Larbre Competition intends to stand apart from the speeding crowd with this special C7.R art car, decked out in a special glow-in-the-dark livery.
Revealed at the Circuit de la Sarthe during this past weekend’s official test session, the #50 Corvette features a graffiti-style paintjob designed by street artist Ramzi Adek.

One of the cars featured prominently in that channel is an acid-yellow Corvette Z06, a car that was destroyed in a wreck on Saturday.

The two passengers in the car, described only as “The driver, a 21-year-old Ypsilanti [...]
