Spied! 2018 Corvette ZR1 Caught With an Automatic Transmission Last time we caught the 2018 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 out testing, it was being flogged on the Nürburgring. A few days later, we caught it out on the ‘Ring again, this time with extra piping out back to keep its exhaust noise below the 100-decibel limit. This time around, the ZR1 was seen testing in much more pedestrian circumstances and wearing way less camouflage. © Motor Trend Staff As you can see, the camouflage thatis still there doesn't hide much. You can clearly see the aggressive splitter up front, as well as that massive wing out back. Of course, with a wing that large, no amount of camouflage could effectively keep it hidden.

Upfront, the Corvette ZR1 gets an aggressive splitter up front, and it's hard to miss that giant wing around back too.

What's under the powerdome hood is still a mystery until Sunday's reveal, but insiders suggest a new dual-overhead cam supercharged V-8 codenamed LT5 lurks inside that produces 750 horsepower.

The 2019 Chevrolet C7 Corvette ZR 1 will likely debut in Dubai next week, per a new report and invites sent to owners. Specifically, what will likely be the most track-focused and powerful C7 Corvette will show face at the Dubai Motor Show , if the report pans out.

The engine will likely be mated to a 10-speedautomatictransmission. No word on a manual transmission is known at this time, but our fingers are crossed.

2019 order guides are expected to reach dealerships by November 20, but possibly sooner since most folks can't help but leak things like that to their favorite forum or website.

Corvette Blogger revealed the official Dubai invite that reads, "You are invited to celebrate 65 years of Chevrolet performance."

It also includes the November 12 date and the time 7-10:30 pm. Sounds like an awesome party. We were also invited; so stay tuned for more details and photos from the big event. No word on Zora just yet, but who knows?

If you can't make it out to the Middle East for the weekend, the next chance to see the ZR1 will be on November 27 at the Los Angeles auto show.

Production should start in January and models should reach us hopefully by the summer.
