Vehicle Description
This limited-edition Corvette paid homage to the already very
successful C7.R race cars, and then went on to win the Drivers,
Team, and Manufacturers championship in the WeatherTech Sportscar
series in 2016, AFTER this car was built! It is essentially a
street legal race car, is already a collector's item being #319 of
500 built, and is bound to stay that way due to the success it
achieved in its year of production.
Can a sportscar look any better than this Black Corvette? We doubt
it. Everything about it is just bad to the bone. The "visible
carbon ground effects package" is race car aero on the street. It
just about blends in with the paint on this black car which creates
a ghost stripe effect that is echoed in the black graphics on the
hood. The Carbon Ceramic brakes with their Yellow calipers
complimented by a thin yellow stripe on the black wheels are also
on display for all the world to see. The only other color on the
car is splashes of it in the crossed racing flags on the nose and
tail and the Z06 badges on the front fenders. The quad exhaust
pipes out the back of the car sandwiched between the rear ground
effects tunnels not only look good but sound awesome at full
throttle. And with its one street-oriented feature, a removable
Targa roof, you can listen to those sounds instead of the stereo if
you wish.
For all the cutting-edge race-oriented technology and ground
effects evident on the outside, when you open the door, you will
find an interior packed with all the modern comfort and convenience
features that you would expect in a world class supercar. It is
beautifully trimmed out in supple Black leather with suede
microfiber accents and yellow stitching. The door panel itself is a
work of industrial art with sweeping lines integrating a
comfortable armrest, controls for windows, locks and hands-free
tech, as well as several speakers for the Bose sound system if you
choose to listen to it instead of the sounds of the exhaust. The
seats are power adjustable, heated, vented and comfortable. The
flat bottom steering wheel is an amazing combination of a
race-oriented with paddle shifters as well as controls for tech at
your finger-tips so you never have to take you hands off of it. A
carbon fiber dash contains displays for all the gauges in front of
the driver including a G-meter, as well as all the systems like
climate control, stereo and navigation in the center.
Moving on to what technology has brought us in the way of race tech
for the street, you can pop the hood and check out the 6.2-liter
LT4 engine that pumps out 650 supercharged horsepower. An engine
topper announces it as the Corvette LT4 engine and frankly, most of
the other mechanical magic is hard to see, but easy to feel when
you mash on the gas pedal. The power flows back to an 8-speed,
paddle shifted, automatic transaxle with its own cooling system
mounted at the back of the car providing perfect race car weight
and balance. Carbon Ceramic brakes not only provide amazing fade
free stopping ability from the speeds this car is capable of, but
they reduce un-sprung weight, improving the handling in the
process. The fully independent suspension uses carbon fiber mono
leaf springs both front and rear and power rack and pinion steering
provides precise control. The rubber meets the road through
Michelin PS Cup 2 tires developed especially for the Vette which
are 335/25ZR20 in the back and 285/35ZR19s in the front mounted on
those awesome C7.R wheels.
