Corbett (United States) - AllCarIndex

Corbett Motor Cars was an American automotive manufacturer founded by former aerospace engineer Adrian Corbett. The company operated primarily between 1986 and 1994, with facilities located in Santa Barbara, California, and later in Lompoc, California.

Initially, Corbett entered the automotive market by producing a kit car that was a replica of the Lamborghini Countach, based on a Volkswagen chassis. This venture, however, did not achieve commercial success. By 1992, Corbett shifted his focus and established Corbett Automotive Design.

In this new phase, Corbett introduced the Patriot, a distinctive vehicle characterized by its low-slung aerodynamic design, which bore no resemblance to existing models. The Patriot was based on the Pontiac Fiero and was offered in both kit and fully assembled forms. Priced at $85,000, the vehicle's high cost likely limited its sales in the turnkey market.
