Chevrolet Corvette

The 2022 Chevrolet Corvette has edged one step closer to Australia, with the right-hand drive version bound for our shores being officially unveiled in recent days.

30 March 2021: The iconic Chevrolet Corvette – the USA’s answer to Ferrari and Porsche supercars – will be priced between $145,000 and $175,000 plus on-road costs when it arrives in Australian showrooms at the end of this year. UPDATE, 9 June 2021: Pricing and specifications for the Carbon Edition have been announced, with order books now open. Click here to read the full story.

The iconic Chevrolet Corvette sports car could drop petrol V8 power sooner than initially expected. American publication Automobile Magazine reports Chevrolet will introduce an all-electric version of the Corvette in 2024, splitting two plug-in hybrid variants due in 2023 and 2025.

A set of worn-out car seats are up for sale in the United States for the steep sum of USD$90,000 (AUD$126,466) thanks to their title as "the first Corvette seats ever made". The seats were originally installed in the 1952 EX-52 Project Opel, or 'Cougar' – one of the first iterations of the Chevrolet Corvette as we know it today. The 'Cougar' was one of five pre-production Corvette prototypes to be built with tracking numbers between 852-856 – the Cougar was number 852.

US car giant General Motors will retain a presence in Australia with a range of specialist vehicles including the Chevrolet Silverado pick-up and Corvette sports-car from the US, Holden has confirmed today. The new General Motors Specialty Vehicles operation will be established by the end of this year, as the Holden brand is retired.
