German cars are typically tuned by Germans, and American cars are typically tuned by Americans. Not a rule and certainly nothing wrong with that. But there are those tuners/builders who likes to tune cars from across their own pond. Take for example the German tuning firm TIKT.

They got themselves a good ‘ol American Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 and applied their knowledge and skills onto it.

The results is the Tripple X ZR1 producing 758hp and 671lb-ft. of torque.

In addition to the engine work, the TIKT crew upgraded the Tripple X ZR1 suspension to match and handle the new found power.

Aesthetically, the Tripple X ZR1 features a unique bumper that still somewhat retains the original design but certainly far from factory.

New Side skirts replaced the factory part and painted to match the body color.

A carbon fiber rear wing was also added to keep the rear end planted during those high speed runs.

The view of the cockpit.

It’s refreshing to see European tuners playing around with American cars. And with the C6 ZR1 as a base car, I won’t be surprised to see more samples of German tuned American muscle.
