Chevrolet unveiled the Corvette C7.R race car to the Detroit Exhibition 2014, which was co-developed with the newest 2015 Corvette Z06.
These two cars represent the closest link in modern times between Corvettes street and race cars, sharing unprecedented levels of engineering and components including chassis architecture, engine technologies and aerodynamic strategies.
“When it comes to endurance racing, Corvette has been the benchmark of success for nearly 15 years,” said Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president, Performance Vehicles and Motorsports.
“A great deal of the team’s success can be attributed to the symbiotic relationship between Corvette Racing and the production vehicles.
The 2015 Corvette Z06 and new C7.R will be more competitive on the street and track due to successful design of the Corvette Stingray – which itself is heavily based on the C6.R race car.”
