Listed for sale on Cars & Bids, this 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Coupe 2LT C7.R Drivers Series Package is a highly collectible C7-era special edition that combines Corvette Racing-inspired styling with the performance hardware of the Grand Sport.
Finished in Shadow Gray Metallic with Torch Red accents and an Adrenaline Red interior, the car is the Oliver Gavin Edition, reflecting the design choices of the accomplished Corvette Racing driver. It is individually numbered #26 of just 35 examples produced, making it an especially limited variant.
The C7.R Drivers Series Package was created to celebrate Corvette Racing’s championship success. Chevrolet produced four distinct Grand Sport editions, each developed in collaboration with a Corvette Racing driver and distinguished by unique exterior graphics, colors, and interior treatments derived from the team’s competition cars. The Oliver Gavin Edition’s Shadow Gray and red color scheme gives this Corvette a particularly purposeful motorsport character.
Under the hood is Chevrolet’s naturally aspirated 6.2-liter LT1 V8, producing 460 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission, while an electronic limited-slip differential helps optimize traction and corner-exit performance.
The 2LT configuration adds substantial equipment, including heated, ventilated, and power-adjustable GT bucket seats, a Bose surround-sound system, and Chevrolet’s Performance Data and Video Recorder with navigation. A removable carbon-fiber roof panel further enhances the Grand Sport’s lightweight, open-air character while preserving the coupe’s structural rigidity.
Additional factory equipment includes the 2LT Package, C7.R Drivers Series Package, electronic limited-slip differential, and performance recording system. With its low production number, driver-specific design, naturally aspirated V8, and direct connection to Corvette Racing’s championship heritage, this Grand Sport represents one of the more distinctive and collectible special editions of the C7 generation.
