GM Says 2020 Corvette Stingray Is Already Sold Out

General Motors has revealed that the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has sold out for the 2020 model year, as since the mid-engined sports car premiered back in mid-July, enthusiasts across the United States have been rushing to get their orders in.

Speaking recently with Motor Trend at the unveiling of the 2021 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, General Motors North America president, Barry Engle, revealed that “the first year is sold out for 2020”, adding that 40,000 units were allocated in the United States for the year. It remains to be seen how many Corvettes have been sold in other markets such as Canada.

Unfortunately for those that have purchased a new Corvette, they will have to wait a little longer than initially expected to take delivery due to the UAW strikes through the second half of September and most of October. In late November, Chevrolet spokesman Christopher Bonelli told Carscoops that production will commence in February 2020 at GM’s Bowling Green Assembly Plant.

Pricing for the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray currently starts at $59,995, and we know that the car will be hit with a price jump for the 2021 model year. There’s no doubt that the attractively low starting price has appealed to many consumers, although we suspect that the vast majority of C8’s that have been ordered have been specced up to well over $60k. Once deliveries do start early next year, it’ll be interesting to see what options are the most common and which colors customers like the most.
