Competition Carbon C8RR Kit Turns Corvette Into a Concept Car
If you think the C8 Corvette looks a little bland, Competition Carbon will sell you its crazy C8RR Widebody Kit.
After sitting in a quiet room for half an hour, you might come up with some real criticism for the C8 Corvette. The best we can come up with is that it might look a little bland up against cars that cost double or triple its $58,900 starting price. However, for people that genuinely think the C8 Corvette needs to look more aggressive, aero specialists Competition Carbon is putting something wild together. The C8RR body kit is based around the hardtop convertible Corvette, and that bold piece of hardware behind the passenger compartment that looks like an air scoop is, indeed, an air scoop.
At first glance, it also looks like the C8RR Corvette doesn’t have any headlights. That’s because the kit erases the stock headlights on either side of the hood. Instead, Competition Carbon has replaced them with two round lamps mounted in the center and under the hood. Road legality might be an issue, but the idea is to make them removable for track days. Other eye-catching details on top of the new wide fenders and staggered wheel setup include an integrated pair of triangular exhaust pipes, air scoops in the hood, and redesigned air scoops on the side.
With this kit added, it looks to us like it could have been the concept car before going through the corporate reality machine and becoming the C8 Corvette. However, Competition Carbon is planning to make it real and claims it will be available in 2021. The company specializes in making carbon-fiber aero packages for Corvettes and Lamborghini models but hasn’t made any claims about aerodynamic improvements. Competition Carbon hasn’t given any prices either but says it will offer the air scoop separately.
