STCC announces date for the 2025 All-Chevy Show

 Hysteria Purple Metallic is one of the three new colors introduced to the 2025 Corvette palette, a darker color joining the bright Competition Yellow Tintcoat Metallic and Sebring Orange  Tintcoat that were also added for the model year. 

The colors indirectly replace the seven paints from the 2024 Chevy Corvette lineup omitted for the current year. Right now, we’re zooming in on the details of Hysteria Purple Bearing color code GXL and touch-up paint number WA-134H.  Hysteria Purple is part of the lineup of ten exterior colors the 2025 Corvette can be ordered with. 

Unlike the other two colors introduced for 2025, this purple hue is not an earlier Corvette color making a comeback, but a truly new addition to the paint lineup. A summary of the 2025 Chevy Corvette colors, including Hysteria Purple, is presented below (paint  codes in parenthesis): • Arctic White (G8G) • Black (GBA) • Rapid Blue (GMO) • Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat (GPH) • Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat (GPH) • Riptide Blue Metallic (GJV) • Sea Wolf Gray Tricoat (GXA) • Torch Red (GKZ) • Competition Yellow Tintcoat Metallic (GBK – new for 2025) • Hysteria Purple Metallic (GXL – new for 2025) • Sebring Orange Tintcoat (G26 – new for 2025) 

Hysteria Purple can be chosen free for any trim level or variant of the 2025 Corvette Stingray, E-Ray or Z06 as a no charge color option. The color can be ordered in conjunction with the Jet Black, Sky Cool Gray, Sky Cool Gray interior / Jet Black seats, Jet Black interior / Sky Cool Gray seats, Jet Black interior / Adrenaline Red seats, Natural, Natural Dipped, and Artemis interior colorways. Adrenaline Red, Adrenaline Red Dipped, Tension Blue / Twilight Blue Dipped, Adrenaline Red interior / Jet Black seats and Habanero are colorways that cannot ordinarily be combined with Hysteria Purple. If you want Hysteria Purple paired with one of these interior colors, it’s necessary to choose the Color Combination Override option (RPO code D30). At a cost of $695, this option enables bypassing Chevy recommended color combos and selecting any available colorway.

In summary, the interior colorways offered on the 2025 Corvette are listed below: • Jet Black • Sky Cool Gray • Sky Cool Gray interior / Jet Black seats • Jet Black interior / Sky Cool Gray seats • Jet Black interior / Adrenaline Red seats 25 | P a g e • Natural • Natural Dipped • Artemis • Habanero • Adrenaline Red • Adrenaline Red Dipped • Tension Blue / Twilight Blue Dipped • Adrenaline Red interior / Jet Black

 The pricing of several 2025 Chevy Corvette variants, specifically the E-Ray and Z06, rose by $2,000 compared to the previous model year. The price of Stingray units of all trims remains the same, however. Starting MSRP ranges from $69,995 for the lower-end Corvette C8 Stingray 1LT Coupe up to a high of $134,345 for the Corvette C8 Z06 3LZ Convertible. These prices already have the $1,695 amount for destination freight charge figured in. The configurator is live online for the convenience of buyers.

The 2025 Corvette ZR1 will arrive later in the model year as the most powerful commercial production Vette model to date. The Stingray gets access to a restyled Z51 rear spoiler (RPO code T0A) for 2025, and the rated fuel economy of the Z06 gets revised to 12 mpg in the city, 20 mpg on the highway, and 14 mpg combined. 

Powerplants for the mid-engine Corvette include the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT2 gasoline engine. This engine is equipped as standard in the Stingray, where it provides 490 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. The same engine, paired with a front-mounted electric motor, motivates the E-Ray, where, combined with the electric propulsion unit, it offers 655 horsepower. 

The upper end of the Vette power curve was supplied until 2025 by the naturally aspirated 5.5L V8 LT6 gasoline engine, which still gives the Z06 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. However, the upcoming C8 Corvette ZR1 will cradle the twin-turbocharged 5.5L V8 LT7 engine – which ups the ante to 1,064 horsepower and 828 pound-feet of torque. 

The GM Y2 platform underpins the Chevy C8 Corvette in all its variants. The  sports car rolls off the assembly line only at the well-known GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.
