60TH ANNIVERSARY
Briggs Swift Cunningham was an American racing legend, sportsman, race team owner and Le Mans Mega-Star. Credited with creating America’s first modern sports cars after World War II and was responsible for manufacturing some of racings most storied racecars – especially, the stunning 1952 Cunningham C4R & C4RK Le Mans racers and the Cunningham C3 grand touring sports car. In 1958, Briggs won both the American Driving Championship, as well as, piloting the “Columbia” to win the prestigious America’s Cup sailing race that same year!
He dominated the American auto racing scene from 1950 to 1963 during which time, he also built one of the most competitive American auto racing teams in Le Mans History. The American auto racing community has much to thank Briggs for. One of his most lasting legacies was the creation of the “Racing Stripe” which he introduced; two blue stripes painted down the center of his white Le Mans racecars. [to reflect the American Racing Colors of a White Body with Blue Frame Rails] The rest is history!
In 1960 Briggs was asked by Zora Arkus-Duntov if he thought the Corvette could be competitive at Le Mans, and so an amazing journey began with Corvette’s first appearance on the World racing stage. Now known as the Cunningham Corvette’s – the three-car effort proved to the world that the Corvette was a true sports car. Car #3 finished 8th overall – winning its Class that year and enshrining it in Corvette Lore!
It is that marvelous effort that we celebrate today with the introduction of the first new Cunningham Corvette in 60 years! Our new Cunningham C8 Corvette is a modern Supercar that starts life as a fully loaded 3LT package with Z51 suspension & brakes, 8-speed DCT transaxle (with Performance Ratio rear axle), lift kit, 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.
Then Lingenfelter tunes the LT2 motor to over 600+ (naturally aspirated) horsepower, with their specially tuned Performance Design Carbon Fiber Intake Manifold, tuned Corsa Performance Headers, Exhaust and High Flow Throttle Body, Alcon Pro-System Street/Track Slotted Brakes (380mm front rotors with 6-pot calipers and 390mm rear rotors with 4-pot calipers), Lingenfelter tuned and lowered Suspension, Motorsport derived Aero designed by Peter Stevens Design (Engineered by Leap Racing and manufactured in Germany by DD Compound GmbH) that has up to 1,200lbs of downforce at 150mph, our innovative Dual Ram Air Intakes and Aero Fin Camera Mount were manufactured for us by Hewlett Packard and Impac Systems using their latest Additive Manufacturing Technology, our Pilot Sport 4S Tires 245/30ZR20 front & 325/25ZR21 rear are provided directly by Michelin and are mounted on bespoke forged aluminum HRE wheels that are modeled on the racing Halibrand Kidney Bean wheels used on the original 1960 Le Mans winning Cunningham Corvette’s.
Only 60 of these special Anniversary Corvette’s will be produced, each will be numbered to Commemorate the 1960 Le Mans Winning Corvette #3, and each VIN will be entered into the Cunningham Registry. Orders are being accepted now.
sad news: BRIGGS SWIFT CUNNINGHAM III passed on 9/28/2021
It is with much sadness that we must announce the passing of Briggs Swift Cunningham III age 89, pictured here with his son Brian Cunningham. Briggs, like his father Le Mans Legend and America’s Cup Winner Briggs Swift Cunningham II was a great supporter of motorsports having run a national championship winning ARCA Menards Series team. Over the years Briggs’ drivers racked up over 40 victories in the ARCA Menards Series cementing the team as a stalwart of the series till his retirement from motorsports in 2017. He will be greatly missed. Our deepest condolences to our Vice Chairman Brian Cunningham and the entire Cunningham family.
