Mongoose Motorsports
GTP
The Mongoose Motorsports GTP is a kit car based off of the 1984-1988
Lola-built Corvette Grand Touring Prototype for the IMSA and Le Mans racing
series.
Armed with the bodywork molds for the original car, Mongoose Motorsports
designed an aluminum monocoque and tube-frame chassis that holds a Corvette
V8 engine and fifth-generation Corvette suspension underneath fiberglass
bodywork to create the Mongoose GTP.
The Mongoose GTP can be purchased in pure kit form, ready-to-go as a
"turn-key" car or steps between.
