Introducing the Quail Silver Limited Edition

Chevrolet is also launching a special-edition ZR1X that’s limited in production and high in exclusivity. The Quail Silver Limited Edition will debut on August 15 at The Quail – A Motorsports Gathering in Carmel, California, as part of Monterey Car Week.

Its defining feature is a striking Blade Silver Matte exterior, marking the first matte finish offered on a factory Corvette in over 60 years. The color pays tribute to Inca Silver, which graced the C1 Corvette from 1957 to 1959. The interior receives a bespoke Sky Cool Gray and Medium Ash Gray two-tone treatment, accented with Habanero orange highlights, one of several new interior themes across the 2026 Corvette lineup.

This version will come exclusively as a 3LZ Convertible, priced from $241,395 (plus destination), and will be produced in limited numbers starting in 2026. Additional visual highlights include orange-painted calipers, black exhaust tips, Carbon Flash-painted mirrors, Quail Silver Limited Edition badge on the waterfall speaker, and a numbered build plaque inside the cabin.

Orange painted calipers add to the unique interior color combo.

Chevrolet on Craftsmanship and Collectibility

“Corvettes are the pride and joy of their owners – this has been true since we first began selling the nameplate more than 70 years ago. They honor its craftsmanship and design as much as its engineering excellence,” said Scott Bell, VP of Global Chevrolet. “The ZR1X Quail Silver Limited Edition presents a highly exclusive option for Corvette customers looking for a collectible item.”

“The Design team is always looking to innovate, and the Blade Silver Matte paint color marks a significant moment for Corvette as the first factory matte paint in 60 years,” said Phil Zak, executive design director of Global Chevrolet. “This new finish creates a distinctly high-end feel and offers a rare chance to own a truly unique expression of Corvette.”
