This week anonymous artist Felipe Pantone revealed his latest art piece installed on and in a 1994 Chevrolet Corvette. Die-hard stock paint lovers of the Corvette were probably mortified. Digital madness inspired artwork took the vehicle to a place it'd never been before. Blocks of color, mood ring spray, and the blacks and whites of the video tapes you threw away in 2002 - they're all here.
Serendipity is often credited for some accidental but happy discoveries in history, from penicillin to super glue. Now Chevrolet is claiming yet another “accidental” discovery, that its upcoming 2019 Corvette ZR1 happens to be the fastest coupe to have rolled on the VIR, a.k.a. the Virginia International Raceway, considered one of the most challenging road course. And, Chevy says, it wasn’t even trying to beat any record. In fact, it didn’t even have a race car driver behind the wheel.
Barrett-Jackson is famous for auctioning off cars for charity and at the recent auction in Arizona, two Corvettes were auctioned off. Former President George W. Bush Jr. was on hand for one of the auctions and personally dropped the gavel on the sale price for the very first 2018 Chevrolet Corvette Carbon 65 Edition.
You may recognize the name Genovation as the company who rolled out the all-electric Corvette C6 back in 2016 and used it to crush a land speed record. Fast forward many months and Genovation Cars has announced that it will be bringing a pre-production version of an all-electric Corvette C7 to CES 2018.
Very orange, and very angry. That's the unavoidable first impression when faced with the 2019 Corvette ZR1 Convertible, Chevrolet's 755 horsepower route to getting lots, and lots, and lots of wind in your hair. Open-top sibling to the Corvette ZR1 coupe, the drop-top refuses to succumb to the old adage that cutting the roof off also means compromising on performance.
How much will 755 horsepower of all-American Corvette madness set you back? Now we know, with Chevrolet slapping a price tag on the new Corvette ZR1, and giving it a shiny new, topless sibling in the shape of the similarly-ridiculously-powerful Corvette ZR1 Convertible.
When it comes to buying a new car, there isn't a person alive who doesn't want to save money on the sticker price, whether it's haggling with the dealership or qualifying for some discount program. Well, if you're in the market for a new Chevy Corvette and are hunting for a deal, you might want to consider a career change. Due to an odd arrangement between Taco Bell and GM, employees of the fast food chain are eligible for a $4,385 discount on a new Corvette Grand Sport.
It's the most powerful production car Chevrolet has ever made, and probably the meanest-looking. The 2019 Corvette ZR1 takes one look at the Corvette Z06 and decides "oh no, 650 horsepower just isn't enough," then goes about redesigning the powertrain, aerodynamics, cooling, and more to deliver a lightning strike of a car. In fact, there's more than enough to shock you: whether or not you opt for the eye-searing Sebring Orange Design Package.
If you're going to go big, go very, very big: that's the recipe Chevrolet picked for the 2019 Corvette ZR1, and it's shaping up to be delicious. Billed as "the fastest, most powerful production Corvette ever," it's a 755 horsepower, 210+ miles per hour monster, not to mention a legitimate supercar with an American badge.
Some images of the December 2017 issue of the automotive enthusiast magazine Car & Driver are making the rounds today. The big news here is that the 2019 Corvette ZR1 graces the cover. The magazine reportedly gives up a lot of detail on the car though some is still unknown.
Chevrolet has announced a new special edition Corvette that is meant to celebrate 65 years of the iconic American sports car.

Each of the cars will get a unique VIN number and a plaque inside the car highlighting the build number.
The mid-engine layout is something that has been around in the sports car world for a very long time. The benefit of mid-engine is that it allows the engine, one of the heaviest components of the car, to be mounted more towards the middle of the car giving better balance and weight distribution. Traditionally the Corvette is a front engine, rear-drive sports car and it can hang with some of the best that Europe has to offer.
