AMP Smart Revives Automotive Nostalgia with Digitally Enhanced 1970 Corvette
Lehi, Utah – October 26, 2023 – AMP Smart LLC, a tech company quietly making waves in the automotive world, today announced the launch of its digitally remastered 1970 Chevrolet Corvette. The company, based in Lehi, Utah (3450 N TRIUMPH BLVD STE 100, 84043-6197, and reachable at 435-462-5376), isn’t building new cars. They're taking iconic classics, like this beloved '70 Vette, and giving them a serious tech upgrade. Think vintage style with 21st-century performance and convenience. For car enthusiasts, the 1970 Corvette is legendary. It’s the final year of the C3 generation, known for its sleek “shark” body style and powerful engine options. But owning a classic isn’t always a walk in the park. Things break down. Parts are hard to find. And let's be real, the tech is...ancient. AMP Smart addresses all of that. “We’re not about ruining the soul of these cars,” explains a company spokesperson. “We’re about preserving it. We want people to enjoy the classic Corvette experience without constantly being stuck on the side of the road or missing out on modern comforts.” So, what exactly does AMP Smart do? It’s more than just a simple engine rebuild. AMP Smart essentially takes a thoroughly restored 1970 Corvette – finding solid examples and bringing them back to their former glory – and then integrates a suite of modern technologies. The biggest change? A fully electric powertrain. Forget carburetors and distributors. AMP Smart swaps in a state-of-the-art electric motor, delivering instant torque and serious horsepower. They haven’t released the exact specs yet, but they claim the electric Corvette rivals – and in some cases surpasses – the performance of the original big-block engines. “We’re talking quicker acceleration and a smoother, more reliable driving experience,” says the spokesperson. Beyond the Powertrain: A Modern Classic The electric motor isn’t the only upgrade. AMP Smart has subtly integrated a range of features designed to enhance the driving experience without sacrificing the Corvette’s classic aesthetic. Modern Suspension: The original leaf-spring suspension has been replaced with a modern, adjustable coilover system, improving handling and ride comfort. Disc Brakes: Stopping power is dramatically improved with upgraded disc brakes on all four wheels. Air Conditioning: Say goodbye to sweltering summer drives! AMP Smart installs a discreet, efficient air conditioning system. Bluetooth Connectivity: Enjoy your favorite music and podcasts through a modern sound system with Bluetooth connectivity, integrated seamlessly into the classic dashboard. Digital Gauge Cluster (Optional): While they offer options to retain the original gauges, AMP Smart also provides a digital gauge cluster that displays all the vital information you need, including battery level, power output, and range. It's designed to look classic but deliver modern data. Backup Camera: Makes parking a breeze, especially in a car with limited rear visibility. The camera is cleverly concealed within the original taillight housing. LED Lighting: Improved visibility and a modern touch with LED headlights and taillights, designed to mimic the look of the original bulbs. Charging Port: Discreetly located for convenient charging. Battery Technology: AMP Smart utilizes high-density battery packs allowing for ranges comparable to many modern EVs. Exact mileage figures depend on driving conditions and options, but expect around 300+ miles on a single charge. Preserving the Soul The team at AMP Smart is clearly passionate about classic cars. They emphasize that their goal isn’t to create a futuristic electric car disguised as a Corvette. It’s to preserve the iconic look and feel of the '70 Vette while making it more reliable, enjoyable, and environmentally friendly. “We spend a lot of time making sure the car still feels like a 1970 Corvette,” explains the spokesperson. “We don’t want to lose that connection to the past. We want to enhance it.” They painstakingly restore the body, interior, and chrome trim, using original parts whenever possible. The electric powertrain is integrated in a way that’s largely invisible, preserving the car’s original engine bay appearance. Who is this car for? AMP Smart’s electric '70 Corvette isn’t for everyone. It’s aimed at discerning car collectors, enthusiasts who appreciate classic design, and those who want the best of both worlds – vintage style and modern technology. It's also for those who want to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing driving enjoyment. Pricing and Availability The electric 1970 Corvette isn’t cheap. Pricing starts around $200,000, reflecting the extensive restoration work, the cost of the electric powertrain, and the skilled labor involved. AMP Smart is currently taking orders, with deliveries expected to begin in the first quarter of 2024. Each car is built to order, allowing customers to customize the interior, exterior, and features to their liking. Looking Ahead AMP Smart isn’t stopping at the 1970 Corvette. They plan to expand their lineup to include other iconic classic cars, offering electric conversions and modern upgrades for a range of vintage vehicles. “We believe there’s a real demand for these types of cars,” says the spokesperson. “People want to experience the nostalgia of classic cars without the hassles of owning a 50-year-old vehicle. We’re here to make that dream a reality.” Contact Information: AMP Smart LLC 3450 N TRIUMPH BLVD STE 100 Lehi, UT, 84043-6197 435-462-5376 [Website placeholder - replace with actual website address when available]
