Chevrolet Corvette GTP

Automobiles

The Chevrolet Corvette GTP was an American sports prototype racing car that competed in the IMSA Camel GT championship's GTP class from 1984 to 1989 as the factory Chevrolet Corvette C4 effort of General Motors. General Motors built it with Lola Cars International, whose T710 chassis first took a 3.4 litre turbocharged V6 and later a 5.7 litre V8, with Corvette-style bodywork at the front and Corvette tail lights. Seven cars were built. It won twice, both times in 1986, at Road Atlanta and Palm Beach, before General Motors cancelled its funding after the 1988 season. Peerless Racing carried on in 1989, and its car became the Eagle 700 for the 1990 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it failed to qualify.
