New Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Has Almost Sold Out For 2020 Model Year

Chevrolet has revealed that the 2020 Corvette Stingray has almost been sold out for the 2020 model year.

While speaking at the public showcase of the new C8 Corvette during the Concours d’Elegance of America, GM design chief Michael Simcoe told crowds “I think the orders have already hit the first year of production numbers.”

Autoblog had the chance to pull aside Simcoe shortly after he made this statement and was told that while the Corvette hasn’t sold out quite yet for 2020, it will in the very near future.

“It’s nearly sold out. It’s so close that it’s bound to be sold out soon,” Simcoe said.

At this stage, it remains to be seen how many units of the new Corvette which Chevrolet intends on building next year. There will likely be a steady ramp-up in production meaning 2020 build figures won’t be as high as they will be in subsequent years.

One thing is clear and that is that those looking to place an order for the C8 Corvette will have to wait quite a while before taking delivery.

It’s hardly a surprise that Chevrolet has received a lot of Corvette orders in the week-and-a-half since its unveiling. Not only is the C8 Corvette the first mid-engined production car from Chevrolet but it is also powered by a potent 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engine, fitted with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, and will have a starting price at under $60,000. As Chevrolet slowly releases more details about the new ‘Vette, including detailed pricing figures and performance specifications, order numbers will inevitably increase.
