Chevrolet Corvette C6.R

The Chevrolet Corvette C6.R is a grand tourer racing car built by Pratt Miller and Chevrolet for endurance racing, a replacement for the C5-R that took the body style of the sixth generation Corvette. Since its debut in 2005 it has continued the C5-R tradition with American Le Mans Series championships and wins in the Le Mans Series, the FIA GT Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It came in a GT1 version with 590 horsepower, carbon ceramic brakes and aggressive aerodynamics and a GT2 version with 470 horsepower and cast-iron brakes. Because the race and road cars were developed together, the C6.R shares exterior styling with the Z06. It keeps the Katech-built 7.0 litre V8 as the LS7.R, added a rear-view camera and air conditioning, and the GT1 version retired from competition by 2012.
