DETROIT: General Motors on Tuesday revved up the drive to expand its Corvette sports car brand globally, with a roar from a 670-horsepower, eight-cylinder combustion motor, challenging the likes of Ferrari NV, Porsche and McLaren.
Corvettes will now come with steering wheels on the right side, for drivers in the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and Japan.The Bowling Green, Kentucky, factory that assembles Corvettes can build more than 40,000 cars a year, but has been hampered by the pandemic and supply chain disruptions, said Steve Majoros, vice president for marketing at GM's Chevrolet division which makes the Corvette.
The latest-generation Corvette has transformed into a mid-engined sports car that looks and runs more like a Ferrari supercar. GM has not disclosed pricing for the latest Z06, which will go into production next summer. The current Corvette starts at just under US$61,000, and past Z06 models have been priced about US$25,000 above the least expensive model.
