The best way to pay tribute to the successful Corvette C6R Le Mans racer was to launch a special edition Vette, and GM has done it properly by making the GT1 Championship Edition. The car was recently introduced to the public at the Sebring International Raceway.

Only 600 units of this GT1 will be ever produced, 200 coupe, 200 convertible, and 200 Zo6. Its main distinctive feature is racing graphics all over the car plus the ZR1 style hood. Inside a whole new leather trim is available beside many GT1 tags! Ir comes in Velocity yellow or Black paintjob and feature special VIN sequential numbers, now that’s a very very important feature!!!

For coupe and convertible versions of the GT1 you can order a light performance upgrade package as well, more details on this can be found HERE.
