DETROIT, August 7, 2025 – Chevrolet has officially unveiled the 2026 Corvette ZR1X, the most advanced model in the history of the iconic American sports car.
Additionally, the brand revealed an exclusive, limited-production version: the ZR1X Quail Silver Limited Edition, which will be featured at the prestigious The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering event in Carmel, California, on August 15.
American hypercar with up to 1,250 horsepower
Combining the new LT7 twin-turbo V8 engine with an electric motor on the front axle, the ZR1X delivers an impressive 1,250 horsepower and accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in under 2 seconds2. The model sets a new standard of performance and engineering within the Corvette lineup.
Quail Silver Edition: exclusivity and sophistication
The Quail Silver Limited Edition will be available exclusively in the convertible 3LZ version of the ZR1X and features the first factory matte paint since the 1960s: the elegant Blade Silver Matte, inspired by the classic Inca Silver color of the Corvette C1 (1957–1959).
The exterior finish is complemented by a sophisticated interior in Sky Cool and Medium Ash Grey, with Habanero accents. The special edition also includes orange brake calipers, black exhaust tips, and gloss carbon-finished mirrors.
“Our design team is always seeking innovation, and this new matte paint marks a special moment for Corvette,” said Phil Zak, Executive Director of Global Design at Chevrolet. “It’s a rare opportunity to own a truly unique expression of the Corvette.”
Limited production and exclusive numbering
Each unit of the Quail Silver Edition will feature an interior plaque with the serial number, reinforcing its status as a collector’s item. According to Scott Bell, Vice President of Chevrolet Global, “Corvettes have always been a source of pride for their owners, and this limited edition reinforces that legacy with a highly exclusive offering.”
