In the course of developing the 2025 Corvette ZR1, we’ve become use to seeing the familiar sight of prototype C8s wearing GM’s white/black camouflage wraps. But now that Chevrolet has officially revealed the ZR1 to the public, we expected that those few prototypes that are being driven in public may start to show their true colors.

Well, we’re not wrong! We got confirmation of this through social media and the WhatDrivesDetroit Instagram account. On Tuesday, they posted a photo of a Red Corvette ZR1 Coupe with the high wing that was spied “unmasked” on the streets of Detroit.

One of the interesting aspects of this car is that has a mashup with bodycolor trim and the visible carbon fiber side intake trim. Our understanding of the ZR1 is that its available only with the carbon fiber trim and that no body-color trim option would be available. The car also has a number 5 in the upper right-corner as well as a pre-prototype VIN sticker on the windshield.

So far, GM has only built 36 ZR1 prototypes to date and we’ve haven’t heard of any others that have gone down the Bowling Green assembly line since early June. This “lack of ZR1s” means that the prototype show cars will be in much demand over the next few months.

The prototype drivers/engineers need to go out and embarrass some German and Italian iron.

Let’s move on to the next Corvette. Maybe it will be one that most of us fans can actually buy.
