If you are hoping to order a new 2022 Corvette IMSA GTLM Championship Edition, you better get down to your dealer right away as we have learned that nearly half of the 1,000 planned C8.R Special Editions have already been sold.

If you were to compare the new 2022 Corvette’s official EPA fuel economy ratings to those issued back in 2020, you would see an increase of 1 MPG in the city, but a drop of 3 MPG on the highway.
