2021 Corvette debuts, with upgraded performance, paint colors and more

McLarty Daniel Chevrolet is your Northwest Arkansas Superstore, so it’s no wonder we’re crazy for the all-new C8 Corvette around here. The first run of 2020 C8 Corvettes sold out before the first one even rolled off the assembly line in Bowling Green, Kentucky, but if you missed out the first year, good news! Chevrolet recently announced full details on the 2021 Corvette Stingray, and it’s gonna be even better than the debut C8, with performance upgrades, exclusive colors and graphic packages, and even more technology to turn every drive into a thrill ride. So read on for what we know about the 2021 Corvette Stingray. Ready to get on the waiting list? Give us a call today at McLarty Daniel Chevrolet of Springdale!

Some of the best news about the 2021 Corvette is that it retains the crown as the most affordable mid-engine supercar in the world, keeping the sub-$60,000 price tag: just $59,995 for the coupe and $67,495 for the convertible. Considering there are top-tier half-ton pickup trucks that sell for well over $60 grand these days, that’s still a heck of a deal on the Great American Sports Car. For example: you could buy his-and-hers C8s for the price of an entry-level Ferrari that’s actually slower and waaaay more mechanically persnickety than the C8! Now that’s what we call value (and an anniversary present that will keep your spouse smiling for days)!

“Our mission was to develop a new sports car, combining the successful attributes of Corvette with the performance and driving experience of mid-engine supercars,” said Tadge Juechter, Corvette executive chief engineer. “We are thrilled with the enthusiasm the mid-engine Corvette brought following its launch and are keeping it fresh with new content for the 2021 model.”

2021 C8 New Features

Other new standard and available options on the 2021 C8 include:

• Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension available without springing for the Z51 performance package!
• Standard Wireless Apple CarPlay/Wireless Android Auto
• The eye-searing Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat exterior color
• Silver Flare Metallic exterior color
• A stunning new Sky Cool Gray and Yellow Strike interior color
• New Full Length Dual Racing Stripes in Blue, Orange, Red and Yellow
• Hood-stinger Stripes in Carbon Flash/Edge Red, Carbon Flash/Edge Yellow and Carbon Flash/Midnight Silver
• Driver mode on-screen visualization
• A new digital track tachometer
• Standard Buckle To Drive, a safety technology that, when activated, prevents the vehicle from shifting out of park if the driver’s seat belt isn’t buckled.

So what stays from 2020 on the 2021 C8? Pretty much everything you lusted after in 2020, including the powerful 6.2-liter LT2 V8, the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission with manual and automatic modes, the drive mode selector that can optimize all systems for a variety of conditions including Tour, Sport, Track, and Weather. Also available is the Z51 Performance Package featuring upgraded brakes, a stiffer, track-ready suspension, a throatier exhaust, an exclusive rear spoiler and front splitter, heavy-duty cooling system and high performance tires. Another thing that remains the same: the C8’s drop-dead-gorgeous looks, which blew us all away when the model debuted.

We’ve never seen demand for a vehicle like we did with the 2020 C8 Stingray, and something tells us the 2021 model is going to be just as hot for drivers looking to get behind the wheel of the most affordable supercar on the planet.
