With the C8’s transition to a mid-engine format already greenlighted, GM’s engineering department got down to the business of coming up with an equally groundbreaking engine to power the Corvette’s incoming eighth iteration. The LT2, in its current state, is nothing short of immensely powerful, with 495 HP at 6450 RPM, and 470 lb-ft of torque at 5150 RPM.
Just 1,255 Corvettes were finished in Sebring Orange for the 2021 MY - making it a rarer color for future, would-be collectors.
The 2021 Corvette Stingray represents the sophomore model year of Chevrolet's beloved mid-engine sports car.  Arriving immediately on the tail of an abbreviated 2020 model year, the 2021 Corvette Stingray became one of the most sought-after sports cars of the year. Chevy added a number of new improvements, colors and options for the 2021 model year.
