After a short delay, due to the UAW strike, Chevrolet has built the last Corvette C7.

While the model just rolled off the assembly line, the car was sold for $2.7 million at an auction earlier this summer. That’s a huge sum for a Corvette and, at the time, it was billed as the most expensive automaker-donated vehicle sold by Barrett-Jackson.

The final model was a black Corvette Z06 which features a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that develops 650 hp (485 kW / 659 PS) and 650 lb-ft (880 Nm) of torque. It enables the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in as little as 2.95 seconds.

Now that the final Corvette C7 has been built, Chevrolet can turn their attention to the mid-engine C8. Production was scheduled to begin late this year, but was delayed by the UAW strike which closed plants and cost the automaker billions.

GM initially downplayed the impact of the strike, but Chevrolet later told us “Due to the work stoppage, we have had to adjust timing on the launch of the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. Production will now begin in February 2020 at GM’s Bowling Green Assembly Plant.”

The delay is unfortunate, but the 2020 Corvette is shaping up to be an instant hit as it features an impressive combination of design, value and performance. Speaking of the latter, the car is equipped with a new 6.2-liter LT2 V8 engine that produces 490 hp (365 kW / 497 PS) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) of torque. Customers can also order a sports exhaust system or Z51 Performance Package that increases the output to 495 hp (369 kW / 502 PS) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque.

In base trim, the model rockets from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.0 seconds and runs the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds at 123 mph (198 km/h). The Z51 is a tad quicker as the dash to 60 mph (96 km/h) takes 2.9 seconds.

Those are some impressive numbers, especially considering pricing starts at $59,995.
