To celebrate the success of Corvette in sports car racing – and in particular the prestigious Le Mans 24-Hour event – a limited series of just 250 ‘Victory Edition’ Corvette Coupes is being produced. Since Corvette Racing made its debut in 1999, the team has won over 50 races, including five class wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 2001 and 2006.
The Victory Edition Corvette is based on the Corvette C6 Coupe. It comes with the LS2 6.0L V-8 engine producing 297 kW (404 hp) and 546 Nm of torque. A six-speed manual gearbox is standard, with the option of an electronically controlled 6-speed Paddle Shift transmission with automatic modes.
The Victory Edition Corvette is available in two colors reflecting the Corvette racing heritage, Black or Velocity Yellow and features Competition Grey aluminium wheels, 18-inch front and 19-inch rear. A body-color wide rear spoiler is a further distinguishing feature.
The interior features two-tone leather seats with Corvette flag emblems and contrasting stitching. Cars with the black exterior feature an ebony and red theme, while ebony and titanium grey colors mark the interior of Velocity Yellow cars. Both interiors are further enhanced by Competition Grey door-sill plates and a carbon-look interior trim package.
Every Corvette Victory Edition will get a numbered car identification badge. And, as part of their ownership experience, buyers are invited to participate in a free-of-charge 1-day Corvette-drivers training event with professional instructors at selected race tracks across Europe.
The Corvette Victory Edition will be available in Europe starting in early March 2007.
