General Motors' Chevrolet division has announced the price for the new rear-mid engine Corvette and it is a pleasant surprise for fans. Chevy says the new Corvette's base price is $59,995. Fans will want to take note that the price does include the destination fee. For a vehicle with such amazing capabilities, this price point is almost unprecedented. “Most people thought when we moved the Corvette to mid-engine it would no longer be attainable, but we knew we couldn’t mess with a winning formula and the 2020 Stingray proves it,” said Brian Sweeney, Chevrolet U.S. vice president.

 

What may be even more of a surprise, is that the highest-trim of the Corvette, the 3LT,  has a price tag of $72K.  You can view the features and content breakdown below. GNM isn't holding anything back it seems. The full pricing and order guide is now available at CHevrolet's website for future owners to check out. If shoppers still have questions, Chevy has set up a dedicated Chevrolet Corvette Concierge team that will provide 2020 Corvette customers with answers about the vehicle discovery, buying and ownership process. The team, which is based at General Motors headquarters in Detroit, is working 12-hour shifts each workday and can be reached by calling 866-424-3892. (Our apologies for the image quality)

A buddy of mine is ordering a 2LT and its every bit of $70K. $59,995 sounds nice but just adding the Z51 pkg bumps you up

Dang, that sucks. I was really excited to finally be able to afford a Corvette as a summer vehicle, was going to trade in my 2015 truck for one, but that is a huge jump from the base to the 3LT Z51. $75k usd is $100k CAD. The base model will sell here for $70,000 CAD, which is about $3k MSRP cheaper than my spec All Terrain/AT4. Too bad so sad for me, guess I will keep hunting for the elusive, perfect C6 Z06. Congrats to all the people that will be buying one of these, it's a huge piece of Corvette history.

He actually just got it priced out yesterday and it is around 80K. Seems most everything is a separate option. Mag ride isn’t in the suspension pkg but rather separate.

With how popular this new car is, anyone putting a order in at the dealer now won't see a car until next summer.

Just wait till they come out with the Z06 Version. Gonna be bad ass. I think it’s gonna be a twin turbo instead of a super charger.

I think it will be NA based on hearing the C8.R testing. The car will have to feature an engine derived from a production model to meet IMSA rules. The race car really sounds like a flat plane crank V8. I think you will see the Z06 debut with a flat plate NA engine in the neighborhood of 7L that will rev north of 7,000rpm, dubbed the LT7.

Id still buy the 2019 Z06 if i could afford it. Next year or two these are going to be all over the  since a lot more people can afford it at 60k

It's the Porsche pricing scheme, they have been doing it for years, GM started a few years ago but people are just now noticing

But isn't it was most of us are asking for?

Build it like you want it instead of having to buy a whole package for just one desired option?

 

so long

Come on now, with all the new tooling and r&d, these prices are great. What even compares in the auto world?

Let’s get some cars to the magazines and hear some performance numbers....
