It's pretty much available to see in the video here. Same livery as the original render.

Great, but I don't have a spare million to get into racing, so my interest is superficial.

Ya, my interest is just to see if I buy a die cast version lol, but only if it wins some big races.

I’m holding on hope they release a GT3R “decal edition”. Gm is notorious for it. This is one livery I would buy into.

BINGO! Problem is I bet this will be a 2024MY or 2nd half 2024MY option. If I knew it was coming in 2024 and if my number comes up for MY2023, then I would definitely defer to get the 2024 Z06 GT3R edition. Unfortunately, with GM being so unreliable in information and scheduling and with some dealerships being anything but transparent with allocations, its VERY HARD to plan ahead and make informed decisions with this car.

Just so you understand, you first have to apply to purchase one, and need to show amateur or professional racing intent. And of course, the GT3.R is not street legal, and will probably cost about three times the price of the Z06 street version.

Here’s the link to the application:

He’s talking about a special edition “decal package” for a normal, street legal Z06 similar to the C8.R edition released for the 2022 Stingray (which was a very nice looking spec in both colors).

Cool race car stuff that has interest in the enthusiast community but really a who cares overall. I can never get past the ridiculous wings that we see in some production versions mimicking these full blown, purpose built race cars. All that overdone aero crap looks foolish on the street.
Hard pass along with decals, stickers, and stripes.

The interest is not about buying it, it's about watching it race (and win!) at some of the most spectated/televised races across the country/world.

If you haven't yet been to an IMSA race or an FIA WEC race (such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans), I highly going. Or at least watching on TV/the internet.

^^^^^That is actually a drop dead gorgeous race car. I hope they do well with it. I have very little interest in this kind of racing and have never known anyone who does.

I'd like the road car to have a similar wheel design as an option.

I'm sorry, I always enjoyed every racetrack I've ever been more from the driver seat!

I like it a lot! Is it shorter than the production Z06 or it's just an optical illusion?
The wheelbase, front and rear overhang seems much shorter.

First time I've ever had the urge to save a picture of a C8 rear.

You don't know anyone who likes the 24 Hours of Le Mans?! You gotta stop hanging out with the hillbilly NASCAR crowd...
