Chevrolet offers an easy way for a street Corvette C8 to pass for a C8.R race car

If buying a spectacular Corvette C8, Chevrolet’s new mid-engine sports car, may be the dream of a lifetime, having a Corvette C8 covered with the cover that evokes its racing version, the Corvette C8.R, may be the icing on the cake or, simply, the indulgence that crowns the whim itself.

Either way, this accessory is clearly aimed at fans of Corvette Racing in competitions as fun and exciting as IMSA.

But it is also aimed at fans of the brand’s official driver, Spanish driver Antonio García, since, from the Chevrolet Accessories catalogue, it is possible to cover the car, evoking the one the Madrid native has been driving since 2020, since the C8.R was presented to make its debut in the season that saw races canceled or postponed, and now that we are eager for the imminent return of these cars’ activity, along with those of other brands, the prototypes will mix within 15 days at the legendary Daytona track, where, within the limited capacity allowed, the usual legion of Corvette fans will be present, flag in hand and equipped, with Jake as the protagonist.

In any case, for anyone who wants to cover and protect their brand-new Corvette C8 and make it pass for the Corvette C8.R of the Madrid native García and his teammates, Nicky Catsburg and Jordan Taylor, the latter a character of genius and flair, they will have to pay a fairly considerable sum.

Like a glove

And it is that almost 1,200 dollars is what the Corvette C8 cover and the bag where it can be stored when not covering the body of the car costs; the car proudly displays the livery and aerodynamic kit of the race car when not in use.

An accessory that allows not only trying to surprise friends and strangers who see, in front of the garage door of the prototypical American landscaped single-family home, none other than a “Corvette C8.R”.

Although it is more than advisable to keep the car inside the domestic garage since, according to Chevrolet’s specifications, the use of this cover for the street Corvette C8 is preferably for indoor use, protecting against dust and environmental dirt but not against inclement weather.
