Callaway Cars have finally unveiled the Corvette AeroWagen after more than 3 years of leaving people on the edge wondering when they will see the real car from the company's vision. The C21 AeroWagen is a shooting-break conversion that everyone has been waiting and it not just beautiful. It is beyond stunning.

According to Fox News, the C21 AeroWagen conversion will only be available for the coupe's body style, although this can reverse depending on the owner's preference. The conversion will also be available for any Callaway custom Corvette or stock C7 and the Grand Sport and Z06. The conversion is pretty much straightforward, much like in the reveal project prior to the C7's launch.

Carbon fiber is used for the panels. The conversion replaces the original car's hatchback design with Callaway's redesigned AeroWagen assembly. The rear piece incorporates a wraparound rear glass retaining the defogger.

Plus, the new design of the C21 AeroWagen does not interrupt the car's removable roof panel. The company uses the original hardware and latching mechanisms.

The downside to this majestic beauty is that because the roof has been elongated and stretched to the rear of the car, there wouldn't be space for another set of seats. On the bright side, there is plenty of storage space.

According to Callaway, deliveries for the AeroWagen were supposed to start in December of last year. Seeing as how this is the first time we've laid eyes on the C7 shooting brake in the flesh, the team might be a little behind schedule. But we can forgive them because it looks awesome.

CarAndDriver reports that the standard kit for the C21 AeroWagen is priced at $14,990. Callaway Cars notes that this is inclusive of the "the Callaway carbon fiber AeroSpoiler." Also, by adding around $2980, the new vehicle can be painted with any Corvette OE color.

Callaway Cars also said that the conversion can be accomplished at their facilities in either California or Connecticut and also in their partner retailers. The company has close ties with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), similar to BMW's Alpina and Ford's Mountune.

The tuning company promised in 2013 that they will be making shooting brake conversions. The company has confirmed last Friday that the C21 AeroWagen will make its official debut at the 2017 Michelin NCM Bash. This is the annual get-together at the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky and is slated to run from April 27 to 29.
