VIDEO FROM THE 2016 GENEVA AUTOSHOW
This video is from the Geneva Autoshow where the 2017 Grand Sport and Collector Edition were announced publicly for the first time. The Collector Edition shown in this video is a prototype and was never sold (it has an experimental VIN). The car is actually a 2015 2LT Stingray that was cosmetically modified for show purposes. There are two noticeable differences in this car from the production vehicles:
The dash plaque shows 0001/1000. The production plaques show only the number of the vehicle, not the /1000.
The production sill plates that say Grand Sport is not colored the way it shows in the video, there is no blue in the production version.
