Important Update: Mini GT Corvette ZR1 Pre-Order Cancelled

We have some disappointing news to share with our community, and we want to be upfront about it right away.

Mini GT Corvette ZR1 – Cancelled by the Manufacturer

Early this morning we received word from our distributor that the Mini GT 1:64 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 America 250 USA Exclusive will no longer be produced. According to the information we were given, the casting did not meet the manufacturer's standards and the decision was made to cancel the model entirely.

We didn't get much detail — it was a brief notice with little explanation beyond the cancellation itself. We know that's frustrating, and honestly, it's not the way we like to do business either. We're just as disappointed as you are.
