(July 9, 2020) DETROIT — Corvette has always represented iconic American design, performance, technical ingenuity and attainability. That was vividly displayed with the all-new 2020 Corvette. And Chevrolet says the 2021 Corvette Stingray will retain carryover pricing — the same as the introductory model starting at $59,995 for the coupe and $67,495 for the convertible. Both models include destination freight charges.

The freshened 2021 model includes a few new safety, tech and design options.

"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," Tadge Juechter, Corvette executive chief engineer, said in the statement. "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."

New to the 2021 model, magnetic selective ride control suspension is now available without the Z51 performance package. Also new are standard wireless Apple CarPlay/Wireless Android Auto, buckle-to-drive safety technology, driver mode on-screen visualization and a new track digital tachometer.



The latest model offers new color options: sky cool gray/yellow strike interior; red mist metallic tint-coat exterior; silver flare metallic exterior; and stinger stripes in carbon flash/edge red, carbon flash/edge yellow and carbon flash/midnight silver.

Demand for the 2020 Corvette — which comes standard with a 6-2-liter V-8 making 490 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque _ was five times the amount General Motors allocated dealers. The demand boom was further complicated by a 40-day UAW strike in the fall and a two-month production shutdown spurred by the coronavirus pandemic this year.

Zero-to-60 time in the base Corvette is 3.0 seconds with a quarter mile time of 11.2 seconds a 123 mph according to Chevrolet.
