From Supercars...

After five years of development, the first Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS was unveiled at the 2009 Dutch AutoRai. Its creators Emile Pop and Justin de Boer created the 4-seat convertible using a Corvette chassis and engine.

The most unique feature of the car is its gullwing rear doors that encapsulate some of the rear fender and extend to the rear of body. Emile Pop and Justin de Boer describe the car as having styling with "an aggressive line conflict".

Rivale Roadyacht GT uses a chrome molybendium frame and carbon fiber body. Up front is the Corvette's familiar LS7 V8 engine which is slightly upgraded to produce 601 bhp @ 6,200 rpm and 750 nm of torque @ 4,800 rpm. Power is routed through an automatic transmission to the rear wheels.

The Corvette's suspension was modified to accept height-adjustable Koni dampers and a bespoke air-suspension system. Braking is provided by oversize discs with 8-piston calipers up front.

Inside are multiple touch screen displays for controls including door operation, climate controls and entertainment. In keeping with its nautical theme, the floor is 'decked' with wood.

The first Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS appeared at the 2009 Dutch AutoRai and the 2009 Top Marques Monaco.

Press release...

The Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS is the only 4 door "topless on demand" supercar in the world.

The experience of driving with the wind rushing over, the engine roaring and the glass top, dropping within 20 seconds.

With its yacht-inspired interior wrapped around the brutal V8 pulling you from 0-300 kph (0-186 mph) in less than 35 seconds.

The Savage is a celebration to design. The design is derived from driving a car as an emotional sensation.

It includes the signatures of two revolutionaries. A conflicting and revolutionary balanced design emphasizes the "bad boy" character.

The aggressive cut front shows its primeval powers. The wide muscular rear end shows inviolable trust and leaves everyone behind.

A very high standard of finishing with exaggerated details shows its a true superlative.

that's pretty bad ass. I don't know about the lines between the doors and the body though, looks awkward. Its like the top of the body is bolted onto the chassis on the outside.

In general though, at least there's finally a car based off of the Corvette that doesn't actually still look like the Corvette.

A great way to promote drinking and driving with that champagne bottle in the back.
