FROM THE PUBLISHER February 2022 Dear Reader, When you think about American race car history several names come to mind: PENSKE, SHELBY and CUNNINGHAM. Of the three, CUNNINGHAM was the only yachtsman. In 1958, he skippered the 12-Meter class, COLUMBIA to win the right to defend the America’s Cup. The competition to represent eri s fier e i h C es i se s he fi ish his is he e i e f se he he ere he r e r he C i h r er is se of the British challenger, SCEPTRE in 4 straight race victories in the choppy waters of Newport Rhode s he fi r i he s f he es f series s er i es r e s he r s ie ish e si eri he f h i h ee e rs si e he s h r e f r he C i s he inaugural race for the brand new 12-Meter class.

Briggs Swift Cunningham, Jr. was best known for his accomplishments on the race track and almost everywhere in the sports car universe. It was 1930 when he and two friends founded the automobile racing club of America (ARCA) to promote racing in and around New York. After World War II, CUNNINGHAM founded the sports car club of America (SCCA). He built his own series f s r s rs h ere i r e he r f s er he e rs he ers ee he r e r ih cooperation from Cadillac, Chrysler, Jaguar, Maserati and even teamed up with ROGER PENSKE. Our cover cars for this issue display the CUNNINGHAM legacy by celebrating the past with the Cunningham C-3 Corvette that was raced by Cunningham at LeMans in 1960 and the new 60th Anniversary CUNNINGHAM LeMans C8 Corvette. This latest example of CUNNINGHAM‘s design and performance excellence is coupled with another legend in American automobile history: LINGENFELTER PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING. There will be only 60 of the 60th Anniversary‘s Corvettes to be built, so hurry and get your order in or you’ll be left behind on the street and on the track. isher s e er e r ef re he fire r he e h r e e er f iss es i i f r her e

UNCOVERED

THE CUNNINGHAM CORVETTE RETURNS riggs Swift Cunningham was an American icon, racing driver, sportsman, race team owner, and Le Mans legend. He is credited with creating America’s first modern sports cars after World War II and was responsible for manufacturing some of motorsports’ most storied race cars – especially, the stunning Cunningham C-4R & C4RK Le Mans racers and the beautiful 1952 Vignale bodied Cunningham C-3 grand touring sports car. In 1958, Briggs won both the SCCA C-modified National Championship, as well as piloting the “Columbia” to win the prestigious America’s Cup sailing race that same year.

Briggs was a dominant force in the American auto racing scene from 1950 to 1963 during which time he also built the most competitive American auto racing team of his era at Le Mans. In 1960, Briggs was asked

by Zora Arkus Duntov, the “Father of the Corvette”, to take three Corvettes to Le Mans to see what they could do. That year, Briggs famously won the GT5.0 class finishing 8th overall, marking that brand’s first win in International Motorsports in the number 3 Cunningham Corvette.

It is this effort that Cunningham Automotive, Inc. is celebrating with our 60th Anniversary Cunningham Le Mans C8 Corvette. Only 60 of these numbered series C8s are to be produced. These very special cars are built to fully demonstrate the potential of the new C8 Corvettes prowess in a collaborative partnership with Lingenfelter Performance Engineering and Cunningham Automotive, Inc. Our new Cunningham Le Mans C8 Corvette is a modern supercar that starts life as a fully-loaded 3LT option level C8 with Z51 suspension, Magnetic Ride Control, 8-speed DCT transaxle (with Performance Ratio rear axle gearing), Lift Kit with Memory, Dual Tops (Body Color and Clear), Entertainment system with HUD, GT2 sport seats with Twilight Blue seat backs & Tension Blue trim and seat belt color scheme.

Lingenfelter Performance Engineering then tunes the already impressive LT2 motor to 603HP, 580 ft/lb of Torque, resulting in an amazing 97 Naturally Aspirated HP/L from the 6.2L LT2. They achieved this by integrating a High Flow Performance Design Carbon Fiber Intake manifold, Corsa Ceramic Coated

High Performance Headers and Exhaust as well as Lingenfelter’s High Flow Throttle Body. We then added our unique Cunningham Aero Package and Ram Air Engine Intakes, 20” & 21” HRE Cunningham Halibrand Style Forged Aluminum Wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 245/30ZR20 and 325/25ZR21 Tires, massive Alcon Pro-System Brakes with 6-pot calipers & 380mm front rotors and 4-pot calipers & 390mm rear rotors.

We finish the Corvette by adding our Historic Cunningham Race Color paint scheme, a white body with our Blue Le Mans Competition Stripes.

The result of these modifications is arguably one of the most beautiful purpose built High Performance C8 Corvettes available, and a fitting testament to the legacy of Briggs Swift Cunningham.

Its addition distinguishes Excell Auto Group as the first independent dealer in the nation to own and operate two Karma Automotive dealerships.

Along with the Zankls, Grammy Award-Winning Artist Pitbull is partnering with the couple, where together they offer an unparalleled experience for sophisticated buyers in the luxury electric automobile market. “From a kid who

couldn’t afford a car, it’s great to be an owner and a partner in Karma Broward; it’s a blessing!” Pitbull expressed this while introducing the brand during the Grand Opening event hosted at the state-of-the-art dealership located on 1717 SE 17th Street, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
