Nice document. Seems the 2026 inspiration coupe has active rear steer so that would be the way to go if you cant find a non bespoke one and want DHP. A pricy way to get one especially with the ADMs if you werent lucky enough to have a dealer selling you one at MSRP.

Is anyone else super turned off by the wing on the 2026 inspiration? I dont care for it at all, would need to find an inconspicuous lip spoiler to replace it just to cover up the mounting holes. No disrespect to those who like it but it just isnt for me.

As wings go I think it's as fitting in visual design as possible. But I'm not a fan of wings in general for even an aggressive GT road car. Detracts from a artful body design and adds little to no performance benefits at non track driving speeds. However and absolutely to each their own.

Yeah thats one of my biggest issues with wings on road cars. If you arent on a track, the wing is pointless, detracts from the car's lines, and creates extra drag for no reason. I've never understood the desire for wings on cars. Even spoilers are more or less pointless at legal public road speeds. My C8 didnt even have a lip spoiler let alone a wing despite the car being far more suited to it than an LC aesthetically.

I still see some inspiration series and convertible sitting on the lot. The other incoming ones are pre-sold or sale pending and not many with DHP.

When I called around they don't see more allocation on their system, and the ones in transit are spoken for and mostly bespoke package.

Open to a 2025 Flare yellow or Atomic Silver too, mainly want DHP and black/tan interior. My ocd would drive me crazy on white interior.
If anyone have any leads please let me know, hoping I can still snag one this year before the car is discontinued.
care to share who has a coupe unspokenfore
