Η Chevrolet, ανακοίνωσε πως συνεχίζει την “Engine Build Experience” και οι τελευταίοι που μπορούν να την ζήσουν, είναι οι μελλοντικοί ιδιοκτήτες Corvette Z06.

Η εταιρία περιγράφει το πρόγραμμα ως “το μοναδικό του είδους του για ιδιοκτήτες supercar” και έχει δίκιο αφού η Chevrolet είναι η μοναδική εταιρία που προσφέρει στους πελάτες της την δυνατότητα να βοηθήσουν

στη συναρμολόγηση του supercharged V8 που θα τοποθετηθεί στο αυτοκίνητο τους.

Το πακέτο κοστίζει $5.000 (περίπου €4.220) και περιλαμβάνει μία πλήρη ημέρα με έναν μηχανικό του Performance Build Center και μία εξατομικευμένη πλακέτα στην οποία γράφονται το όνομα του ιδιοκτήτη και η ημερομηνία που συναρμολογήθηκε ο LT4. Θα υπάρχει επίσης ένας επαγγελματίας φωτογράφος για να απαθανατίσει τις στιγμές.

Exclusive Corvette Engine Build Experience Returns

Program renewed for supercharged LT4 engine at new Bowling Green build center

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Chevrolet announced today it is resuming the exclusive Engine Build Experience for Corvette Z06 customers – the only program of its kind for supercar customers.

Starting in March 2015, Corvette Z06 customers will be able to assemble the 650-hp supercharged LT4 engine for their cars at the new Performance Build Center inside the Bowling Green Assembly Plant.

“Chevrolet recognizes the passion customers have for Corvette and the Engine Build Experience offers them a truly unique opportunity for hands-on involvement in the creation of the heart of their new car,” said Harlan Charles, Corvette product manager. “It’s a chance to bond with their new car.”

The Engine Build Experience is selected with order code PBC and is offered on all Z06 trim levels. The $5,000 package includes a full day with a Performance Build Center engine assembly technician who instructs and oversees the build, a personalized engine plaque identifying the owner/builder and the date of the engine build, and professional photography of the experience.

After the order is submitted, personnel from the National Corvette Museum will handle concierge services for the customer, following up on the scheduled build date and handling logistics on the day of the build. The customer is responsible for travel costs to Bowling Green and lodging.

Upon completion, the engine moves to the vehicle assembly area of the plant, where it will be installed with the scheduled assembly of the customer’s Z06.

“It’s important for customers to understand their engine won’t be installed the day after they built it,” said Charles. “It will flow into the scheduling process for vehicle assembly, which depends on a number of logistical variables.”

Customers can catch their Corvette being assembled through a special tour organized by the National Corvette Museum. They can also opt for Museum Delivery (order code R8C), which personalizes the buying experience with delivery at the National Corvette Museum, located across the road from the Bowling Green Assembly Plant.

The assembly line tour and Museum Delivery are available for Corvette Stingray and Z06 customers.
