Corvette Grand Sport
The Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport is a lightweight race car variant of the C2-generation Chevrolet Corvette produced in 1963. Designed by Zora Arkus-Duntov, the Corvette Grand Sport intended to be a homologation special to allow the car to compete in international Grand Touring against cars like the Shelby Cobra, with 125 cars intended to be built to satisfy requirements. These were powered by a variety of engines although the most powerful was a 550 horsepower 377 ci (6.2L) V8; body panels were made of fiberglass and the cars inner body structure was of aluminum. The cars were raced by individuals such as Roger Penske, Jim Hall and A.J. Foyt. General Motors would quickly learn about the project and would terminate the program; five cars were built, these being some of the most collectible Corvettes today. The initial release resembles the #2 Corvette Grand Sport (chassis #003) raced at the 1964 12 Hours of Sebring.
