The C6 series Corvette was unveiled in 2004 and went on sale in the US in 2005, with official British imports also available that year. Arriving in Spring 2007, the Victory Edition celebrated the Corvette as 5-time Le Mans GT1 Champion 2001-2006, utilising the 404bhp version of the LS2 V8, front engine and rear-wheel drive with a weight of just 1420kg, 6000cc, 395bhp, and 400ft-lbs of torque at 4000rpm. Produced in only two colours, Black or Velocity Yellow, it wore Competition Grey 18" aluminium front wheels and 19-inch rears. The interior featured two-tone leather seats embossed with the iconic flag emblems.
Supplied new by the official UK concessionaire Stratstone Corvette and Cadillac, Reading, this particular car, No. 23 of 250, was specified in Black with the complementing Ebony and Red interior, with Grey door sill plates, carbon-look interior trim and a unique numbered 'Victory Edition’ badge on the console. With the factory build-sheet confirming the factory specified ‘Option Z51 - Sports Package’, it has evidently seen previous ownership with a member of the Corvette Club UK and has been well-maintained by the current owner.
Whether it’s to experience an icon of the road for a great drive, a track day, or a trip to Europe, this is an opportunity to own a limited edition C6 with the naturally aspirated 400bhp LS2 V8, pulling 400lbs of all-American muscle at 4, 400rpm.
The Corvette is fitted with a Tracker that the new owner could re-activate with a subscription.
