Chevolet is coming back to endurance racing with the Corvette Z06 GT3.R. The car was unveiled a few days before the 2023 Rolex 24 At Daytona.
But don’t search for pictures with it, because the car did not competed in this event. According to Chevrolet, the track debut will take place next year.
The car is based on the same V8 5.5 liter which delivers 600 horsepower. Don’t be sad, but this is regulation limit. Another important fact is that the racing model shared over 70% of its components with the standard 5.5 liter unit.
There are lots of aerodynamic modifications and technical updates on suspension and steering.
“The Corvette Z06 GT3.R breaks new ground for Chevrolet and the Corvette Racing program. This customer-focused race car leverages learnings from throughout Corvette Racing’s lengthy and successful history, plus the expertise of our Corvette production design, engineering, and powertrain teams”, said Mark Stielow, director of GM Motorsports Engineering Competition.
