    Chevrolet Corvette 2023

    Chevrolet Corvette 2023

    FROM
    $179,740

    The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette range of configurations is currently priced from $179,740.

    Our most recent review of the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette resulted in a score of 8 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Contributing Journalist David Morley had this to say at the time: Despite looking like rockets, Corvettes have traditionally been disappointing cars to drive. Early ones were crude and poorly built, later ones could be underpowered and underwhelming. So for the C8 version to be such a brilliant thing to drive is not just a surprise, but also an end to the tired old jokes about American cars. In fact, forget what you think you know on the subject, because this car rewrites the book.

    This is what David Morley liked most about this particular version of the Chevrolet Corvette: Stunning looks are proper supercar stuff, Fabulous performance and sound, Value-for-money cannot be beaten

    The Chevrolet Corvette is also known as Sting Ray (1963–1967), Stingray (1969–1976, 2014–present) in markets outside Australia.

    Chevrolet Corvette 2023 Accessories

    The lift-out roof panel gives the C8 one more party trick, and the 3LT trim level (as opposed to 2LT) of our test car added some improved interior trim elements and racier seats. But the 3LT upgrade isn't cheap. All Australian C8s also get the Z51 performance package with dual-mode exhaust, adjustable suspension, better brakes, an electronic differential, more cooling and even shorter gearing.

    Chevrolet Corvette 2023 Speed

    The claimed 0-100km/h sprint time of 2.9 seconds for the C8 is, we reckon, a bit optimistic. Nevertheless, it will still be under 3.5 seconds, which is serious acceleration.

    Shown above are speed details for the Chevrolet Corvette 2023.

    Chevrolet Corvette 2023 Interior

    Randomly placed small buttons and switches populate the interior. The drive-mode controller, too, has an odd action and wrinkling on the tiller's suede covering raises questions.

    Fuel consumption for the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette is dependent on the type of engine, transmission, or model chosen.

    Chevrolet Corvette 2023 FAQs

    Does the 2022 Chevrolet Corvette have any major problems?

    The C8 Corvette (current model) is a fabulous piece of kit. It gives more or less supercar performance and handling for less than half the price of many established supercars, which makes it one of the all-time great motoring bargains.

    As far as reliability goes, that will depend on the car’s history and whether it’s been maintained correctly. I’d also be a bit leery of car that has seen its share of track use (something the Corvette is otherwise very good at thanks to its performance envelope).

    The 6.2-litre engine is a very well known quantity and is generally regarded as bulletproof. The only real question mark lies over the dual-clutch transmission, and some owners overseas have reported electronic and oil leak problems with the Corvette’s transmission. It’s worth mentioning, though, that our conditions don’t always match those of other countries, but the small number of Australian-delivered C8 Corvettes makes it hard to know how widespread these problems are.

    Would I own one? In a heartbeat.

    Camaro or Corvette coming to Australia?

    We hear lots of speculation but nothing solid yet. If it happens it's most likely to be the Corvette, which will be easier to convert to right-hand drive. GM International boss Stefan Jacoby told CarsGuide's Joshua Dowling in January: "We will bring a true sports car to Australia for the brand Holden."

    Bright idea for spark plugs

    RUNNING a different fuel -- or even a cleaner through the engine regularly -- might well be a way of preventing the carbon build-up that leads to the problem with the plugs in the Ford V8. The problem is most people only realise there is a problem when the plugs break while being removed.
