What’s New With the 2021 Stingray!

The 2021 Corvette Stingray – Carryover Pricing and New Content!

Before we get into all the exciting new options and features packed into the 2021 Corvette Stingray, we want to share this exciting news with you – there will not be a price increase for the 2021 model year!

Corvette has always represented iconic American design, performance, technical ingenuity and attainability. The 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray will be offered to consumers with carryover pricing – the same pricing as the introductory model – with an MSRP starting at $59,995 for the coupe and $67,495 for the convertible.  Both models include destination freight charge.

“Our mission was to develop a new sports car, combining the successful attributes of Corvette with the performance and driving experience of mid-engine supercars,” said Tadge Juechter, Corvette executive chief engineer. “We are thrilled with the enthusiasm the mid-engine Corvette brought following its launch and are keeping it fresh with new content for the 2021 model.”

Customers will be able to order the 2021 C8s beginning in late July.  Production of the 2020 model will also be extended through most of the year to try and fill as many of the existing 2020 Stingray orders as possible.

“We initially said we would start taking 2021 Corvette orders at the end of (May) but, again, due to the plant being down for two months, we’re adjusting that timing to late July,” Juechter said.
