2019 Chevy Corvette Grand Sport Drivers Series is
a special edition model designed together with the Corvette Racing team. The
automaker unveiled four differently styled versions, each with its own specific
exterior color and unique graphics package. Corvette Racing drivers Tommy
Milner, Oliver Gavin, Jan Magnussen and Antonio Garcia all worked together with
Chevy designers in order to bring their own version of the vehicle to life.
The color and graphics packages are offered on Grand
Sport 1LT, 2LT and 3LT trims and look a little something like this:
Tommy Milner Edition
This one is wearing a Shadow Grey exterior with a
Torch Red center stripe and Torch Red hash marks, Carbon Flash mirrors, black wheels
with red stripe and red calipers. The interior meanwhile is Adrenaline Red with
red seat belts.
Jan Magnussen Edition
The Arctic White exterior features Crystal Red
stripes and grey hash marks. It also comes with body-color mirrors, black
wheels with red stripe and red brake calipers. Inside it’s mostly Jet Black,
with contrasting red seat belts and red stitching on 3LT trim.
Tommy Milner Edition
Milner decided to go with an Elkhart Lake Blue
exterior with silver stripes and red hash marks, as well as body-color mirrors,
black wheels with red stripe and red calipers. The Jet Black Suede interior
(leather seats on 1LT) also features red seat belts.
Antonio Garcia Edition
Here we have a Racing Yellow exterior with ‘Jake’
stinger stripe, red hash marks, Carbon Flash mirrors, black wheels with red
stripe and red calipers (a reoccurring theme). As for the interior, it’s Jet
Black with yellow stitching on 3LT trim.
Each car also comes with a driver-specific interior
plaque, as well as other unique trim details, where 3LT spec models include
carbon fiber interior trim. Since these Drivers Series models are based on the Grand Sport, they
also come with the same naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 engine, rated at 460
HP.
Additional features include wider fenders and rear
quarter panels to accommodate the larger wheels, functional brake ducts and
enhanced cooling, Brembo brakes, Magnetic ride control, specific stabilizer
bars, unique springs, an electronic limited-slip differential, five-position
Driver Mode Selector, available Z07 package with larger carbon ceramic-matrix
brake rotors and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 summer tires, and a leather-wrapped
flat-bottom steering wheel.
Meanwhile, 2LT and 3LT trims get a Front Curb View
Camera, Head-up display and heated and ventilated leather-appointed seats,
while the leather-wrapped interior with suede upper trim is exclusive to the
3LT.
