Chevrolet Corvette C8.R "No.4"

The Corvette C8.R No.4, one of the most iconic GTs of American asphalt, now on your track

The reference CA27678 from Carrera brings the imposing Chevrolet Corvette C8.R with race number No.4 in 1:32 scale, under official licence from General Motors. A piece that combines the character of American competition with the level of detail and lighting electronics that distinguish Carrera's Digital/Analog range.

Features and Highlights

• 1:32 Scale: the most universal format of the slot hobby, compatible with the Carrera track system.
• Functional front and rear lights: the headlights and taillights illuminate while running, a detail that enhances realism on dark tracks or during night sessions.
• Official GM licence: decoration and proportions validated directly by General Motors, ensuring fidelity to the real car.
• Race number No.4: finished with the corresponding competition livery for number 4, reproduced with high-precision decals.
• Recommended for ages 8 and up: suitable for introducing younger enthusiasts to the hobby, without compromising appeal for adult collectors.

Scale and Detail Level

In 1:32, the Corvette C8.R already impresses on display: aerodynamic lines of the IMSA/WEC series GT, aggressive profile rear wing, and the characteristic wide nose that makes the C8.R generation unmistakable. The integrated lighting adds life to the model both while running and at rest when connected to the circuit.

Track Performance

Designed for the Carrera track system, it fits directly into the brand's circuits without modifications. The standard Carrera guide and contact braids come factory-mounted, ready to run from the first moment. The weight balance and wheelbase of this body provide smooth handling in both slow corners and straight sections with direction changes.

Ideal for…

• Slot enthusiasts looking to expand their fleet with a real American competition GT.
• Collectors of 1:32 scale Carrera cars with official licences.
• Families seeking a model with lighting for home track sessions.
• Followers of Corvette Racing and the history of the C8.R in endurance championships.

Considerations

This model is specifically designed for the Carrera track system. If you are using circuits from other brands, please check the compatibility of the guide and track before running. The lighting operates with the power from the circuit itself; no additional batteries are required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it compatible with Scalextric or Ninco circuits?

The model is designed for Carrera track. Scalextric and Ninco use universal track, while Carrera has its own track and guide system. Direct compatibility is not guaranteed without adapters, so we recommend using it on Carrera track to ensure the best performance.

Do the lights operate automatically or do they need to be activated?

The lights are activated with the power from the circuit: as soon as the car receives current through the braids, the front headlights and rear lights illuminate. They do not require any additional setup.

Which real Corvette C8.R does this model represent?

It reproduces the Corvette C8.R with race number No.4 under official GM licence. To identify the exact team and year of the livery represented, please refer to the detailed information on the box, as Carrera usually references the specific season on the packaging.

Is it suitable for children?

Carrera indicates that it is recommended for ages 8 and up. For younger ages, adult supervision is advised as the model contains small parts and is used with an electric circuit.

Can wear parts such as braids or guide be replaced?

Yes. The guide and braids are standard components of the Carrera system and can be replaced with compatible spares when worn, significantly extending the model's lifespan.

The Carrera CA27678 Chevrolet Corvette C8.R No.4 is a 1:32 scale slot car featuring functional front and rear lights and an official GM license.
