Let's Begin...
After months of discussion, planning, designing, refining, crafting, and building, we’re excited to unveil the next evolution of a Time Attack machine: C6-HASTE. This is not just a concept. It is a fully functional track weapon built to push the limits of automotive performance.
From its early debut at SEMA 2023 to this moment, the journey has been a true reflection of hard work, persistence, and dedication. It represents a shared vision to go beyond perceived limits and continue evolving through the process of creation and discovery.
Heritage + Functionality
We set out to preserve the authentic beauty of the C6 Corvette’s iconic lines while expanding its potential for serious track performance. Improving high-speed aerodynamics was a key focus, driving revisions to the front bumper, lip, front fenders, side skirts, rear 3/4 panel, diffuser, wing, and uprights.
The wheel arches were reworked to maximize suspension clearance, allowing the car to sit 3 inches lower than before while increasing track width for improved stability and presence.

Design Process
In our design discussions, we drew inspiration from the legendary C6R race car, known for honoring the original DNA while advancing functionality for racing. The goal was to respect the C6R’s legacy while introducing a more progressive, track-focused evolution.
This was achieved through the development of new negative space elements, including the removal of the rear bumper while retaining the iconic Corvette tail lights. The front bumper underwent multiple iterations to strike a balance between the original design language, the influence of the C6R, and an expanded track width, resulting in a signature MHC final form.
Everything was brought together in CGI for final renders, where we often leverage the power of high-quality HDRIs to push the work toward a heightened level of photorealism.
Fun Fact: The HASTE C6 wing width has increased by over 22 cm / 8.6 in compared to the previous iteration.
Negative space
From this perspective, you can observe the negative space carved within the original body lines of the C6. Widening the body naturally elongated its already curvaceous lines, allowing design elements to find their organic form. After setting the design parameters, the build evolved through iterative processes until the final shapes emerged.

Fun Fact - The C6V3 body width has increased over 15cm/5.9in to fit the new components / design.
New Oppertunities
This project signifies a new era for us, incorporating a new pipeline and workflow utilizing a wonderful CAD software called Plasticity we were able to achieve perfect CAD surfaces that can go directly to production. While introducing a new tool posed challenges, it unlocked a realm of new opportunities for perfect forms replicable in manufacturing. This is the first of many future builds that will utilize this workflow.

Fun Fact - The C6V3 front and rear fender height clearance has increased by 8cm/3in from the stock Z06 giving Feras much more room to run various different track setups. All in the marginal gains!
Our Mission
Our main goal at MHC is to connect and collaborate with those who strive for excellence. This journey is about forging new friendships and partnerships to grow and learn collectively. This project embodies our passion for automotive and design, setting a new trajectory for our growth and development. Alone, we may go faster, but together, we go further.
