Deutschman Design


	The Corvette was the base of an extremely fruitful collaboration between Callaway Cars and Deutschman Design. Callaway found in Deutschman's body designs the perfect complement to their own mechanical wizardry.
	Their first project together was code-named Sledgehammer. The mission of this one-off was to become the world's fastest street car. Deutschman's task was to design and produce the prototype bodywork so that the car would be aerodynamically stable up to 250 mph (over 400 km/hr!), have sufficient air intakes for various functions, be an aesthetic triumph and be easy to put into production. The car world was stunned when the Sledgehammer was tested on a closed circuit at 254 miles per hour making it the fastest street car ever.
		The basic body design of the Sledgehammer, called Aerobody, was then adapted to all production Callaway Corvettes. It is still enjoying successful sales after 6 years (over 600 units) of production. Critics have unanimously complimented the Aerobody's design.
	Callaway then called on Deutschman Design to produce a wild, open-top version of the Aerobody as its flagship. Simply called Speedster, it featured a unique greenhouse that wrapped around onto the rear deck and blended into the 2 rear headrest extensions. Introduced at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the Speedster was swamped with international media attention and sold to elitist auto collectors and Hollywood celebrities. In early 1994, Callaway Cars decided to enter a heavily modified Corvette in the world renown LeMans 24 Hour race of the same year. Naturally, the vehicle needed radically modified bodywork to cater to the specific needs of an endurance racing car...good aerodynamics, large fixed headlights, sufficient air intakes...plus it had to look great. The Callaway LM, with Deutschman-designed bodywork, not only earned pole position at LeMans but it went on to win a number of prestigious international races in the 1994 season.

After canvassing many design studios, Callaway settled on that of Canadian Paul Deutschman.

It's the handsomest Corvette remake we've ever seen. The stunning exterior provided plenty of visual horsepower too. We couldn't have attracted more attention if we had Madonna along for the ride.
CAR AND DRIVER

Because Reeves (Callaway) wanted a serious aerodynamic restyle, he sought the services of stylist Paul Deutschman from Montreal... Paul came through with an absolutely stunning package.

Rarement aura-t-on vu une aussi belle Corvette. On doit son dessin au nouveau prodige de la marque, le Canadien Paul Deutschman.

	Judging by the reaction at the Geneva Auto show, The C-12 is a worthy addition to Callaway's remarkable lineup of automobiles. Built in partnership with IVM, a German-based engineering giant, the C-12 is a road car destined to continue Callaway's dominance in GT-2 racing on the great circuits of the world. Deutschman Design, co-operating closely with Callaway and IVM, saw the program from design concept through to final computer modeling. Employing highly innovative design techniques, Deutschman Design was able to sharply increase design quality while reducing development time to levels which are truly ground breaking in the industry.

Callaway Freelander a Hit at SEMA Show in Las Vegas

It is not surprising to learn that SUV's spend the majority of their lives driving on paved roads, rather than off-road. Knowing this, Land Rover commissioned Callaway Cars to produce a Freelander that would have street performance to match its off-road abilities. The resulting vehicle, named the Callaway Freelander, has a beautifully installed supercharger that boosts power output by nearly 50% and has tuned, lowered suspension and competition brakes. Deutschman Design was commissioned for the body modifications which include a front spoiler with carbon fiber brake ducts, skirt-effect side rockers and a rear diffuser strip with a billet aluminum exhaust heat shield.

Introduced on the Ford Motor stand at the SEMA show in Las Vegas, the Callaway Freelander was an instant hit which, with any luck, will soon be in the showrooms.

Callaway Cars is an American-based company whose mission is to produce automobiles that are exquisite in both performance and design. In certain cases, this means modifying a good existing platform to create a truly great automobile. By all accounts, the Callaway C-8 CamAerobody is such an automobile.

By applying the best of all eras design philosophy, Deutschman has endowed the C-8 with a body design that has a distinct character and yet retains a harmony throughout.

Oh, Canada... CamAerobody...a beautifully striking design penned by Canadian Paul Deutschman. Madonna dressed for a concert and pumping gas at the local self-serve would get less attention.

...the Paul Deutschman-
penned CamAerobody most certainly is my style. It's a head-turning shape, pleasingly different but not overdone.
