National Corvette Museum

Where Adrenaline Meets Tradition®

[National Corvette Museum @corvettemuseum]

When General Motors unveiled the Corvette C7.R in 2014, its biggest innovation was hidden beneath the bodywork: an aluminum frame derived from the production C7 Corvette. The lighter, stronger chassis improved performance while strengthening the connection between Corvette race cars and the cars enthusiasts drive every day.

Raced by @PrattMillerMS from 2014 to 2019, the C7.R earned 16 victories worldwide, including a class win at the @24hoursoflemans in 2015. This tribute car, built on a C5 chassis and finished in C7.R bodywork, honors a generation of Corvette Racing that pushed performance and technology to new heights.

The modern era of Corvette Racing was built on cars like the legendary C5-R. Developed specifically for endurance competition, the C5-R helped establish Corvette as a dominant force in international sports car racing and laid the foundation for future success at Le Mans, Daytona, Sebring, and beyond. Powered by a 7.0L V8 and featuring a lightweight racing chassis, this factory-backed race car competed at the highest levels of endurance motorsport. Driven by names including Andy Pilgrim, Kelly Collins, Dale Earnhardt Sr., and Dale Earnhardt Jr., the No. 3 C5-R represents the beginning of Corvette Racing’s rise to global prominence.

As the @24hoursoflemans approaches, it’s worth looking back at the Corvette that first carried America’s Sports Car onto endurance racing’s biggest stage. This 1962 Corvette is the only Corvette to compete in the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans. Entered by Italy’s Scuderia Scirocco team and equipped with fuel injection, competition suspension, and factory performance upgrades, it raced until a fuel injection issue ended its run in the 14th hour. Today, this rare Corvette stands as a symbol of the brand’s earliest Le Mans ambitions. See it in person at the Museum.

The 2012 Corvette ZR1 paired a hand-built supercharged LS9 V8 producing 638 horsepower with carbon ceramic brakes, exposed carbon fiber, and a top speed over 200 mph. Even the hood window served a purpose, putting the supercharger on display beneath clear polycarbonate. This ZR1 is now part of the National Corvette Museum Sweepstakes and one winner will take it home. Enter now: https://t.co/ysRfwbklBx

Code name: Blue Devil 🔵

Originally built as a 2008 Corvette Z06, the Blue Devil was transformed by General Motors into the first C6 ZR1 prototype. Powered by a supercharged 638-horsepower LS9 V8, it previewed a new level of Corvette performance, becoming the foundation for a production car capable of exceeding 200 mph.

The nickname “Blue Devil” came from the project’s internal code name, a reference to Duke University’s mascot and the alma mater of then-GM CEO Rick Wagoner.

One of the defining characteristics of the 2011 Corvette ZR1 was its extensive use of carbon fiber, a material that helped engineers reduce weight in key areas of the car while advancing Corvette's approach to performance and innovation. General Motors built 806 Corvette ZR1s in 2011, and only 64 were finished in Crystal Red Metallic like this one. See it in person in our 'Driven to Preserve' exhibition: https://t.co/ep4VQUWBEE

Finished in rare Nassau Blue Metallic, this 2000 Corvette Convertible is one of only 209 Nassau Blue convertibles produced for 2000. With just 85 original miles, the car still retains its original dealer stickers and factory-installed plastic seat covers, preserving a near-showroom example of the C5 era.

As the green flag drops this Sunday for the Indianapolis 500, we’re looking back at one of Corvette’s most recognizable pace car appearances. In 1998, Corvette returned to the Brickyard as the official Indianapolis 500 Pace Car, exactly 20 years after making its debut at the race. General Motors built just five original track cars, each equipped with upgraded exhaust systems and freer-flowing intake manifolds that boosted output from 345 to 370 horsepower. This bold C5 Pace Car Replica remains a standout piece of Corvette performance history and racing heritage.

The National Corvette Museum is open regular business hours on Memorial Day, May 25, from 9:00 AM–5:00 PM CT. Plan your visit: https://t.co/zjJrKRfwot
