In this thrilling video from the Larry Chen channel, the team unveils the mind-boggling creation of Axel Pedro Hildebrand: a Corvette with a rotary engine. Yes, you heard that right, a rotary engine in a Corvette! It's a bold and audacious move, considering the typical V8 swaps we're used to seeing. But this team wanted to break the mold and create something truly unique.

The challenges of fitting the rotary engine into the Corvette's engine bay were no small feat. With limited space and a pointy chassis, they had to get creative to make it work. And work it does! With a turbo the size of a small planet, this beast is capable of churning out a staggering 700 horsepower. That's enough to leave even the most seasoned petrolhead in awe.

But it's not just about power. Axel and team also had to tackle the issue of airflow into the front of the Corvette. Instead of compromising the car's sleek and iconic look, they opted to keep the body kit as close to the original as possible. It's a decision that pays off, as the car still looks unmistakably like a Corvette, but with a twist that sets it apart from the rest.

Inside, the attention to detail is impeccable. The custom cage, meticulously welded by a skilled craftsman, hugs the tight confines of the car, ensuring maximum safety and rigidity. The dash, sourced all the way from Ireland, adds a touch of elegance to the interior, proving that this car is not just a monster on the track, but a work of art.

Overall, this rotary-powered Corvette is a testament to Axel's team's ingenuity and passion for pushing boundaries. It's a wild and exhilarating ride that will leave you breathless and begging for more. So buckle up, hold on tight, and get ready to witness automotive greatness in action.
