Last chance to buy ‘Special Edition’ Corvette models

2nd October 2007 Print
Corvette Victory Edition Stocks of two very special ‘Limited Edition’ Corvette Coupe sportscars are running low, so UK motorists should hurry to reserve a ‘Victory Edition’ or a ‘Ron Fellows Edition’ Corvette before supplies are exhausted.

The ‘Victory Edition’ Corvette, which was produced to celebrate the remarkable success of Corvette in sports car racing, with more than 50 race wins and five class victories in the Le Mans 24 Hours, is priced from £42,990.

Based on the Corvette C6 Coupe, which shares strong links with the Corvette C6.R race car and the high performance Corvette Z06, the ‘Victory Edition’ is powered by a 6-litre V8 engine producing 404 hp and 546 Nm of torque, matched to a rear-mounted transaxle that gives perfectly balanced weight distribution. A six-speed manual gearbox is standard, with the option of an electronically controlled six-speed Paddle Shift transmission with automatic modes.

Available in two colours reflecting the Corvette racing heritage, Black and Velocity Yellow Tintcoat, the ‘Victory Edition’ Corvette is distinguished by Competition Grey aluminium wheels and a wide body-colour rear spoiler. The interior boasts two-tone leather seats with Corvette flag emblems and contrasting stitching, plus a premium Bose seven-speaker sound system, a carbon-look interior trim package and a unique, numbered ‘Victory Edition’ badge.

Limited edition Corvette celebrates racing legend Ron Fellows
The Corvette Z06 ‘Ron Fellows Edition’ marks the incredible contribution of the Canadian racer to the success of the Corvette racing programme. Just 399 examples are being produced to meet global demand, with 33 destined for Europe and just six for the UK, priced at £59,990 and only available in Arctic White.

The highly exclusive model is distinguished with Ron Fellows’ autograph, plus unique Arctic White paint accented with a racing-style fender stripe, a full-width racing-type rear spoiler, polished 10-spoke aluminium wheels and a unique windscreen header band.

The ‘Ron Fellows Edition’ is based on the Corvette Z06 and features the LS7 V8 engine, generating 512 hp (377kW) at 6300 rpm. In first gear, this very special Corvette accelerates from 0-to-62 mph in just 3.9 seconds and powers ahead to a top speed of 199 mph.
