Chevrolet Corvette C7.R Clear Body (GT2)
for 1:8 GT (Long wheelbase)
#1546-40, $40

Chevrolet®’s Corvette™ C7.R has the set the worldwide sportscar racing scene on fire since its debut, capturing the triple-crown of GTLM-class endurance racing with wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, 24 hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring.

PROTOform brings Corvette Racing’s championship heritage to 1:8 GT Class racing with the officially-licensed Corvette™ C7.R race body. From the signature Corvette™ muscular stance and swept-back roofline, to the large front splitter and side vents, every detail of the 1:1 race car is captured to add scale realism to the world of 1:8 GT. The extensive decal sheet lets you deck out your C7.R with Corvette™ branded windshield headers, “Jake” skull hood logo, number plates, and USA flags. Included with the body is an add-on rear wing, secured with three oversized nylon screws and featuring 2 trim-lines and spill-plate sizes: a lower line for sanctioned racing, and an upper line for low-grip club racing.

This body fits 1:8 GT cars with the longer (GT2) wheelbase of 360mm, such as the Kyosho Inferno GT2. GT1 class racers, don’t fret: a shorter wheelbase version (328mm) of the C7.R is coming soon.
