Description[]
The Chevrolet Corvette C7.R is a grand touring racing car built by Pratt & Miller for Corvette Racing for use in endurance racing in the GTE and GT3 classes. Styled by Ray Monahan, the Corvette C7.R is the successor to the Chevrolet Corvette C6.R. Officially unveiled at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, the Corvette C7.R is powered by a 5.5L LT5.5 V8 engine producing 491 horsepower. Competing in mainly the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the Corvette C7.R saw its competition debut at the 2014 24 Hours of Daytona; it would prove to be immediately competitive and won its first races that year. The Corvette C7.R would win a total of three drivers' and teams' championships and two constructors' championships, all in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The Corvette C7.R also competed in the FIA World Endurance Championship to some extent; the Corvette C7.R's biggest success abroad was the Corvette Racing factory team scoring a class win at the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans. Larbre Compétition also privately campaigned a Corvette C7.R for two full seasons in the WEC to some success, achieving a few podiums. The car was replaced in 2020 with the Chevrolet Corvette C8.R.
This casting features an up-sloped chin to optimize its performance in loops. Only for the 2016 Hot Wheels Entertainment version had the base modified to feature the real car's low front overhang and splitter.
