The Callaway name is most often associated with high-performance General Motors vehicles, but the company does more than churn out brutally fast street cars. It also walks the walk with its motorsport program Callaway Competition, which has a long history in GT3 racing, including more than 25 years of success with the Leingarten Germany team and International GT series. Now, as a nod to Callaway Competition’s 25th anniversary, the company has introduced a new special edition Chevy Corvette C7 called the Callaway Champion.
Based on the C7-generation Z06, the Callaway Champion Chevy Corvette comes with a long list of upgrades over the standard factory vehicle, the most impactful of which is the Callaway SC757 Power Package. To note, the SC757 package includes Callaway’s GenThree blower and TripleCooled intercooler system, as well as a high-flow intake and a variety of badging and emblems. The package also includes new floor mats and new door sill panels for the cabin.
All told, the engine upgrades boost output to 757 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 777 pound-feet of torque at 4,500 rpm, with the 0-to-60 mph sprint done in 2.8 seconds and the quarter mile done in 10.5 seconds at 131 mph. Quick, to be sure.
The latest special edition Callaway Champion Chevy Corvette also runs a Double D Exhaust System and heavy-duty Level 2 cooling upgrades. Outside, the C7’s shark-like styling is complemented by a new Callaway Europe Rear Spoiler, GT3 rear wing, and NineSpoke wheels, while a fully upgraded suspension setup keeps it all shiny side up. Final touches include an S3 shifter and harness bar.
The new special edition Chevy Corvette will be produced at Callaway’s facilities in Connecticut and California. Interested buyers can order one from a Callaway Authorized Dealer in the U.S. and Canada, as well as at BH Auction on Tokyo, and Autohaus Kramm in Berlin. Only 25 will be produced.

This automobile had been gorgeous for years. I owned an ’82 model. Loved it!!! But THIS!!! THIS is a sexy automobile. I hope to see one parked somewhere. Hell,I can get lucky. Lol
I want to buy a 757 z06 automatic corvette help out!! Thats my dream car .
This car should hold ‘most’ of its Value, long-term…
But it’s TWO YEARS LATE !!
A “Last Generation” 2019…which will be built and delivered as the 2021 Corvettes are arriving..??? As a “New Car”…
They had these available in 2019… and they should have been developing a C8 upgrade for the last 2 years. Maybe an SC650 C8, with upgraded clutchplates in the DCT and a Calloway GenFour Supercharger and upgraded cooling…and maybe some distinctive wheel flares for a really nice “Wide-Body” that would “Tell Everybody — THIS is a LINGENFELTER Corvette!”
They need to get Rip Van Winkle out of their Marketing Department…
Why stop at 757 HP? Why not 1000 HP? Maybe 2000! People can’t drive this kind of power, for the most part. Give me, maybe 500 HP, that can be managed on the street.
Where are they getting new C7 ZO6s?
