2025 C8 Corvette: New Paint, Interior Tones, New Wheel for Z06, and More

Chevrolet has announced 2025 model year updates for the mid-engined C8 Corvette. Among them are new exterior and interior colors, a new wheel design for the Z06, a new spoiler for the Z51 Performance package that normal C8s can spec, and more.

First up: the exterior colors. The 2025 Corvette will see two new paint colors join the fold. The first is Competition Yellow Metallic, a loud and boisterous tone that you can add to either the base C8 or the hybrid, all-wheel-drive Corvette E-Ray. The second tone is called Hysteria Purple Metallic, a deep indigo tone pictured below. Additionally, Sebring Orange will return for the 2025 model year.

Across all 2025 Corvettes, there’s a new interior color called Habanero, as well as a new blue accent stick for the black interior. Sadly, we don’t have pictures of either, but expect to be able to poke around what those might look like when the 2025 model-year configurator goes live at a later date.

Chevy’s high-performance, flat-plane-crank V-8-powered Corvette Z06 gets new shoes in the form of a new 10-spoke wheel, available in four finishes: Pearl Nickel, Gloss Black, Polished, or Bright Polished with Carbon Flash Pockets. No word on whether those wheels are tied to a larger package, such as the Z07 performance package, although because none of these appear to be carbon fiber, we expect they’ll be offered as stand-alone options. You can see the new wheels and the Sebring Orange paint on the image atop this story.

On the normal 6.2-liter LT2 V-8-powered Corvette Stingray, There will be a new spoiler design for the Z51 performance package that, according to Chevy, will “enhance the vehicle’s aggressive persona.” The Z51 performance package also includes performance suspension with manually adjustable threaded spring seats, Brembo high-performance brakes, a performance exhaust, an electronic limited-slip rear differential with a shorter 5.17:1 gear ratio, a heavy-duty cooling system, and more.

Finally, a few minor updates: Velocity Yellow will now be offered on brake calipers, joining bright red, edge red, edge yellow, and black as choices to give your C8 a little extra flair. Also, the leather steering wheel airbag cover will now be offered across the lower two trims of both the Corvette Stingray (1LT and 2LT) and the Corvette Z06 (1LZ and 2LZ).

No word yet on when the 2025 model-year Corvettes will be available in dealer showrooms, but we’d bet they aren’t far away.
