Corvette C7.R Revealed! [Update: just a render]

[Nate GM]

"The new seventh-generation Chevy Corvette Stingray has been making waves since its first stints in the hands of journalists around the world. Soon, it will be making new waves on track, in the form of the C7.R.

Previously only seen with a checkerboard camouflage wrap, the first photos of the new C7.R in full livery are out, and it looks just about like you'd expect: very good. At least, very racey--the jagged lines and black-and-yellow scheme are definitely not intended for the masses.

The liveries for the two-car Corvette Racing team are done in opposite effect; the #3 car being predominantly yellow with black accents, and the #4 its inverse.

Built by Pratt & Miller, the C7.R will compete in the newly formed United SportsCar Racing series, the successor to both Grand Am and the American Le Mans Series, with its competition debut scheduled for the 24 Hours of Daytona next January.

We'll have more details on the new C7.R race car shortly, but in the mean time, take a look and let us know which you like best. Based on first impressions, we're favoring the #4's scheme."

Sick and "automotive badassery..........level 10"

It looks fast just standing still!

Killer …. Love the grille opening, hood vent and other vents. Maybe these will end up on the 2015 or future models. The current egg crate plastic vents cheapen the current stock car. Hopefully, more aftermarket shops will come online soon and offer some decent replacement grille / vent choices.

Can't wait to see these cars leading the Porsche's and Ferrari's on the track

Unfortunately this has been debunked as being the C7.R :(

Via Road and Track:

Sorry, kids. Despite what the internet wants you to believe, this isn't the Pratt & Miller 2014 C7.R. Deviant Art user davcrea churned out these renderings back in February. Hot as hell, but not the real deal.
