The first factory-backed Chevrolet GT3 race car will make its competitive debut in a year at the Rolex 24 2024 in Daytona.
Corvette Z06 GT3.R based on current mid-engine Corvette C8 Z06 and uses a 5.5 liter V8 engine derived from production Z06. The GT3.R is built around an aluminum chassis from Chevrolet’s Bowling Green Assembly. Then, Pratt Miller welded a steel coil cage to the chassis. The Z06 GT3.R also uses 18-inch wheels, like its racing predecessor, the C8.R.
Tadge Juechter, Corvette’s chief executive engineer, said:
“Corvette Racing has had an important influence on the design of Corvette production cars for 25 years. The racing and corvette production teams worked closely together during development to maximize the benefits of the mid-engine design, sharing lessons learned that helped set both programs to achieve all-around performance on the track.”
