The first signed special edition in Corvette’s 54-year history, the Corvette Z06 "Ron Fellows edition" marks the contribution of the Canadian racer to the success of the Corvette racing program. Only 399 are planned for production, with 33 destined for Europe.
The special-edition is distinguished by unique interior and exterior appointments. The Corvette Z06 is only available in Arctic White that is accented with a racing-style fender stripe and Ron Fellow’s autograph. The front fender graphics are reminiscent of the identifying graphics of the Corvette GT1 race car. They feature double Monterey Red Metallic stripes with Machine Silver borders and Fellows’ autograph in a contrasting Victory Red shade.
Special interior equipment includes red seats, console, door trims and instrument panel. The red leather armrest, featuring the Corvette crossed flags logo is signed and numbered inside by hand.
Ron Fellows is regarded as a key part of the team’s 51 victories since its creation in 1999. He scored Corvette Racing’s first victory in 2000 and went on to become a three-time American Le Mans Series GT1 champion, a 24 Hours of Le Mans class winner and an overall winner in the Rolex 24 at Daytona with Corvette Racing. In 2005 and 2006 his efforts supported team-mates Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta on their way to successive ALMS titles.
“Ron Fellows is part of Corvettes racing heritage and he has been instrumental in the remarkable success of the Corvette Racing team in the American Le Mans Series,” said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager.
The Corvette Z06 ‘Ron Fellows edition’ will be available in a limited number of European markets.
