This Friday, Chevrolet will reveal not one, but four special edition 2019 Corvette models. Yet, they’ve leaked ahead of their debut and we’ve learned the cars have been hiding in plain sight for some time now.
Corvette Blogger reported on the leaked cars on Wednesday after a source informed the site that the Daytona International Speedway smartphone app features the photo seen above. There are four 2019 Corvette Grand Sport Driver Series editions shown, each with input and design from a Corvette Racing driver.
Oliver Gavin, Jan Magnussen, Tommy Milner and Antonio Garcia each selected their own exterior color motif which led the cars’ final outfittings. From left to right, we see the first is black with red graphics, the second is Arctic White with Long Beach Red body stripes, the third is finished in Elkhart Lake Blue with silver body stripes, and the final car is Corvette Racing Yellow with black graphics. Each car also wears the Grand Sport’s iconic hash marks above the front wheels, too.
The 2019 Corvette Grand Sport Driver Series is said to also feature a commemorative plaque inside and they’ll be fully loaded with the 3LT option package.
We’ll learn more about the special cars this Friday, but here’s a fun fact: Chevrolet has literally hidden the cars in plain sight before the internet discovered them. Three of the four cars have sat parked at the Chevrolet Experience Center at Daytona since the Roar Before the 24 took place. Clearly, no one thought anything of them.

LAME.
Yes. A balls-to-the-wall type of ZR1 would have been better for the end of the C7 series!
How about a true Grand Tour model that actually IS a Gentlmans ride ?
Comfort suspension, posh interior, like a Lexus but with Stingray style? Not all Vette owners want to be Racers.
The vehicle you’re describing is best being a separate model wearing the Cadillac Crest.
Not a great way for the C7 to leave. Adding more stripes and colors to a Grand Sport will not sustain a great memory. A ZR1 with more boost to 800 HP would be a nice introduction to the next generation C8 that will probably get an 800 HP engine.
I see GM has their crack decal engineers working overtime in an attempt to breath life into lagging C7 sales. Maybe they should consider something that would improve the driving experience or performance…..nah, what was I thinking. Vette buyers always seen to think a Vette with a stripe kit is cool.
THIS IS MY 3RD CHEVY CORVETTE 2017 GRAND SPORT 3LT AND MY BEST ONE SO FAR 460HP IS JUST RIGHT
HAD 911 IN THE PAST FOR THE MONEY THE CORVETTES THE BEST VALUE
GM never fails to let us down……….Get some damn car people to decide these things,huh????? Damn stupid!!!!!!!!!!
