[SPIED] Corvette Engineers Return to the Nürburgring with Lap Record Runs Planned
- Chevrolet engineers have returned to the Nürburgring in Germany with high-performance Corvettes for testing, including Z06, ZR1, and ZORA models.
- The group is driving painted production (or production-ready) cars instead of camouflaged prototypes, and timed hot laps are planned.
- Six Corvettes are being tested, including Z06s in Accelerate Yellow and Black, ZR1 Coupes in Black and Red, and ZORA cars in Purple and Competition Yellow.
- The Z06s and ZR1s appear to be production models, and there is anticipation for fast lap times to challenge record runs.
- Corvette Executive Chief Engineer Tony Roma hinted at continued testing at the Nürburgring during the NCM Bash in April.
- The GM team will spend three weeks in Germany, with plans for at least two record runs on the 12.9-mile track after training and other races.
- Chevy brought ZORA models with hybrid powertrains to the Nürburgring for testing, indicating possible future options or models.
- Rumors suggest the ZORA could be an option on the ZR1 model, potentially to be introduced on 2026 models.
- More photos and a video from the testing event are expected to be shared, offering enthusiasts a closer look at the Corvettes in action.
