Chevy has pulled the wraps off its 2012 Corvette Daytona Prototype, a mid-engine racer designed to compete in the Grand-Am Racing Series.
The car is a joint effort that involved Chevrolet, Pratt & Miller, Riley, Coyote, Dallara, and Grand-Am officials. The end result is a bona-fide race car with a number of unmistakable Corvette cues, including the traditional twin flag logo, hood design, and quad taillights. The car will allegedly be powered by a 5.0-liter small-block V-8, which is placed aft of the passenger cabin.
“Racing and performance are the founding principles of Chevrolet, and bringing the Corvette Daytona Prototype to Grand-Am is a tremendous opportunity,” said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet vice president, Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. “The opportunity for innovation is what makes the Daytona Prototype Class such a good fit for Chevrolet.
