While not exactly a "collector's edition" Corvette in its own right, it nonetheless has become a uniquely identifiable and collectible Corvette from the fourth-generation era. 1988 marked the 35th anniversary for Corvette, and so it was decided that Chevrolet should commemorate the milestone by introducing an anniversary-edition model. This anniversary car was the first of its kind in a decade, given that Chevrolet opted not to manufacture a Corvette in 1983.
Chevrolet announced the 2019 Corvette ZR1 at the Dubai Auto Show on November 12, 2017. As with the Corvette Z06, the ZR1 intentions were purely racetrack oriented. While capable of boulevard cruising or even grocery getting, the first priority for the ZR1 is track day dominance. The price was $119,995.
The big news for the 2017 model year is the return of the Corvette Grand Sport. Based on the seventh-generation Corvette, the new Grand Sport brings a number of substantial upgrades that make it the ideal choice for Corvette fans looking for a potent track car with Z06 styling and handling mated to a 460HP LT1 engine.
