The Chevrolet Corvette is also known as Sting Ray (1963–1967), Stingray (1969–1976, 2014–present) in markets outside Australia.
The Chevrolet Corvette 2024 prices range from $205,920 for the basic trim level Coupe Stingray 2LT to $454,630 for the top of the range Coupe Z06.
The 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is powered by the American brand's latest 'LT2' small-block V8 which is a 6.2-litre unit that makes 369kW and 637Nm. It’s paired to an eight-speed dual-clutch auto transmission.
GMSV offers four variants of the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette C8, coupe or convertible body styles and 2LT or 3LT trim lines.
The 'Z51 Performance Package' is standard fit on all Australian models, adding Brembo brakes, performance suspension, performance exhaust, performance rear axle ratio, electronic limited slip differential, unique front and rear splitters and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres.
Other standard equipment includes a head-up display, front lift kit with memory function, 14-speaker Bose sound system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, heated and ventilated seats and a performance data recorder.
Chevrolet claims a 0-100km/h time of just 2.9 seconds for the Corvette Stingray. Its top speed is a claimed 312km/h.
The interior of the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is focused on the driver. The design of the dashboard and the centre console wrap around the driver’s seat and position all the screens and switchgear towards the driver. Naturally this makes life for the passenger a bit more awkward, with some of the controls and buttons more difficult to access.

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.

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."

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.

The 2024 Chevrolet Corvette is strictly a two-seater. The seats are body-hugging sports type to keep you in place when you unleash its performance potential.
Chevrolet claims 357 litres of space but it's spread across two smaller luggage areas in the front and rear of the car. The rear boot space has room for the coupe's removable targa top.
The official claimed consumption is 13.5L/100km, which is thirsty for a regular car but not outrageous for a V8-powered sports car. If you can achieve that official figure you can expect to get more than 500km between trips to the petrol bowser, as the Corvette is fitted with a sizable 70-litre fuel tank.
