Chevrolet
Corvette IMSA GTLM Championship C8.R Edition (2022)

Why it matters

The edition marks the Corvette C8.R race car's IMSA GTLM championships of 2020 and 2021, won with Antonio Garcia and Jordan Taylor. It was the C8 generation's numbered commemorative model for 2022, sold in a shortened model year that also brought the first right-hand-drive Corvettes.

How rare is it?

Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Chevrolet offered the IMSA GTLM Championship Edition on the 2022 Stingray, priced at $6,595 above the standard car, in Accelerate Yellow or Hypersonic Gray with the race team's graphics. A separate page of the same source describes a 1,000-car cap, while the generation guide gives the build as 1,007.

The C8.R it commemorates debuted at Daytona in January 2020 and won the IMSA GTLM drivers', team and manufacturers' championships in 2020 and 2021, plus the 2021 Rolex 24. The 2022 model year lasted eight months, with 25,831 Corvettes built in total.
