Hemmings, the world’s largest online collector car marketplace, is bringing American racing history to the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas (Central Hall, Booth # 22477) with the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8.R-005, a factory-built endurance race car that will be simultaneously for sale on the Hemmings.com marketplace during the show. With a body hand-crafted by Pratt Miller and powertrain built by General Motors for the Corvette Racing’s 2020–2023 International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) and FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) seasons, the C8.R introduced the mid-engine Corvette to global competition.
Corvette Chassis C8.R-005 is one of only six made and includes a 500 hp 5.5L flat-plane V8, Xtrac 6-speed gearbox, aluminum monocoque chassis, and Bosch racing electronics. Over four years, the C8.R program scored 22 wins, 50 podiums, 23 poles, and 14 fastest laps, including major victories at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The C8.R-005 will be available exclusively on Hemmings.com during and following its public display at the SEMA Show 2025. The listing represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a factory-built championship Corvette with full documentation and ongoing support available from Pratt Miller.
“The C8.R-005 embodies the kind of rarity and excellence that define Hemmings’ commitment to collectors,” said Jonathan Shaw, President of Hemmings. “We’re honored that Pratt Miller — a name synonymous with Corvette Racing and engineering excellence — as well as General Motors have entrusted Hemmings to present this car to market. By showcasing vehicles of this caliber, we’re advancing the buying and selling experience with a level of integrity and curation that honors the heritage of car culture while inspiring its future.”
“There are only six C8.R Corvettes from the 2020-2023 Racing Program in existence and the C8.R-005 being sold on Hemmings.com was driven by Antonio Garcia, Jordan Taylor, Tommy Milner, Nicky Catsburg and Nick Tandy,” said Marc Maurini, Director of Racing Operations and former Corvette Racing Program Director for Pratt Miller. “With a vehicle this rare, it means the next owner will be adding a hand-built piece of art with a prestigious racing history to their collection.”
