You don't have to be an automobile enthusiast or expert to appreciate the significance of the Chevrolet brand. Chevy was founded in 1911 by Belgian-born race driver Louis Chevrolet and William Durant, who had just been removed from his position as chairman of General Motors. The two men were familiar with each other from Chevrolet's time as a successful driver for Buick, the company Durant had managed in the century's early years. Chevy has produced more than 200 million vehicles since then, including the Suburban, which debuted in 1935 and has the longest uninterrupted production run of any vehicle in history.

You've now seen the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, bringing all the cowbell. When the din calms down some, don't forget that there are three other celebrated trims in the Corvette range, and they've been given a light touch-up for the coming model year. Starting with tweaks for every trim — Stingray, E-Ray, and Z06 — Competition Yellow Tintcoat Metallic and Hysteria Purple Metallic (pictured) are new colors for the exterior colors palette, and Sebring Orange Tintcoat Metallic returns to the menu. The two tintcoats will cost extra, Chevy charging $995 for those finishes on the 2024 Corvette. Hysteria Purple is expected to be a freebie. And buyers will be able to get Velocity Yellow painted brake calipers — a nice perk for those who order cars in Competition Yellow.
