The Last Front Engine Corvette Race Car
The C7.R was again developed alongside its road-legal Corvette counterpart. It is the last front-engined Corvette race car and was developed by General Motors and Pratt & Miller with carbon-fiber bodywork over an aluminum monocoque from the production Corvette Z06. This car accumulated ten top-five finishes and helped Corvette Racing win the endurance triple crown in 2015 with class victories at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring. An accident in qualifying at the 24 Hours of Le Mans meant it did not start, but its stablemate C7.R was victorious in the LMGTE Pro class.
