The Corvette SS was presented in 1957 as a fully functional racing car developed by Zora Arkus Duntov, the “Father of Corvette” himself. Duntov was a racer and always wanted to create the ultimate competition version. GM’s management allowed him to start a racing program and the SS was the first car introduced (via Car Styling).

The Corvette SS featured many firsts and was a competent racing car, setting the track record at Sebring International Raceway. It was also a fist in a long line of racing Corvettes that dominated race tracks all over the world.
