The Kyosho Inferno GT2 Corvette C6-R comes from the Inferno series, one of the best-selling RTR nitro kits of all time. That should say a lot about what this car is about and, I have to say, it's hard to be disappointed.
Like most of the Inferno line, the GT2 comes in different championship-winning bodies, including the Red Bull Audi D4, the McLaren F1 GTR and the Aston Martin DB9 Gulf. Why choose the Corvette C6-R? Sure, there's accounting for taste, but in my mind, it's easily the sexiest of the lot. The fully-licensed replica body is just downright grand.
A long wheelbase chassis provides the foundation for the car. Being stretched, in this case, allows for greater stability, which you will notice when performing neck-breaking runs and turns at high speed. The added length also enhances the look, leaving it more proportional.
The Inferno GT2 comes with a big 4.6cc (.28 c.i.) pull start engine. A pilot-type crankshaft allows the clutch to be perfectly aligned with the motor, producing more power, as well as allowing owners to easily slot in an aftermarket replacement engine. The 150cc fuel tank features a quick-fill spring-loaded top, allowing you to refill the tank while the engine is running. It can manage runtimes of up to 15 minutes, then top-up again without shutting off. Other notable features include durable double A-arm suspension (extreme durability), two-channel radio with high torque servos, double disc brakes and a smaller 34mm flywheel.
Based on the Pratt & Miller racer that ruled the GT1 roost of the LeMans/ALMS series, the Kyosho Inferno GT2 Corvette C6-R marries both aggressive looks and tight performance in a downright sleek package. It's big, it's sexy, it's powerful - just the way on-road racers should be.
