C5-R History
The Homologation Car

Page 2

By: David Palmeter 

The first C5-R was a converted production 1997 Corvette Coupe. After being used for initial testing it was further converted to an “Homologation Car”. This was to show that the C5-R could be used as a street car. Shown below is the interior of that Homologation Car shot in the Pratt & Miller facility on September 14, 2001. The other car is C5R-002 in 2000 Le Mans #64 livery.

Cloth insert seats and 4 point belts

I wonder if the floor gets hot?

Let’s assume that these are not power windows.

The steering wheel, instrument panel and shifter are from the C5-R. The center console storage is gone
