An ethanol-powered Chevrolet Corvette Z06 E85 concept car, piloted by two-time Indy 500 champion Emerson Fittipaldi, will be one of two special Vettes serving as pace cars for the 92nd Indianapolis 500 on May 25, 2008.
Chevy has no plans to sell an E85-equipped Corvette, but it will build 500 copies of the other official pace car, a black and silver commemorative edition that marks the 30th anniversary of the first Corvette to pace the field at Indy in 1978. The pace car replicas will be sold in both coupe and convertible form, each signed by Fittipaldi.
