Auto manufacturers work tirelessly to keep secrets, particularly when it comes to keeping the lid on leaks about new products. When it comes to halo cars like the Chevrolet Corvette, you can bet info is kept on a need-to-know basis. Unfortunately for Chevrolet, need-to-know operative and Corvette Racing team driver Oliver Gavin?you might recognize him as a five-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner?inadvertently confirmed what we?ve suspected for some time: The 2017 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Grand Sport will make its debut at the 2016 Geneva auto show.
The leak comes by way of Gavin?s Instagram account, as the affable Brit apparently took a moment to review his Geneva itinerary in public, noting that he was off to “rehearsal for the @corvette #GrandSport world premiere tomorrow.” Zoom in on the itinerary pictured, and you can see that both a ?Corvette Grand Sport video? and a ?Grand Sport drive-on”?with lead Corvette engineer Tadge Juechter at the wheel!?are planned for the big reveal.
Made it to Geneva. Now heading to #genevamotorshow for rehearsal for the @corvette #GrandSport world premiere tomorrow.
