Indy 500 2008 Pace Cars

INDIANAPOLIS (January 16, 2008) – The Indianapolis 500® Pace Car always holds a special place at the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. GreenLight Collectibles has added to the Pace Car lore in 2008. In 2008, the field of 33 was lead by two very different Pace Cars from one very familiar automotive manufacturer. GreenLight has produced the die-cast replicas of both General Motors vehicles – a Customized Chevrolet Corvette Z06 E85 Concept Pace Car and a 2008 C6 Corvette Convertible. The Corvette Pace Cars made history at The 92nd Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 25, 2008. It was the Corvette's 10th appearance as the Official Pace Car, a record never achieved by any other brand. The Corvettes carried two very different messages – one highlighted Chevrolet's commitment to alternative fuel solutions and the other marked 30 years of the Corvette's Pace Car heritage.

The Z06 E85 Concept Pace Car was driven by two time Indianapolis 500 winner Emerson Fittipaldi. Fittipaldi has been a long time advocate of E85 and has played a key role in ethanol projects in Brazil, where ethanol use has grown tremendously. Fittipaldi’s commitment to ethanol makes him the perfect driver for the Z06 E85 Concept Pace Car.

The Corvette 30th Anniversary Pace Car replica features a black exterior with silver graphics that honors the 1978 Corvette Pace Car. The replica is a convertible with black interior. The E85 Corvette Pace Car is distinguished by a unique Gold Rush Green color with a subtle checkered flag pattern also part of the paint scheme.

The 1:24 replicas, which measure approximately 7.5 inches long, are officially licensed by Chevrolet and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and feature a die-cast metal body, authentic Pace Car detailing, real rubber tires, sequential numbering on the base and custom window box packaging.
