2008 Pratt-Miller Corvette C6RS Hatchback Coupe

Pratt & Miller built eleven examples of the C6RS Corvette and this particular example is the sole example fitted with a supercharged 427 cubic-inch V8 engine. All of the C6RS Corvettes were comprehensively re-engineered by General Motors' factory-sanctioned endurance-racing partner whose history included many successful Corvette campaigns at race tracks around the world. Since establishing Corvette Racing with GM in the 1990s, Pratt & Miller have won 10 American Le Mans Series championships, eight Le Mans class wins, and four victories at the 24 Hours of Daytona.

Gary Pratt explained: The 'C6RS was inspired by our Corvette race program, but it's not a race car for the street. You can take the Corvette C6RS on a 300-mile road trip, or drive it to a track day and run fast laps.'

These purpose-built C6RS Corvettes cost approximately $300,000 when new. They wore carbon fiber body panels 1.6' wider than the Z06 and incorporated numerous C6.R-style aerodynamic features. The interiors were trimmed in French seamed leather, including the dashboard, center console, and door panels. The Brembo monobloc brakes were placed behind forged BBS center-lock wheels, and the suspension was an adjustable-height system with proprietary Pratt & Miller damping. All C6RS Corvettes, except this example, came with a 600 horsepower naturally aspirated engine.

This C6RS was the first production example built, and the supercharged 427 by Thompson Automotive develops 756 horsepower and 784 lbs-ft of torque at 3,700 RPM.

Mr. Pratt retained this car for nearly ten years, selling it to the current caretaker in 2017. The car has approximately 13,770 miles on its odometer.
