Chevrolet Corvette C6-R: From Track to Scale Model

The Corvette C6-R has left a lasting mark in GT competition, highlighted by a 1-2 result in 2006 and a strong second place in 2007. The Kyosho Inferno GT2 reproduces that iconic silhouette at 1/8 scale for model racers who value authentic race liveries.

Chassis Development and Driveability

Built on the proven MP7.5 architecture, the Inferno GT2 increases stability with an extended wheelbase and focuses on on-road handling. The included GXR28SG engine supplies consistent power for practice and competition alike.

Notable Upgrades on the GT2

  • Improved Stability: The extra 35mm of wheelbase helps with high speed tracking and cornering predictability.
  • Advanced Braking System: Twin disc brakes provide steady stopping force and resist fade.
  • Precision Tuning: Adjustable turnbuckle upper arms and tie rods enable precise alignment and camber settings.
  • Enhanced Speed: A revised 2-speed gearing option raises maximum velocity when required.
  • Extended Run Time: A larger 150cc fuel tank lowers the frequency of pit stops during running sessions.

Other touches include anodised blue wheel hubs and shock caps, a lighter flywheel for crisper throttle response, and spiral cut ring and pinion gears in reinforced differentials for longevity.
