the chverolet ‘corvette grand sport’ isn’t the most likely candidate to be found in japan, however, that’s exactly where this ‘admiral’ blue special edition was found. its exterior includes carbon-fiber aero elements as standard, while the aggressive wheels feature red rims complementing the stripes above. the interior is a sleek, stealthy affair finished with jet black leather and suede, while its bucket seats hug the torso. strictly limited to five examples, the chevrolet ‘corvette grand sport’ in ‘admiral blue heritage’ will be offered in japan only, each priced at 12,800,000 yen.
