Model information

The Zeclat is produced by Eadon Green, a boutique British sports car maker who also built the Black Cuillin concept in 2017. The Zeclat features a retro-styled, 1930s-inspired body designed by Eadon Green. [1] Eadon Green aims to build 25 Zeclats per year and says if they were to build 25 units the price would be around £550,000, but if they built fewer it would be closer to £1,000,000. [2]

Performance

The Zeclat is based on the Chevrolet Corvette (C7) platform and is powered by the 6.2 L GM LT1 V8 engine from the Corvette. It produces the same 460 hp (340 kW) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) of torque as the Corvette and power goes through either a seven-speed manual with Active ReV Match or an optional Hydra-Matic eight-speed automatic. [3] The retro styled body is made of carbon fiber and the interior is mostly shared with the Corvette, although it features some hand stitched leather, and carbon fiber trim. [4]
