Corvette Museum Releases 2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Build Stats

Per the Corvette Museum the most popular build was the coupe and the most popular color of the C8 Corvette was Torch Red. That makes a lot of sense since that was the color of the C8 Corvette Unveil car in July 2019.

Also, although Rapid Blue is a favorite color of most C8 Corvette owners and in the C8 Corvette Forums dealers told people if they ordered a Rapid Blue C8 Corvette it could delay the order even before Covid or UAW strike hit and already delayed everything.

Here are the C8 Corvette build stats per Corvette Museum

Though production of the 2020 Corvette is expected to continue through early December, with order changes no longer being allowed the team at GM was able to go ahead and release the final stats.

  • Arctic White (15%)
  • Black (11.7%)
  • Sebring Orange (6.8%)
  • Elkhart Lake Blue (6.7%)
  • Rapid Blue (6%)
  • Ceramic Matrix Gray (5.97%)
  • Blade Silver (5.55%)
  • Shadow Gray (5.45%)
  • Long Beach Red (5.25%)
  • Accelerate Yellow (3.38%)
