That red interior (and pillar/headliner) reminds me of the GT2RS interior, which coincidentally was the reveal spec which GM owned for comparison.


I love colored leather interiors. Black is fine, but life is too short to have a boring color inside or out on your car, especially your sports car. Sometimes I find the color blocking to lack some refinement in Corvettes, but am glad there are bold choices. I'm not a fan of the new yellow/gray interior, but I think some red, blue, saddle or even green leathers would be great. I think the Brownstone was nice, and am a big fan of the Morello Red interior. Sometimes it can get a little loud, but the bright colored seats with a splash on the door cards along with a black or charcoal background always look nice.

Sarcasm about how the sun works in high end cars, or that the Corvette is a car for the bourgeois?

Sarcasm in the sense that I don't really believe that either statement is true, and mostly I was poking a couple of different posters on two of their favorite topics at the same time.

This is not a new red; it was confirmed today that the interior of the car in question is the always fully dipped Morello.

There should be a owner use tax (blah division) applied to black interiors.

Dipped is the way to go today…

If they offer better colors than the current dipped I agree.

Fine if you do not like dipped interiors. How about if it is offered for people who like dipped interiors?

I'm a sucker for an all red interior so I hope it happens.

By the GM employee driving that car who happened to have his motel room on the same floor as “Roger” who took the video both days. If you notice one of them waving to Roger the videographer the second day, they had become hall buddies. But of course that GM engineer properly would not answer a single one of Roger’s questions about any of the Z06’s components — but he was comfortable about answer the question about the exact red interior color.

And I know plenty who do not like it. A refresh may be coming.

Always reminds me of my friend's mother's Cordoba back in the day... I wonder if GM will also offer genuine Coninthian Leather... 1980 called and wants....

So you saved an old photo of your friend's mom's car? Must have sentimental value, lol. Unless you just searched for it I guess

Porsche got sued over the tan dash reflections. The class action settlement, for most owners, was enough money to buy a pair of polarized sunglasses.

The photos in the OP look like Morello to me.
