Corvette
Competition: special edition at a special price
Limited-edition model with strong links to motor sport
Limited production, competitive price
Rear spoiler from Z06 and alloy wheels in dark grey
In addition to the limited-edition Corvette Victory Edition,
a second special version of the all-American sports car will
be introduced this spring, the Corvette Competition. This
model, built in limited numbers on the basis of the C6 Coupé,
bears strong links to motor sport too, in which the Corvette
has proven highly successful. The Corvette Competition will
be offered at a competitive price.
The new Corvette Competition is launched to celebrate the
start of a new racing season. The 56th edition of the
legendary Sebring Twelve Hours on 15 March was the first
race in the American Le Mans Series championship (ALMS). In
Sebring Corvette Racing scored another double victory in the
GT1 category. The special Competition version of
ALMS-champion Corvette bears subtle resemblances to the
successful C6.R race car. The number of available options on
the new car is limited, in order to save as much weight as
possible. Another point in common are the air scoops with
honeycomb pattern in the front grill and in between the
double twin exhaust pipes at the rear. The rear spoiler,
borrowed from the Z06 model, not only contributes to
excellent aerodynamic properties but is evidence to the
Corvette’s fine motor sport heritage as well. The bold looks
of the Corvette Competition are complemented by 5-spoke
alloys (18 inch at the front, 19 inch at the rear) in the
color Competition Grey. Another distinguishing feature of
this limited-edition Corvette is its body color: black.
The Corvette Competition boasts a 6.2 V8 engine and choice
of a 6-speed manual gearbox or automatic transmission.
Delivery of the new Corvette model starts in April 2008, and
the car can be ordered from authorized Corvette dealers as
of now.
