Exclusive Corvette NFT from xsullo and Matching 2023 Z06 on the way to auction

DETROIT – The first mid-engine Corvette Z06 continues its promise to make a name for itself with Chevrolet’s first entry into the Web3 space: a one-of-a-kind 2023 Corvette Z06-inspired NFT artwork created by artist xsullo. The upcoming “Own the Color” auction pairs NFT with a specially painted, genuine Corvette Z06 from 2023 color-matched artwork. At the end of the auction, offered exclusively via SuperRare, the pioneering marketplace for unique curated NFT artwork, the winning bidder will be able to say that they “own the color” – Minted Green, a reference to the embossing of NFTs. The auction will be live for qualified bidders worldwide 20-24. June, and those interested can only place bids in Ethereum.

All proceeds from the auction will benefit DonorsChoose. The organization’s task is to make it easy for everyone to help a teacher in need and move us closer to a nation where students in all communities have the tools and experiences they need for a good education. Full terms and conditions of the auction, including restrictions, qualifications and how to win are available at Chevrolet.com/CorvetteZ06NFTterms.

“The Corvette is a halo of Chevrolet. It’s top performance, and staying ahead means getting into new territories as a bit of a pioneer, “said Steve Majoros, vice president of Chevrolet Marketing. “This is the company’s first NFT. We see ‘Own the Color’ as an important springboard for Chevrolet into future digital initiatives for our customers.”

“Own the Color” means that Chevrolet will not use Minted Green on another production of the 2023 Corvette Z06. In addition to a digital certificate of ownership and authenticity for the artwork, the physical Corvette Z06, equipped with the Z07 performance package, carbon fiber wheels and a memory plaque, will carry the alternative code RFN. The significance will forever link the car to this auction, and it is a one-of-a-kind status. Furthermore, the VIN code of this Corvette Z06 is inspired by binary code, the language of computers, as an additional connection between the car and Web3.

The pulsating work of xsullo continues to create waves over the crypto art and NFT environments as the “Own the Color” auction approaches, and many pieces from xsullo have sold on SuperRare.

“I have wanted to combine my digital art with the physical world, so it has been a great opportunity to work with Chevrolet to build a bridge between these two worlds,” said xsullo. “The Corvette Z06 is an ambitious car that I enjoy. I’m attracted to how technology can make us feel, and I can tell you that the designers of the Corvette Z06 draw from similar inspiration. “

DonorsChoose and Chevrolet have a history of collaborating on projects that promote General Motors’ commitment to STEM education for all. This auction takes advantage of the opportunity for DonorsChoose to collect cryptocurrency donations, and highlights the many ways people can help teachers influence their students. In 2022, two previous auctions involving the Corvette Z06 raised $ 4.6 million in charitable donations to other nonprofits.

“GM empowers STEM teachers through one of the most innovative ways our teachers have received funding for their DonorsChoose projects,” said Alix Guerrier, CEO of DonorsChoose. “This partnership demonstrates the potential for the digital and traditional sectors to engage in a way that benefits students’ education in public schools across the country.”

As a way to bring the digital world into real life, the “Own the Color” artwork will be available for display at The Crypt Gallery during NFT NYC, one of this year’s largest NFT events. Crypt Gallery, the first NFT gallery in the hospitality industry, launches its second location at the Dream Downtown Hotel in New York City.

Chevrolet and SuperRare will also host a Twitter Spaces on June 20, with The Crypt Gallery, xsullo and others to discuss this unique offering.
