With the arrival of the Corvette ZR1 in just a few months, and the all-new mid-engined Corvette expected to follow shortly thereafter, Chevy is readying its facilities for an overhaul. In doing so, a new report suggests that the current Corvette will be built in limited numbers for the 2018 model year.
According to the Bowling Green Daily News, production of the 2018 Corvette will last just four months at Chevy’s Bowling Green, Kentucky, assembly plant. Production of the lightly improved Corvette will kick off next month following the facility’s three-month pause in anticipation of the new model.
Though its official debut is still unknown, rumor has it that the new Corvette ZR1 will be shown early in 2018 prior to being sold as a 2019 model later in the year. The upcoming Detroit Auto Show seems like the most likely place for a debut.

Billed as the fastest and most powerful Corvette ever created, the ZR1 features a supercharged 6.2-liter LT5 V8 engine that produces 755 hp (563 kW/765ps) and 715 lb-ft (968 Nm) of torque. It can be paired to either a seven-speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic transmission. Chevrolet didn't go into specifics but confirmed the model has a top speed in excess of 210 mph (337 km/h).
The optional ZTK Performance Package goes even further as it adds a front splitter and an adjustable "High Wing" that provides an estimated 950 pounds (430 kg) of downforce.
The package also includes Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 summer tires, chassis modifications, and a retuned Magnetic Ride Control system that promises to deliver even greater cornering grip.
Isto é carro para limpar os tempos por volta em praticamente todos os circuitos (excluíndo hypercars obviamente).
Uma despedida em grande do Corvette de motor à frente.
