[Sxynix]

If you’re looking to own one of the most significant modern Corvettes ever built you better act fast. Thanks to a listing on Fantasy Brokers, you have the opportunity to own one of the 2014 C7.R Corvette race cars built and campaigned by Pratt & Miller racing. Chassis #003 is one of the most successful modern Corvette race cars with a winning pedigree and the ability to challenge the best of the GTLM and GTAM classes but you’ll need to be ready to pay the $950,000 price tag.

Today you have the chance to own a piece of Corvette history and one of the last great front-engine Corvette race cars. C7.R Chassis #003 has quite a pedigree winning the Rolex Daytona 24 and 12 hours of Sebring in 2015. Chassis #003 also saw action at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen, Long Beach, and Road Atlanta.

The C7.R Corvettes built by Pratt & Miller in conjunction with GM marks a decade's long partnership to build the best racing Corvettes possible. Although the C7.R may look like a C7 Corvette with an aero from the photos, a huge amount of the car is changed to go racing. For starters, the roofline is 3.0-inches lower and the body is widened by 8.0-inches. All of the exterior body panels are carbon fiber that was massaged by a wind tunnel for optimal aerodynamic performance.

Power comes from the battle-tested LS7 V8 engine that was debored to only 5.5-liters to meet racing regulations. This front-mounted engine is home to highly engineered internals, which means this engine still produces an impressive 574 horsepower (428 Kilowatts). The racing LS7 is mated to a 6-speed transaxle that has proven to be reliable during the turmoil of endurance racing.
