Get a 'Vette this year...
Iconic Corvette and Camaro models will soon be available through Chevrolet's UK dealer network, giving owners the added bonus of a full factory warranty.
The full Chevrolet Corvette line-up including the 638hp ZR1 will be available from a single official UK dealer, the name of which is expected to be revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed next week. In recent years the ZR1 has been available through an officially-sanctioned importer, but no longer, we're told. The top Vette's £106,660 price is unlikely tochange when sales begin through the new official distributor next month, while prices for Z06, Grand Sport and basic models have yet to be finalised.
...or a Camaro SS next year
The Camaro will only be available in the UK in SS guise, offering 426hp from its 6.2 litre LS3 V8 - an engine that also appears in the Corvette. Unlike the Corvette, the plan is to offer the Camaro SS through a greater number of Chevy's existing 96 UK dealerships, but we don't know which ones yet.
Sales of the Camaro are due to commence next May, with pricing in the £30-35k bracket, and no, they won't be coming with right-hand drive.
Both Chevrolet models will be appearing at Goodwood next week, running in the event's Moving Motor Show on Thursday July 1, and in the supercar run up the famous hillclimb circuit on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Also flying the Chevy flag will be Jason Plato and Alex MacDowall in their Cruze Touring Cars.
