Introduction to the Corvette C7.R LM GTE AM
The Chevrolet Corvette C7.R LM GTE AM, depicted here in 1/43 scale, is a remarkable race car. This miniature was produced by Spark Minimax, a leading manufacturer of model cars in the collector's world. The original Chevrolet Corvette C7.R was built from 2014 to 2019 and belongs to the seventh generation (2014-2019) of the famous Corvette series. The C7.R was a real powerhouse on the race track, developed under the leadership of Doug Fehan and designed by Tom Peters. The race car was built based on the road version, the C7 Z06, and optimized for competition to participate in events like the FIA World Endurance Championship and the Tudor United SportsCar Championship.
Technical Specifications and Design
Under the hood, the Chevrolet Corvette C7.R featured a 5.5-liter V8 engine that produced around 491 horsepower. With a six-speed Xtrac gearbox and a modified aero package, this car was designed for high speeds and excellent control. The grille and air channels showed a significant increase in downforce, contributing to better stability. The braking systems were also extensively adjusted to meet the demanding requirements of endurance races. The predecessor of this generation was the Corvette C6.R, which was in use from 2005 to 2013. The new design of the C7.R included a reinforced aluminum chassis structure and a 40% increase in torsional stiffness compared to the C6.R.
Racing Achievements
In the world of motorsport, the Chevrolet Corvette C7.R achieved various successes. The vehicle won several races in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and achieved significant placements at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Drivers like Antonio García, Jan Magnussen, and the Taylor Brothers played a crucial role in these successes. In 2015, the C7.R won the driver's, manufacturer's, and team championships in the GTLM category of the IMSA series.
Distinctive Livery and Sponsors
The miniature presented here, based on the Chevrolet Corvette C7.R LM GTE AM of the Larbre Competition Team, features an extraordinary art livery called "Human." The striking paintwork consists of a creative mix of abstract shapes and colors that make the car unique and recognizable. Various sponsors such as Motul and Chassay are also visible.
