The Throwback - Modern Muscle Car

The Equus Throwback is a limited production American muscle car restomod: a carbon-fiber fastback that reinterprets the classic Corvette silhouette with hypercar power and hand-tailored craft.

The Story

Built by Equus Automotive, the American answer to European tuners like Brabus or Alpina, The Throwback was born after the success of the Bass770. The team wanted to revisit America's most iconic silhouette, the fastback, and translate it into a modern coachbuilt machine. Only 25 units are produced, each configurable for design-focused owners or all-out track performance.

Performance

The Throwback runs a supercharged V8 built for extreme output, delivering up to 1000 horsepower and 822 lb-ft of torque. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph takes just 2.5 seconds, quicker than a Lamborghini Huracan, and top speed reaches 220 mph. The chassis and bodywork use a carbon-fiber bespoke frame, keeping mass down and rigidity race-grade, while the cabin is wrapped by hand in Alcantara leather with hand-selected pelts and polished metal accents.
