2021 Corvette Production Volumes

The 2021 MY Corvette Year-End Production Numbers Revealed

Much like during its inaugural year, production of the 2021 Mid-Engine Corvette Stingray was cut short by General Motors. Production of the 2021 MY (model years) was paused in May and June, 2021, due in large part to an ongoing global shortage of semiconductor computer chips.  Because of this, some prospective buyers of the 2021 Stingray were left without a car, but promised instead that they’d be bumped to the front of the line in 2022.

“In order to maintain start of production for the 2022 model year Corvette Stingray in late Q3, and as a result of continued unplanned part shortages not related to the industry-wide semiconductor availability issues, General Motors has had to make an adjustment in the number of Corvette Stingrays available for the 2021 model year,” said Assistant Manager, Chevrolet Passenger Cars, Performance and Motorsports Communications at General Motors, Trevor Thompkins, in a statement.

“We are not planning on canceling any accepted 2021 model year Corvette Stingray sold orders (event code 3000 and above),” Thompkins added.  For anyone whose orders fell under event status 3000, Chevrolet required they place a new order with their dealer for the 2022 model year Stingray.  As before, the same production shortage issues continue at the time of this article’s publication.
