Will the Chevrolet Corvette 2021 cost more than $ 60,000?

When Chevrolet released all the price details for the new mid-engined Corvette C8, everyone was delighted to learn that the supercar was going to start at $ 59,995, including destination fees. Our team has gone line by line the prices and options of the new Corvette, the No. 20 thick of our podcast series, and concluded that the new Corvette C8 was perhaps the best performance offering we have never seen in the last decade or even this century. . Apparently, the situation will change dramatically after the first model year, which basically means that the vehicle will be more expensive by 2021.

"A well-placed source" said MotorTrend the Corvette C8 will lose its $ 60,000 under-price sticker for the 2021 model year, as was the case for the C7 in 2013 and 2014. At this point, we do not have any specific information on the prices for the 2021 model year, but it 's probably safe to say that the price of entry will increase by at least $ 1500. Although this is a bit disappointing, it will probably not spoil the car's performance status.

In fact, such a decision is not a big surprise. As MotorTrend notes that, by announcing a starting price of less than $ 60,000, Chevrolet did an excellent job of promoting the new Corvette, which was thoroughly engineered and eventually moved to a mid-engine configuration. The price is lower than everyone expected, which generated a lot of buzz and caught everyone's attention. After all, it's only $ 3,000 more than the current car.

It will be very interesting to see what the price increase will bring and we are waiting for some changes in the new Corvette range. Some additional trim levels will likely be introduced, while some of the existing levels may receive additional equipment. Of course, you can still get a Corvette C7 for less if you prefer the engine layout at the front of the old school.
