2011 CHEVROLET CORVETTE JAKE EDITION CONCEPT

He started off as a discreet logo in 2005 that symbolized a tenacious attitude of the Corvette Racing team and ever since, the skull mascot known as Jake has grown to embody the determination and triumphs of the team. Now, Chevrolet designers have created the Corvette Jake Edition Concept, a special Grand Sport convertible concept vehicle that celebrates Corvette’s racing spirit.

The Corvette Jake Edition is a Grand Sport Coupe, with Z06 wheels featuring the Competition Gray finish. The matte Jake hood graphic from the GT1 commemorative model adds a subtle visual statement, while a host of other accessories round out the car’s unique appearance. Most of the parts added to this special Grand Sport are available today as Genuine Corvette Accessories or through any Chevrolet dealer’s parts department.

?Jake is more than the mascot for Corvette Racing, he personifies the
Corvette spirit,? said Dave Ross, design manager. ?We designed this
concept to demonstrate how any enthusiast could create his own Jake
special model with parts available from any Chevrolet dealership.?

Some of the accessories used to create the Corvette Jake concept are not
currently available, but are planned for future release, including
Jake-logo floor mats, console lid, wheel center caps and more. Other
parts, including the hood graphic and Z06 wheels, are offered as Genuine
Corvette Accessories.

?The Corvette has long inspired car enthusiasts to personalize it. The
Jake concept shows one very unique way to do it,? said Ross. ?With the
great variety of accessories and other parts available, there’s
virtually no limit to how you can make your Corvette stand apart from
all others.?
