Corvette GT1 Championship Edition - new images

Chevrolet used the 12 Hours of Sebring race to show off the new Corvette GT1 Championship Edition. This makes sense considering this limited edition is commemorating the Corvette C6.R’s victories in the GT1 class of Le Mans series racing.

The point of the GT1 package is to make the streetable Vetts look like the race-only cars. Some details of the package include C6.R-inspired graphics featuring Corvette Racing "Jake" mascot and driver flags, ZR1-style body, full width spoiler, chrome wheels, and special engine cover with carbon pattern and yellow Corvette lettering. The colors available will be yellow with black trim or black with yellow trim.

The pricing for the package will is $65,310 for the 4LT coupe, $71,815 for the 4LT convertible, and $86,385 for the 2LZ Z06. Although this seems a little steep for an appearance package (about $7,500 premium for the coupe or convertible, and about $5,000 for the Z06), it also does buy exclusivity. Chevrolet only plans to sell 100 of each color in each body style (600 cars total).
