Today, a new 2019 Corvette Driver Series special edition Grand Sport model of the Chevrolet Corvette was unveiled in collaboration with the Corvette Racing team. There are four versions of this hot Vette, each with unique graphics and exterior color options 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.”
