October 2024 One week ago, I went to the cinema with a friend, as we arrived early I decided to check the NH Lingotto hotel, I didn't expect to find something as in recent times I rarely see nice cars, even if it used to be one of best spotting locations of the city in the last years. But this time I was quickly proven wrong as one of the first parked cars was this brutal modified Corvette, the spot turned even more surprising after I've noticed the car's license plate, Qatar! As I'm also a license plates spotter it was a huge surprise to find my first Qatari in a rainy day of October in Turin, even after visiting with no successful results cities like Paris, Monaco or Porto Cervo where cars from there can be seen often. Luckily the rain gave a break in that moment so I've spotted this cool Corvette without any problem, on that day the NH hotel seemed to be a little closer to the good old times as in another area of the parking, closer to the hall I've also found another nice and rare car for me, a Swiss Alpine A110, that I will post after this spot. Another thing I can tell you about this spot is that the boring exterior color of the car had a huge contrast with the big wing and the flashy turquoise interior and accents, while I'm not sure about the mods as some look nice while many others are not really my taste, the body kit makes it similar to a ZR1 but it's clearly ''just'' a modified normal C7 Stingray. It's also interesting to see that the same number plate can be found on a spotworthy car also in South Korea, where it has been spotted on a nice black Mercedes SL 63 AMG.

Hello, Giacomo. I am so thrilled to learn that you are now only 4 posts away from reaching that " 1,000 " AG spot. Forgive me for just now answering your question that you had left me on my McLaren 675 Spyder post. I have been extremely busy with work and in a new relationship with a very special lady from Brazil. I really do hope that all is well on your end? Let me know when you have that milestone spot. I bet it will be very special. Talk with you very soon, my friend. @JACK888 Turin Spotter

@Horse-Power Hey West! Sadly I'm still waiting for the right spot for the 1000th post, I'm fine and it's great to hear news about you, I wish you all the best with your work and that Brazilian lady as well haha, have a good day my friend!

Tbh mate, I don't like these fake body kits on cars. A normal Stingray looks fine as is. There is no need to ruin the look with some fake ZR1 parts. Anyhow, excuse the rant, it's just that these things frustrate me from time to time. Oh, and I hope you find a special car to post for the 1000 milestone.

@Exotics of Lithuania Thanks mate, I totally agree actually, the C7 looks lovely in the way it is, a kit like that just ruins the car in my opinion too! I hope ti find something for the 1000th spot, thanks for the ''wish'' haha.
@ShaytonSky @davidko15 @Exclusive_Spottertje @TYI Thanks a lot Greg, David, Dennis and Tak, it is for sure an interesting find!

Nice find! Maybe so many people would say the car with this wing doesn't look good, but I like it!
JACK888 Turin Spotter - 2024-11-05 at 00:04
@Nemanja 8.32 Haha yeah even if some missing details make it easy to recognize as a ''normal'' Stingray
@carsinbp It's surely controversial but doesn't look bad, thanks a lot Marci!

What a mean looking Corvette. I've obly seen 2 ZR1's of the nwe model. All 2 on car events.
JACK888 Turin Spotter - 2024-11-05 at 17:50
@yannick-m. Thanks Yannick, I have actually never seen a Corvette ZR1 (counting all generations)!
@De Friezen Crew Thanks a lot guys!
CHSLinz - 2024-11-05 at 23:44
I'm not a big Vette guy but this one is cool! I would like it even better with a smaller wing but it looks sweet regardless!
JACK888 Turin Spotter - 2024-11-06 at 23:41
@CHSLinz Thanks a lot Constantin, I agree about that, a stock C7 is much more beautiful but this one is surely a very interesting spot!
