Published on April 23, 2020 in News by Germain Goyer

Hagerty recently got hold of a document containing General Motors’ plan for the Chevrolet Corvette in the coming years.

If the information is correct, a 1,000-horsepower variant called “Zora” will debut in 2025, using a twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V8 engine backed by hybrid technology. Peak torque would amount to 975 pound-feet.

Before that, another hybrid Corvette will appear in 2023. The document says it will bear the “Grand Sport” moniker.
