth jobs.

You can find a C4 online for as little as $5,000, but there is one version that gets a lot more money and attention. The first ZR1 featured the legendary 5.7-liter LT5 engine. It was developed with help from Lotus, and made 375 horsepower. The "King of the Hill" can cost a pretty penny.

The C4 represents the biggest jump in performance and technology of any Corvette save for maybe the C8. It's also got pop-up headlights. So can you really afford not to love it?
