In the early ’60s, Gulf Oil sponsored the “Gulf One” ’63 Corvette® Sting Ray to numerous racing victories. However, that was a few years before the iconic blue and orange Gulf livery made its appearance. Our design team combined the 2020 Corvette® C8 – the first mid-engine version of that model – with that livery for a supercar they could have only dreamt of during the glory days of racing. But you can actually get this dream car here.
The C8 is reported to blast off from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, making it the fastest Corvette produced by Chevrolet at the time it was released in 2020. It feels even more powerful decked out in full Gulf livery. We think you’ll agree this mid-engine masterpiece represents the prestige that has ruled the road and track for more than a generation.
Saturated in soft powder blue with a shock of marigold orange striping, this sleek Corvette features authentic racing logos and True Grip Euro wheels with grey-painted hubs and a black chassis. It’s mounted in a stunning acrylic case with stylized deco honoring the heritage of Gulf’s colors.
