A Man From Netherlands Created This Remote Controlled Corvette

This Corvette Is Anything But A Toy

The Chevrolet Corvette is one highly coveted machine. It has long held the fascination of the automotive community and boasts fans worldwide.

While some owners look to keep them as original as possible, others make modifications and add their own personal touches to the car. But one Dutch owner, Bjorn Harms, turned his 2006 Corvette C6 into a remote-control car.

The car can be driven as a typical car or using the controller Harms built — which means he can drive it from the passenger seat or standing outside the vehicle. What was this guy up to?

According to the 34-year old ex-soilder, it was relatively simple to add a servo motor to both the throttle and the shifter. The steering wheel is controlled by a custom sprocket on the steering axle attached to a powerful motor by a chain.

This is not something you wake up one day and settle down to work on. There is some thought that has to go into it, and some effort to.

“I always had this idea since I was a kid, especially being a big fan of Knight Rider and building KITT replicas as a hobby, I wanted to push my builds to another level,” he says. It is well fitted with safety features, just in case anything goes wrong.

Harms said the brake has two servos that receive additional cooling and the throttle lets off completely should something go wrong. There is also one designed to brake the car should it get out of range.

He says his creation receives all sorts of reactions including cool, crazy, fantastic, dangerous, and amazing.
We agree with him. It is all these and much more.
