C8 Corvette Production Numbers (VIDEO, Convertibles Sky Rocket)

Check out this video from Cars, Costs, and Technology where he covers the C8 Corvette production numbers from 2020 and 2021 so far and compares them to the C7 Corvette production numbers.

As you will see thanks to the chip shortage, UAW strike, and Covid the C8 Corvette production numbers are down vs. C7 Corvette typical production.

  • 2021 there were 26,216 C8 Corvettes produced
  • 2020 there were 20,368 C8 Corvettes produced

The first year of the C7 Corvette in 2014 there were 37,288 C7 Corvettes produced which is only 9,000 units less then both 2020 and 2021 C8 Corvette production combined.

Also, another thing you will see in the video is that C8 Corvette Convertible skyrocketed especially in the 2021 model production year.

2022 Caffeine Brown “Chocolate C8 Corvette” IN PERSON! (VIDEO)

Check out this video walk around of the new Caffeine Brown C8 Corvette Color on the 2022 C8 Corvette.

This is the third and final new color for the 2022 C8 Corvettes. Here is more information on the amplify orange C8 Corvette and Hypersonic Gray C8 Corvette colors as well.

Hopefully, GM or Chevrolet will come out with better C8 Corvette colors for the C8 Z06 like an exotic or supercar Green or Purple color.

We are guessing the Caffeine Brown or better known as Hersey Chocolate and Meatloaf will be the first C8 Corvette color discontinued out of the 3 new colors like the Shadow Grey Metallic and Zeus Bronze was.

Amplify Orange C8 Corvette in Person FULL Walk Around Video

As we talked about before Chevy is coming out with three new colors for the 2022 C8 Corvette and beyond possibly if they don’t discontinue any of them like they did the shadow grey metallic and Zeus bronze.

We posted about the hypersonic gray in the c8.r edition that was seen at Corvettes at Carlisle in Pennsylvania. And here is another video of the Amplify Orange color on the C8 Corvette from Brink of Speed on YouTube.

Also shown the new lower profile Z51 lip duck bill spoiler that is closer to the trunk lid with very little space between the trunk and the spoiler.

In 2022, this is a C8 Corvette package that is called the C8R edition and as we covered before it’s mainly a graphics and sticker tribute to the C8.R race car. There is no engine improvement and still uses the same Tremac DCT in any other C8 Corvette.

Vossen Wheels Owner Spotlight of Gabe Florido Car Lifestyle Creator

In the past we have covered Vossen Forged Wheels and Vossen Wheels for the C8 Corvette and adding them as an aftermarket wheel which became a very popular choice once Gabe Florido from Car Lifestyle added them to his C8 Corvette.

They are one of the highest quality wheels along with brands like (HRE Wheels, BC Forged, Rohana Wheels, Ferrada Wheels, AG Wheels, Lite Speed Wheels a 2021 SEMA Winner) and provide hybrid forged design cues on some of their wheels in the less than $1k-2k a wheel range.

C8 Z06 Testing Continues at the NÜRBURGRING

Check out this very clear video of the C8 Z06 variations testing at the Nurburgring. You can really get a good look and hear the flat plane crank engine in this one.

We have a running list of other C8 Z06 Nurburgring Videos and C8 Z06 information in preparation of the C8 Z06 reveal on October, 26th of 2021.

The C8 Z06 is going to have new aero kit options including a split wing as well as new wheels and a center exhaust.

There are Chevy Dealerships with 900+ waiting lists and have already said they are going to mark up the C8 Z06. The C8 Z06 is sold out before it’s even revealed.

First Look at Corvettes of Carlisle & 2022 C8 Corvette C8R Edition

Check out this video from HorsePower Obsessed on YouTube has he shows what Corvettes of Carlisle looks like setting up the day before it starts on Thursday for the weekend.

2022 C8 Corvette C8.R edition FIRST LOOK, 3 new COLORS and MORE at Corvettes at Carlisle 2021!

C8 Z06 Sold Out Already!

Check out this video from DadBodSZN610 on YouTube has he been waiting for a base model C8 Corvette since February 2020!

He now called 15 of the top Chevy dealers that have the highest Corvette sales and some of the lists had 900 people (Macmulkin Chevrolet Cadillac). He even had Chevy Dealers saying it would be a 4 year wait! Also, they admitted there will a list drop off based on financial reasons etc..

He has a point though C8 Corvettes sold for 5k, 20k, 30k, and even STILL marked up $50k as we posted about an Arizona Chevy Dealer Gateway Chevrolet known for HUGE C8 Corvette mark ups as well as one of the Top Corvette dealers in sales of Corvettes Van Chevrolet marking up C8 Corvettes $20k!

Check out his video he has many valid points including C8 Corvette prices not dropping that much even with the C8 Z06 coming out.

We have also posted a C8 Z06 pricing mark up video by Speed Phenom where every Chevy Dealer in Los Angeles had C8 Z06 lists and they were marking them too!

It’s not going to even matter about the possible new C8 z06 colors we talked about people being able to choose when most people won’t be able to get one with a lot more limited production and waiting lists of hundreds of people at each Chevy Dealer in the country.

It’s going to be very interesting to see what Chevy reveals about the C8 Z06 on October 26th including pricing, production dates, and if they are going to control the allocation flow and mark ups better vs what happened with the C8 Stingray which was effected by a UAW strike, Covid, and supply chain issues.
