2019 Corvette Drivers Series Models


January 25, 2019



Chevrolet today introduced the 2019 Corvette Drivers Series special edition Grand sport models designed in collaboration with the Corvette Racing Team.
Each of the four versions has a specific exterior color and unique graphics package inspired by Corvette Racing drivers Tommy Milner, Oliver Gavin, Jan Magnussen and Antonio Garcia.
"The Corvette Drivers Series celebrates Corvette Racing's winning legacy, which is driven by a world-class team of drivers from around the globe." said Steve Majoros, director of Chevrolet passenger car and crossover marketing. "Each driver worked with Chevrolet designers on the graphics for their respective edition, giving the cars distinctly personalized appearances."
Offered on Grand Sport 1LT, 2LT and 3LT trims, the color and graphics packages for the vehicles include:
  • Tommy Milner Edition: Elkhart Lake Blue exterior with silver stripes and red hash marks, body-color mirrors, black wheels with red stripes and red brake calipers. Jet Black Suede interior (leather seats on 1LT) with red seat belts.
  • Oliver Gavin Edition: Shadow Gray exterior with Torch Red center stripe and Torch Red hash marks, Carbon Flash mirrors, black wheels with red stripe, red brake calipers. Adrenaline Red interior with red seat belts.
  • Jan Magnussen Edition: Arctic White exterior with Crystal Red stripes and gray hash marks, body-color mirrors, black wheels with red stripe and red brake calipers. Jet Black interior and red seat belts; red stitching on 3LT trim.
  • Antonio Garcia Edition: Racing Yellow exterior with "Jake" stinger stripe, red hash marks, Carbon Flash mirrors, black wheels with red stripe and red brake calipers. Jet Black interior; yellow stitching on 3LT trim.
Each edition receives a driver-specific interior plaque and other unique trim details, and models with the 3LT trim include carbon fiber interior trim.
Similar to the Corvette Racing C7.R race cars, the Grand Sport-based Drivers Series models feature a naturally aspirated V-8 engine. The 6.2L LT1 engine is rated at 460 horsepower (343kW) and also like the race cars feature a dry-sump oiling system designed to support high-performance track driving.
The Corvette Drivers Series packages are available this spring and have an additional MSRP of $4,995 for 1LT and 2LT trims and $5,995 for the 3LT trim.

Fast Fact: Since 1999 Corvette Racing has won 99 races in IMSA competition. That's the most of any professional sports car racing team based in North America.
