Concorso Ferrari: Celebrating a Heritage of Racing
1,250 Horsepower Isn’t The Final Word!
In a recent interview with Top Gear, Corvette boss Tony Roma made it clear: the new ZR1X is “not the end of the story, it’s just the latest chapter.” The same engineering minds behind Cadillac’s Blackwing sedans are pushing the boundaries of what the C8 can do, and they’re just getting started.
The ZR1X already combines 1064 hp from its twin-turbo V8 with an additional 186 hp electric front motor, delivering all-wheel-drive grip and neck-snapping acceleration. Add in lightweight carbon fiber, 1200 lbs of downforce from its aero kit, and the NĂĽrburgring in their sights.
But Roma hints more is coming, not just in horsepower, but in next-level weight savings and maybe even active aerodynamics to push performance even further. Win a 2026 Corvette ZR1 with ZTK!

Corvette Racing Takes Victory at Imola!
Corvette Racing roared to a milestone win in the 2025 European Le Mans Series, claiming its first victory of the season at the legendary Imola Circuit in Italy!
Piloting the No. 82 Corvette Z06 GT3.R, the TF Sport team—Charlie Eastwood, Rui Andrade, and Hiroshi Koizumi—delivered a commanding performance in a challenging, rain-soaked four-hour sprint. The Corvette crossed the line with a dominant 7.4-second margin, leading 63 laps in total.
Koizumi kicked off the charge with a heroic drive from the back of the pack to P2. Andrade kept the pressure on up front, and Eastwood sealed the win with a flawless final stint.
“This is a landmark victory for the Corvette Z06 GT3.R and TF Sport,” said Jessica Dane, Corvette Racing Program Manager. “The drivers and team delivered under pressure and changing weather. Congratulations to all on a well-earned win.”

Wishing You a Joyous Fourth of July!
As we gather to celebrate the Fourth of July, we reflect on the spirit of independence and the values that unite us as a nation. This day commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, marking the birth of the United States of America.
Whether you’re planning a backyard barbecue, enjoying a fireworks display, going to a car show, or simply spending time with loved ones, the Fourth of July is a time to appreciate the freedoms we cherish and the opportunities our country provides. It’s a day filled with patriotic pride, festive activities, and, of course, plenty of red, white, and blue.
Let’s take a moment to honor those who have fought for our freedoms and continue to serve our country. Their dedication and sacrifice ensure that we can celebrate this day with joy and gratitude.

In With The New, Out With The Old
According to GMAuthority.com, the 2026 Corvette Stingray is bringing big updates from fresh paint colors to a redesigned interior, and even the debut of the powerhouse ZR1X hybrid. But not all changes are additions.
Two wheel options are being dropped for 2026, including the popular Carbon Flash painted Q8Q wheels, with no replacement planned. The old base wheels are replaced by five-split-spoke Pearl Nickel forged aluminum wheels. That means the Stingray’s wheel choices drop from ten to nine.
If you’re a fan of the outgoing styles, now’s the time to grab a 2025 while they’re still available.

ZR1X, Not Zora!

GM isn’t ruling out the use of the Zora name in the future.
Corvette fans have been buzzing with anticipation over Chevrolet’s latest high-performance masterpiece: the 2026 ZR1X, but alongside the excitement, there’s been one big question on everyone’s mind: Why isn’t it called the Zora?
After all, Zora Arkus-Duntov, the “Father of the Corvette”, has long been associated with the dream of a mid-engine, world-class supercar. Wouldn’t this new AWD, twin-turbo hybrid beast be the perfect car to bear his name?
The ZR1 badge is already legendary in Corvette circles. First appearing in 1970 on the C3 as a factory race-ready package, and later resurrected with the iconic C4 and then the supercharged C6 and C7 monsters. The ZR1 name signals extreme performance, cutting-edge tech, and track prowess. […]
