Lot no. 114
1966 Chevrolet Corvette préparée Grand Sport No reserve Titre de circulation hollandais Châssis n° A194376S103026 - Préparée pour l'East Africa Safari Rally - Performances élevées, 457 cv - Plus de 340 000 € investi dans la préparation - Sans réserve En 1963, un groupe d'ingénieurs de la General Motors se lance dans la construction de 5 Corvette de course, la Grand Sport. L'objectif était de s'aligner sur les plus grandes courses du monde comme Sebring, Le Mans et Daytona pour affronter les Cobra, Daytona et autres Ferrari 250 GTO. Malheureusement, le projet restera sans suite. En 2011, la General Motors et Duntov Engineering USA accordent la licence à Tachyon Engineering de construire des continuations de Corvette Grand Sport conformes au règlement FIA GTP2. Fort de cette expérience, Tachyon décide de se lancer dans la préparation d'une Grand Sport pour participer à l'édition 2013 de l'East Africa Safari Rally. En quelques mois plus de 340 000 € sont engagés pour mener à bien le projet et dès les essais, l'auto se montre ultra performante mais aussi endurante pour tenir le rythme des spéciales du Kenya et de Tanzanie. Franchissant les bosses, rivières, tempêtes de sables et routes cassantes, elle fut capable d'atteindre les 190 km/h de moyenne avant de franchir la ligne d'arrivée ! La voiture a récemment reçu un nouveau moteur développant un peu plus de 450 cv au banc. Efficace, performante et accessible, cette véritable bête de course est vendue prête à reprendre le départ de l'East African Safari ou de tout autres aventures automobiles à travers le monde. Dutch registration Chassis # A194376S103026 - Prepared to East Africa Safari Rally regulations - Exceptional performance with 457 HP - More than 340 000 € invested in the preparation - No reserve In 1963 a dedicated group of General Motors engineers designed and built a small series of 5 lightweight Corvettes: the Grand Sport. The goal was to participate in International races like Sebring, Le Mans, Daytona and beat cars like the Cobra, Daytona and Ferrari 250 GTO. Halfway during the development program, GM Management unfortunately decided to cancel the project. In 2011, Tachyon Engineering from Netherlands obtained a license from General Motors and Duntov Engineering USA to build a continuation racing version of The Corvette Grand Sport to FIA GTP2 specification. With the goal of competing in the 2013 East Africa Safari Rally they built a rally version of the Grand Sport. Extensive resources were spent in the development and fabrication of suspension and drive train components in order to deal with the rough Kenyan and Tanzanian roads. When the car was ready for testing in early 2013, they had spent well over 340 000 € in materials alone. After an intensive spring 2013 of testing, the team set off to Africa and successfully crossed the finish line after 9 days of rough roads, jumps, rivers and dust attaining an average speed of 190 Kilometers per hour on stages. The car was recently accommodated with a brand new engine developing more than 450bhp and a dated dyno sheet is included with the car. This unique efficient and accessible purpose built car probably is ready to take part in the 2017 edition of the legendary Safari Rally or any other contemporary rough road event.
