Founded in 1997 by racing brothers Chuck and Lance Mallett, Mallett Performance Cars builds and tunes high-performance GM vehicles, from complete Corvette conversions to power upgrades for Colorado and Canyon trucks. The Charlotte-area company grew out of decades in motorsports, where the Malletts developed chassis and engine systems for endurance racing before turning that experience toward race-quality street cars. Today it also brings the same engineering approach to classic-car restomods and Mini Cooper sales and service.

Hutter Performance, opened by the family in 2003, applies that competition experience to custom street and race vehicles for individual owners and teams from its Chardon facility.
