The New 1000 HP, 220+ MPH Limited Edition Equus 'Throwback' Is Like A Corvette On Steroids

Equus Automotive

Back in 2014, Equus Automotive created what they called the “ultimate muscle car” in the now legendary Bass770, which took its cues in styling from the 1960s-era Ford Mustang.

Now, in 2018, Equus Automotive is back with another wicked supercar in the form of their new Throwback, which as they put it is “more than just a Corvette, it’s significantly upgraded,” putting it mildly.

With options all the way up to a 1000hp, 822 lb-torque engine and the ability to reach a top speed of 220+ mph and go from 0 to 60mph in just 2.5 seconds, the Equus Throwback is what a Corvette wants to be when it grows up.

While at first glance the Throwback looks like it is based on the C7 Corvette, however, its two center-mounted fog lights and its taillights are callbacks to the C3 Corvette. The split rear window design is similar in styling to the C2-generation Corvette and the side coves recall the very first generation. The entire body is made of carbon fiber, while the interior is filled with Alcantara and boasts diamond-quilted seats. Oh, and check out those exhaust pipes. Wow.

Throw in a starting price of $130,000 and the 25 cars Equus is planning on producing won’t be available for purchase very long. (If they aren’t already sold out.)
