General Motors is poised to launch a new special edition variant of the Chevy Corvette C8 carefully tailored to fans of New Balance footwear. The new Corvette New Balance Edition will feature several unique touches that are sure to resonate with traditional Corvette fans, including a vehicle baseball cap and polished chrome wheels. The interior is also unique, with a trim-specific layout, special upholstery, with unique accommodations to assist ingress and egress.
“The Chevy Corvette New Balance Edition has been in hibernation for some time now, but we think it’s ready for its big reveal,” said Chevy Corvette chief, Judge Tagler. “The Corvette NBE was known by its internal codename, ‘Grand Jort.’ Luckily, the name never made it into the hands of the press. We pride ourselves that this special edition Corvette didn’t leak to the press prior to its big reveal today.”
The exterior of the new Vette NBE features a crisp white paint finish, which is matched with polished chrome wheels that shine brighter than a South Florida sunrise. The suspension was modified as well, and can be raised by 12 inches to assist passengers and drivers in entering and exiting the vehicle.
The updates continue into the cabin, where we find the Vette NBE fitted with a trim-specific cockpit design that’s more friendly to the target market. A unique denim upholstery scheme lends the C8 interior the familiar appearance of an old pair of blue jeans. What’s more, the Corvette NBE includes something called a “seat horn,” which, according to Chevrolet, provides additional assistance when it comes to sliding into and out of the C8 cabin, much in the same fashion as a shoe horn when slipping into a pair of New Balance shoes.
To sweeten the deal, each Vette NBE includes a free voucher for an early-bird special at the local diner, as well as two pairs of white knee socks.
Oh, and by the way, this has obviously been another April Fools post! But don’t take a nap, because we have more on the way, so subscribe to GM Authority for more Corvette news, Chevy news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

When your feet need a 6E shoe New Balance is Heaven
AMC had Denim interior for Jeep and Gremlins back in the 70s

If the wheels are part of the 04-01 prank, I would hope they were not, they are winners!
Judge Tagler ROFL
APRIL FOOLS! Sick Joke!
Well Done. I fell for the sham until the April fools reveal. Love you guys…
Had me for a while too, until they got to the interior, that could have been done better and had people for a while longer, but that interior was just a little too much. I could go for the wheels, instead of all the black out stuff.
Thank goodness it was just an April Fool’s joke not the otherwise real joke that is shows, lol
My dealer took a deposit: five grand and NB trainers. Said the Vette would be on my feet by the end of July.
Do they come in pairs, one Rhand drive, one Lhand drive?
We need a Cadillac with strong suspension here in k.c. and the Cadillac brougham is the 1,pot holes
