Chevrolet is releasing pricing info for the new  2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X - and also introducing a limited-edition model. As you'd expect, the most advanced Corvette ever will have a price-tag to match its hypercar status - starting at just over $207,000.  For that you get an incredible 1,250 horsepower between the combined LT7 twin-turbo V8 engine and front axle electric motor, and a lightning fast 0-60 mph time of under 2 seconds.

Quail Silver Limited Edition

Chevrolet is also unveiling a Quail Silver Limited Edition package - exclusive to the ZR1X 3LZ convertible. Making its debut during Monterey Car Week at The Quail, it showcases unique finishes and craftsmanship, and will introduce the Corvette’s first matte production paint- Blade Silver Matte - since the 60s. Each vehicle will display a “Limited Edition” plaque along the interior waterfall speaker and each build will be identified with a limited-edition number.

“Corvettes are the pride and joy of their owners – this has been true since we first began selling the nameplate more than 70 years ago. They honor its craftsmanship and design as much as its engineering excellence,” said Scott Bell, VP of Global Chevrolet. “The ZR1X Quail Silver Limited Edition presents a highly exclusive option for Corvette customers looking for a collectible item.”

The Blade Silver Matte exterior color was inspired by the Inca Silver hue offered on the C1 Corvette from 1957-1959.  The exterior also features orange painted calipers, black exhaust tips, and carbon flash painted mirrors.

“The Design team is always looking to innovate, and the Blade Silver Matte paint color marks a significant moment for Corvette as the first factory matte paint in 60 years,” said Phil Zak, executive design director of Global Chevrolet. “This new finish creates a distinctly high-end feel and offers a rare chance to own a truly unique expression of Corvette."
