Built to Win: The Corvette Story Everyone Gets Wrong

The 2016 Corvette Z06 C7R Edition is more than just a special edition Corvette, it’s a tribute to one of the most dominant eras in modern endurance racing. When people talk about Corvette racing history, they often point to the 1960s: the Grand Sport, Briggs Cunningham, and early Le Mans efforts. But the reality is very different. Corvette’s true racing legacy was built much later. Starting with the C5R in 1999, Corvette Racing became a serious factory program. That momentum carried into the C6R and reached another level with the C7R, with major wins at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring, and 24 Hours of Le Mans. This is where Corvette established itself as a global force in GT racing. The Corvette C7R Edition celebrates that success. Based on the C7 Z06, it features a supercharged 6.2L V8 producing 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, along with the Z07 performance package, carbon ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, and track-focused aerodynamics. With only 650 units produced worldwide, it’s one of the most collectible modern Corvettes. In this video, we break down the real story behind Corvette Racing, the significance of the C7R program, and why this car represents a turning point in Corvette history.
