The legend lives on…
A review by CoMod JoergW
The Corvette C7R was introduced in 2017 as the successor to the well-known Corvette C6R, which had long been part of the Carrera lineup. A 5.5-liter V8 engine with direct injection is intended to shake up the GTE/GTLM class… but will it actually succeed?
The model's appearance is faithfully reproduced. The design-related clearance in the wheel arches is minimal and does not detract from the overall appearance. The greenish light from the front slit-eye headlights is rather dim, certainly only partially suitable for night racing. Thanks to the new, flat LEDs, without side shields, the light from the wheel arches penetrates the road more clearly. The chassis has sufficient space on both sides for trim weights. The interior is uncluttered, and the cables are neatly routed.
I find the weight distribution between the chassis (72 g) and body (30 g) to be very good, but the overall weight could be a few grams lower. The paintwork and finish are flawless… as you'd expect from Carrera. The front axle rotates smoothly and freely.
The tires offer sufficient grip, but due to their thinness, there's very little room for grinding. However, breaking the edges should still be possible without any problems.
The vehicle readily absorbs power and, with its magnetic drivetrain, has pleasant and speedy driving characteristics; this is where its relatively long wheelbase certainly comes in handy.
The performance is on par with other GT cars. The yellow racer will easily fit into the field, but whether it can compete at the front... that will largely depend on the driver.
Best regards,
Jörg
