The C8 Chevrolet Corvette has been way more a success than anyone could have ever imagined. Corvettes are being sold for 20 and 30 thousand over their MSRP. It is unbelievable. Here at Poage Chevrolet, we will never sell a Corvette for over MSRP. But back to the Corvette news.
This week Chevrolet announced that they are going to be releasing a hybrid version of the C8 Corvette. Mark Reuss said that it will be coming out sometime in 2023. If it is going to be coming out in 2023, that means they already have some produced and are just trying to figure out the kinks. We believe the only reason a hybrid/ electric version of the Corvette is even coming out is because of the new regulations that have to do with a vehicles gas mileage. The new regulations say that every new vehicle produced must get a certain amount of MPG to be within those regulations. Clearly the engine that is in the C8 Corvette would not comply with those regulations so they have to make an electric/ hybrid. Curious if eventually they go to a completely electric Corvette.
It will be very interesting to see what the reception is like for the Electric Corvette. There will probably be some people who really like it and some who are on the opposite end of the spectrum.
