In addition to the debut of the new Corvette ZR1, the 2025 Corvette also introduces a range of updates and changes for the rest of the C8 lineup – C8 Stingray included. Compared to the preceding model year, the 2025 Corvette Stingray offers a new alloy wheel finish, a larger front splitter design, and a revised exterior paint options list. What’s more, 2025 Stingray customers will have four new appearance packages to choose from.
According to a report from Chevy Society, which cites internal sources familiar with the matter, the four new appearance packages for the 2025 Corvette Stingray are referred to internally as the “Stingray Spring Packages,” and will be available in the Spring of the 2025 calendar year. The packages reportedly bundle together a range of aesthetic features for a much lower price than if the features where optioned individually.
The new packages include the Adrenaline Red Accent Package (RPO code PCH), the Tension Blue Accent Package (RPO code PCI), the Velocity Yellow Accent Package, and the Edge Orange Accent Package (RPO code). To note, the Tension Blue package was inspired by the Chevrolet Engineering Research Vehicle (CERV), a series of experimental racing vehicles first developed in the late ‘50s.

Gosh, what a revelation…now if they could offer exterior colors that aren’t Barney Purple, Orange Juice or Road Sign Yellow! How many design engineers did it take to get these offerings done?
There are a lot of Sports Cars out there that carry the Orange and Yellow colors and have been for a long time; Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini..and they all still look good.
Every “option” I see requires “black dipped” interior. That’s really not much of a choice.
Wow. I guess I’ll buy one now.
Hello, can you please let me know what would be the best Chevrolet dealership for me to order a ZR1 Corvette? I currently purchased a Z06 from the Chevrolet dealer closest to my home which is in Thousand Oaks Ca. It took three C8’s in order for me to get a Z06. I asked about ordering a new ZR1
at Swickard Chevrolet, where I bought my Z06 , the G.M. Just looked at me and laughed! I don’t care where I need to go in the Country to build and buy a ZR1, I will give them my Z06 towards the purchase of a ZR1.
I own my Z06 and have the title to it. So, whoever sells me the ZR1, will also get my Z06 LT3 Coupe in a silvery white color towards the purchase of a ZR1.
Thank you, for your help and time.

Get ahold of a Corvette magazine or go to their website and look at the dealers there. Many are selling at MSRP and are taking orders now for the ZR1.
