It's advertised as "X", so maybe the Zora/ZR1e? Cannot tell from the sound clip what it may be. Hopefully may be the Grand Sport, but there is a crackling electric sound...

Great, I feel like I'm old since I forgot that Twitter changed the name to X so I thought it was a version of the Z06 trim, lol.

I did read 2 days ago that there were 2 ZR-1s in Germany driving around the town where Nurburgring is. I specifically remember one of them was purple. These 2 ZR-1s also had a yellow sticker on the windshield which denotes to the safety crews that there is a lithium battery in that vehicle. Speculation is, it was the Zora. Another speculation was that GM is officially trying to see what the best time on the ring would be for the ZR-1.

Default It’s the ZR1 Hybrid

It’s the AWD ZR1. And I hope it’s the last “new” model. I keep reading about people wanting the GS, but for what? There’s a Z51, the E-Ray, the Z06, the ZR1 and now the Zora package for the ZR1. With brand new Stingrays still selling for $100K (HTC) why get a GS? Might as well get an actual bump, not just the look.

This is what they're showing. I don't think that's the X platform logo.

Sorry the humor was not conveyed in the best way - you see The X Chevy used looks an awful lot like the X used for the social media platform X formally twitter.

The confusion going around in other chats was if chevy would be announcing the new C8 model on “X” or if the actual trim level will be called “X”

the font and design look strikingly alike.

The joke is that If it is indeed the social media X, well then that would alienate the boomers since we all know you don't have this app on your phones. Again apologies the joke ran dry and i had to break it all down. I deff got a kick out of it because obviously Im wrong (millennial) and the trim will be “X”

Or someone not knowing that X is formerly known as twitter, not formally.
