While we’ve heard this song and dance before, the stars appear to be aligning for the long-rumored Corvette interior redesign to come in 2026. Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve heard the rumblings (again), and now there appears to be confirmation from two different sources who have both offered up reliable info in the past.

Do you remember the three C3 Corvettes we showed you a few weeks ago that had been parked in a garage and had accumulated layers of dirt and grime over the decades?
Criswell Chevrolet’s Mike Furman delivers new Corvettes to his customers who come from all across the country to work with the nation’s top individual Corvette seller.
“Strike while the iron is hot!” We think it’s safe to say that those words perfectly sum up the current state of the C7 ZR1 market. Over the past year, we’ve seen so many noteworthy examples cross the auction block or otherwise attempt to change hands; there was the final 2019 convertible, quite possibly the lowest mileage example in the world, and even the polarizing ZR1 Callaway AeroWagon, just to name a few that have made our front page since the start of the current school year. With some prices reaching more than double the model’s original MSRP and the added hype of an eminent ZR1 reveal (just the 5th in recorded history, and the 4th where “ZR1” really meant ZR1!), it’s easy to see why so many owners are testing the waters.

Since the 2024 Corvette E-Rays first hit the streets earlier this year, we’ve been excited to see what the tuners would be able to do with Chevy’s performance hybrid Corvette. The Corvette E-Ray already makes a combined 655-hp from its combination of the front electric motor and rear-mounted V8 engine. As many tuners already have years of experience in tuning the 495-hp LT2 motor, companies like Lingenfelter Performance Engineering could get right to work.
Little Johnny was on to something, so he quit his regular job and started a blog about Corvettes. “Someday that car will be mine,” he said.
The Michelin NCM Bash is scheduled for April 25-27 at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It’s one of our favorite shows of the year as we get to see old friends and new friends alike, as well as hear about all the great new changes coming for the upcoming 2025 model year Corvettes.

When the C8 Corvette Z06 first started hitting the streets and looking for competition, the place to go was the local drag strip, despite the fact that the car was really designed for being a track weapon. Even Corvette’s Executive Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter was a little surprised with all the drag racing that was going on and he commented on it once, saying the car wasn’t really designed to be a “numbers” car.
