Grand Monaco collection by Gresso

$2,700

Gresso presents an exclusive Grand Monaco collection model, designed entirely in extravagant black color. The Pure Black phone is a true reflection of sophisticated style inspired by leading-edge supercars.

The new model is released in two editions: Pure Black Cayman with crocodile leather and Pure Black Carbon with Italian carbon leather. The phone case is executed from high resistant and light titanium alloy covered with several high-tech ceramics layers. Due to this, the surface texture becomes mate and velvet.

For the first time in the Grand Monaco collection the numeral keyboard is set on the plate of black toned glass. The phone screen is also protected with 42 carat sapphire glass polished by hand with a diamond tool.

The keyboard of the device is crafted from surgical steel. The accurate and impeccable shape of every key button is created due to precision cutting technology. The titanium PVD-surface coats the keyboard which makes it mirror- black and resistant to the mechanical damages.

The Gresso company follows the traditions of hand work on all stages of creating the new phone, from hand polishing of every detail to individually assembling the handset by a single craftsman.

The Pure Black model which is limited to 100 copies, is available for sale  only at authorized Gresso dealers and at online-boutique www.gresso.com.

Nm at 6200 rpm.  This engine is mated to a a manual 5-shift gearbox with ceramic clutch and a Dana 44 differential and runs through a 45-millimetre diameter Edelbrock exhaust manifolds coupled with a stainless steel exhaust system with only 2 silencers. The chassis consists of an in-house tube frame manufactured in cooperation with Foose Design in the USA.

Besides LS7 fuel injectors, aggressive camshafts and a direct, open intake with tip cone filter, and the exhaust flow, all was tuned to optimum level.  With these modifications, the completely tuned Classic runs  0 - 100 kms/h in a mere 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 288 kms/h.
It features a sports brake system taken from the Corvette LS5 with perforated, internally ventilated brake discs , sized 330 mm (front) and 300 mm (rear), actuated at the front by six-piston and at the rear by four-piston callipers. Its  3-part POGEA RACING wheels, 9.5Jx18 at the front and 12Jx19 on the rear axle, houses Bridgestone Potenza 265/40 R 18 and 305/30 R 19 tyres

Red and white also dominate the vehicle interior which is a combination of carpeting and smooth leather.  A Vallelunga steering wheel with flattened lower rim and seats out of the Cobra ensure more legroom compared to the standard interior. Together with an Alpine multi-media system including satnav, a retro-fitted AC unit and servo-steering, POGEA upgraded almost all of the car's electronics to prepare the Corvette for reliable use
