GRAND BEGINNINGS.
The original Corvette Grand Sport was the product of an intense factory effort to defeat purpose-built North American and European competitors on race tracks around the world. The cars were engineered for ultra-light weight with an extensive use of aluminum, and featured an early use of 4-wheel disc brakes. A production run of 125 Grand Sports was originally planned, but only 5 prototypes - 3 coupes and 2 roadsters - were ever actually built. All 5 are still in existence. Not surprisingly, they're highly prized by collectors and valued in the millions.
RACING IMPROVES THE BREED.
The Corvette Team took that truism to the next level. They didn't just race. They won, over and over again, against such formidable competitors as Ferrari and Aston Martin, at gruelling events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans. They made Corvette the dominant racing sports car of its time. Then they took everything they learned and set about building something special. They specified the best of everything - the most powerful small-block V8 in history, high-tech Brembo® carbon ceramic brakes, custom-developed Michelin® Pilot Sport 2® tires, the works. The result is the ultimate road-going Corvette of all time: ZR1.
