For the discerning Corvette enthusiast, finding a vehicle that
flawlessly bridges the gap between track-bred heritage and refined
street presence is a rare event. We are proud to present this
limited-production 2022 Corvette C8.R IMSA GTLM Championship
Edition. As one of only 1,000 built, it is a one-year-only special
edition that perfectly blends real motorsport pedigree with
undeniable showroom presence.
This specific example pays direct homage to the No. 4 Corvette C8.R
race car that famously dominated the IMSA GTLM competition. It is
finished in a striking Hypersonic Gray Metallic, elegantly offset
by Hyper Yellow full-length racing stripes. The exterior trim
further elevates the aesthetic, featuring Carbon Flash mirror caps,
a track-ready front splitter, and a distinctive high-wing
spoiler.
The car rests on beautifully finished Carbon Flash 5-spoke wheels,
complete with the iconic Jake logo center caps. Framing those
wheels are bright yellow painted brake calipers, enhancing its
aggressive look while tying the exterior color palette together
perfectly.
At its heart lies the naturally aspirated 6.2L LT2 V8, producing a
commanding 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. Every ounce of that
power is managed by an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission
that delivers lightning-fast shifts. Because it is equipped with
the highly coveted Z51 Performance Package, the driving experience
is elevated with a performance exhaust and an electronic
limited-slip differential. Furthermore, it includes Magnetic
Selective Ride Control for outstanding ride and handling precision
on any road.
Opening the door reveals a meticulously crafted Sky Cool Gray and
Strike Yellow leather interior. The cabin features deeply
supportive GT2 seats and yellow seatbelts, offering a sophisticated
yet undeniably driver-focused environment.
What truly sets this C8.R apart is its meticulous level of
preservation. Showing only 2,330 original miles, it remains in
collector-grade condition, retaining its delivery-day freshness. To
ensure it stays absolutely pristine, the previous owner applied
Paint Protection Film covering the nose, rockers, and A-Pillars. As
a final touch of care, the entire vehicle was wrapped in a 10-year
rated Ceramic Coating completed by The Throttlestop in 2022. This
is a highly curated piece of Corvette racing history, ready for its
next caretaker.
