New Roads

October 18th, 2024 Newsletter Archives

Welcome to the first edition of the GM News email letter. Each week, we’ll highlight some of our best stories, along with a little commentary from yours truly. 

The coolest news this week was the 233-mph speed run by the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, with GM President Mark Reuss at the wheel. In that moment, the ZR1 became the fastest car ever built by an American auto manufacturer, the fastest current production car priced under $1 million, and the fastest factory-stock Corvette on earth.

Don’t try that on I-75.

We’re super excited about the recent debut of GM News – and this newsletter. If you have thoughts on either one, feel to reach out at news@gm.com. Enjoy the ride. And the read.
