Chevrolet has been openly testing the 2018 ZR1 for
well over a year but no announcement has been made about when the supercar will
premiere.
Last month, Chevrolet informed its dealerships that
production of 2018 Corvette models will end in just a few months and that
production of the 2019 car will commence at the end of January. This means that
the new ZR1 will be a 2019 model year car. Additionally, the American carmaker
has confirmed dealerships will receive 2019 Order Guides on November 20th.
Well, it could mean
that the new ZR1 will debut earlier than expected, potentially at next week’s
Dubai Motor Show on November 14th. Initially, it was thought the car would
launch at the Los Angeles Auto Show at the end of this month. However, it
wouldn’t make sense for the car’s order guide to be made public a full 10 days
before its debut, as Corvette Blogger mentions.
While Chevrolet has yet to comment on the
rumors, they aren’t all that far-fetched, even if the Dubai Motor Show seems
like an odd place to reveal the new ZR1. Either way, an appearance in LA seems
inevitable for, at the very least, the car’s U.S. debut.
