The Story
The 2016 Chevrolet Corvette C7.R Edition Convertible represents one of the most exclusive and desirable modern Corvettes ever produced. Created as a tribute to the immensely successful Corvette Racing C7.R program, this special-edition Z06 captured the spirit of the factory race car with its Corvette Racing Yellow finish, C7.R graphics and track-focused specification. For 2016, Chevrolet built just 80 C7.R Edition convertibles, and only 27 were equipped with the highly coveted 7-speed manual transmission, making this one of the rarest open-top C7 Corvettes ever offered.
Power comes from the formidable LT4 6.2L supercharged V-8 producing 650 HP, paired to the rare 7-speed manual transmission for a driving experience that is as visceral as it is rewarding. Competition bucket seats further enhance the purposeful, black leather cockpit, while the factory carbon ceramic brakes with yellow calipers underscore the car’s serious performance pedigree.
As a rare one-of-27 example in an already rare group, this Corvette stands at the top of the modern C7 collectible hierarchy. Offered with its owner’s manuals and two keys, and combining ultra-low production, stunning presentation, race-inspired heritage and analog driver involvement, this C7.R Corvette is without question one of the rarest and most desirable examples ever factory-built.
