Chevrolet is releasing 250 ‘Victory Edition’ Corvette coupés to celebrate the success of its race team in recent years. The limited edition coupés are based on the standard C6 road car with its 400bhp LS2 6.0 litre V8 (not the storming Z06), with either a manual or automatic gearbox available.
The cars are only available in either black or ‘velocity yellow twincoat’ and all have Competition Grey alloy wheels; a bodycoloured rear spoiler is also fitted. The interior has had a typical limited edition makeover, with a choice of two-tone leather seats depending on the exterior colour chosen. The luxury pack is standard, with its sat nav and heads up display.
Corvette racing has won more than 50 international GT races since making its debut in 1999, with 5 class victories at Le Mans between 2001 and 2006.
Expect to pay £51,285 for the manual car, and £53,685 for the paddle shift auto.
