The Chevrolet Corvette C8.R is a grand touring racing car built by Pratt & Miller for Corvette Racing for use in endurance racing. Styled by Vlad Kapitonov, the car is the successor to the Chevrolet Corvette C7.R, also built by the same company. First seeing competition in 2020, the C8.R competed in both the IMSA SportsCar Championship and the World Endurance Championship, as a GTE/GTLM homologated vehicle. In 2022 and 2023 the car also received a GTD kit to allow it to compete in the GTD Pro class among GT3 cars. Powered by a flat-plane 5.5L LT6 V8, the car has seen significant success in endurance racing competitions, particularly in the IMSA SportsCar Championship where Corvette Racing won the Teams', Constructors' and Drivers' championships in 2020 and 2021. The car was replaced by the Corvette Z06 GT3.R in 2024, homologated to GT3 specifications.

This mid-engine track star features a 5.5L DOHC V-8 with a flat plane crankshaft that churns out 500 horsepower, while its silky smooth six-speed sequential racing gearbox handles shifts with ease. It all adds up to make the C8.R another legendary Corvette race car.
