The C8 Chevy Corvette ZR1 Is Finally Confirmed and It's Coming This Summer

Chevy has been quiet about the upcoming Corvette ZR1, the fastest, most extreme iteration of its signature sports car. Even though it always felt like an inevitability, there hasn't even been official confirmation of a ZR1—only a few spy photos and some rumors. Until now, that is, as Chevy just teased the monster 'Vette in an Instagram post. The good news is: It's coming this summer.

The only look we get at the Corvette ZR1 in this teaser is its silhouette made from smoke, possibly suggesting some impressive aero to come. Previous spy photos of what was thought to be the ZR1 showed a camouflaged test mule with the most aggressive wing ever fitted to a Corvette and, since it's rumored to be rear-wheel drive, the ZR1 is going to need it.
