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?

Enjoy a peek at some of the forthcoming features and special displays to be showcased at the 74th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance — from the iconic Invictas that circumnavigated the world and set multiple speed records to Chrysler’s beloved Town and Country “woody” wagons and the forward-leaning creations of design great Virgil Exner. Sandra Button and members our Selection Committee also discuss the direct process of choosing our Best of Show car.
