Description[]
The Corvette Stingray Racer, officially the XP-87 during development, was a Chevrolet Concept Car designed by Bill Mitchell, Pete Brock, and Larry Shinoda. Developed off of the Q-Corvette project and the Corvette SS racing car and powered by a 4.6 L "Small Block" engine, the Stingray Racer would go on to influence the design of the C2. The Stingray Racer became a casting in 2003.
The Stingray featured as car #07 of the Highway 35 anniversary event, driven by Mark Wylde of Team Wave Rippers. This version of the car was retrofitted with a turbine engine.
