American car maker Chevrolet has taken the wraps of the 2016 Corvette Z06 C7.R Edition – a road-going, track-capable homage to the Corvette Racing C7.R racecars. The car looks brilliant and certainly looks to aim itself at competing with European sports cars. It’s being offered in Corvette Racing’s signature yellow livery – or black – with coordinated exterior and interior accents.
However, it will not be easy for customers to get their hand on this beautiful machine because only 500 examples of the C7.R Edition will be built, but what’s exciting is that all will include the Z07 Performance Package with carbon ceramic brakes, as well as a specially serialized vehicle identification number. And no one explained the car better than Harlan Charles, Corvette product and marketing manager who said, “Combined with the 650-horsepower supercharged LT4 engine, true aerodynamic downforce and performance technologies such as Magnetic Ride Control, Performance Traction Management and an electronic limited slip differential, the Corvette Z06 C7.R Edition offers capability matched only by an elite fraternity of the world’s supercars and special-edition exclusivity that is sure to make it an instant collector’s item.” Unfortunately though the car will only be available in the US market.
