Did Oliver Gavin just announce the C7 Grand Sport?
 

Oliver Gavin just posted this to Instagram. Grand Sport announcement tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show?!?!?!?!?

Yes I think he just did!! What a surprise!

:lurk:

Yes, pretty sure. Those Brits must not have heard that GM keeps these things a secret.
Hopefully he doesn't get called to the principal's office.

I saw the same thing. We'll know tomorrow! :thumbs:

:lurk:

:lurk:

That would be awesome. A car that I could make a track rat

Yes, the official announcement comes tomorrow at the Geneva show. It's here.

Woo Hoo! This should up the new Corvette demand again.

That would be great news. Looking forward to seeing more info posted on this.

Sooooo, the expectation is there will be a Grand Sport announcement a full two months before the bash at the end of April?
Really?
Just askin'

If this is true, I got this one DEAD wrong. I never thought they would do a Grand Sport after what the C6 GS did to the Z06, sales wise. Oh well...can't wait to see it.

What do we expect the differences will be on a Grand Sport edition from a normal or Z51 Vette?

Assuming it's true, announcing at the Geneva show gets a TON more press than the Bash.

I woke up and checked my instagram feed and was like...."wtf did he just say!?"

Here it comes! Hopefully I get the track C7 I want...cmon baby!

lets see.. Z06 body, brakes, wheels and tire sizes. HP bump to 500hp. grand sport badging and graphics. just my guess.

probably costing about $10-15k more than a z51...

darn should have waited another year to buy...

Um Geneva is a bit bigger of a deal then the NCM bash.

OK, makes sense. Doesn't leave a whole lot for the bash. But it's sales that count.

It's being introduced with the C7R on a turntable. There is a driving vid introduction it says. Using the Corvette team to promo it....definitely sounds like it's intent is to fill a void.
