The 2016 model year for the C7 Corvette Stingray and Z06 has come to an end. Now, we soldier into 2017, where the 2017 C7 Corvette Grand Sport will likely receive quite a bit of love. But, first, we have the breakdown of the 2016 model year C7 Corvette.

The National Corvette Museum has compiled the information, and in total, 40,689 Corvettes were produced for 2016. Of those, 52.6 percent were Stingray coupes, while 28.4 percent were Z06 coupes. Convertibles saw lesser numbers; 12.4 percent were Stingray convertibles, while only 6.7 percent were Z06 convertibles.

For the coupe, the 2LT package was the most popular trim, but the 3LZ package rang in as most popular for the Z06.
