“I think the orders have already hit the first year of production
numbers,” he said. “It’s nearly sold out. It’s so close that it’s bound
to be sold out soon.”
Chevy started accepting orders for the new Corvette following the
car's July 18 reveal so the pace of sales has been nothing short of
dramatic, though it's easy to see why. The car offers performance and
technology surpassing many exotic models for a starting price of under $60,000.
Chevrolet spokesman Kevin Kelly told Motor Authority, “The
level of enthusiasm around the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has
surpassed all expectations. We have nothing to report in terms of
reservations or order numbers at this time.”
Chevy's last Corvette hit sales of just under 35,000 in the United States in its first year on the market.
Given Chevy's global ambitions with the new Corvette, sales could be substantially higher. In preparation for the car's arrival, Chevy expanded the Corvette plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and added a second shift.
