It's neither a bird, nor an airplane. It's not even Superman, or the rear-engined Corvette people have been talking about. No. This is the 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Daytona Prototype, a machine that will take part in the next season of the Grand-Am Road Racing Series.
The vehicle, which is scheduled to make its motorsport debut at the Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway on January 28, will be used by four teams: the No. 90 Spirit of Daytona Racing, No. 10 SunTrust Racing, No. 99 GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing, and the No. 5 and No. 9 Action Express Racing.
Unfortunately, GM hasn't offered any details on the project, so we can only enjoy the photos for now. Who knows, maybe there's some Corvette C7 hidden somewhere around here...
"The 2012 Corvette Daytona Prototype was developed by a multi-faceted effort involving Chevrolet, Corvette Designers, Pratt & Miller and GRAND-AM. Chevrolet also worked closely with chassis builders Riley, Coyote and Dallara," said Mark Kent, GM Racing director.
