Inovev forecasts 40,000 new Chevrolet Corvettes per year
- Chevrolet (a division of the General-Motors group) has presented the new generation of the Corvette. This is the ninth generation of a sporty model with origins dating back to 1953.
- The ninth generation completely shatters the Corvette's former spirit, as it switches from a front engine to a middle-rear engine, such as that of the Honda NSX, Lamborghini, McLaren, or some of the Ferrari models.
- As a result, the model's silhouette changes completely, from a long hood with the cabin pushed back to a short hood with the cabin pushed forward.
- It remains to be seen whether potential customers will embrace this new architecture and new silhouette. GM took the risk of changing everything because the last generation of Corvette’s sales dropped from 46,000 units in 2014 to only 18,000 in 2018. The previous concept may have been completely worn out.
- However, the new Corvette still has its atmospheric 6.2 V8 engine, this time developing 495 hp. It is placed just behind the passenger compartment, for optimal weight distribution and better stability on the road.
- The manufacturer announces a competitive price for this ninth generation Corvette, nearly $60,000 ($4,000 more than its predecessor but $30,000 less than a Porsche 911). This model will continue to be produced at the Bowling Green, Kentucky site. Inovev expects 40,000 annual sales for the new Chevrolet Corvette.
