That is going to be amazing! Is that a different/darker green or just the lighting?

Unbelievable! Very cool.

So, does than mean with the new naming convention, the Eray will become the Xray?

I dunno, we've been waiting on Zora for YEARS, ZR-1 X is sorta anti-climatic IMO.

I wonder if E-Ray owners will swap out the E-Ray badge for some Stingray X badges? lol

Glad we got more information on the new brake setup.

Alcon 10piston F/6piston R with 16.5in rotors front and rear. Sheesh. Still don't know if they're standard or optional on the "regular" ZR1.

All of the new revised chassis systems are pretty impressive too.

I have just one more small ask for GM, a lightweight Weissach-style Z06. That's all. No biggie.

Do we now know, with any level of certainty, that there isn't a Zora still coming? After all, we really need more horsepower.

Per GM, the J59 package will be optional on 2026+ ZR1 ZTK Package orders.
