With aggressive lines and sultry mid-engine proportions, the Chevrolet Corvette C8 is definitely a head-turner. Now, new information on the upcoming 2021 Corvette Stingray has come to light that suggests customers will have the option to restyle the sports car with even more performance flavor.
According to recent reports, a copy of the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Order Guide summary leaked online, providing a breakdown of changes expected for the new Vette’s next model year. As we covered previously, some of those changes include new exterior colors and new racing stripe options.
The leaked order guide also mentions a “‘Stingray R’ theme graphics and wheel cap” package, suggesting that General Motors may offer a unique special edition or aesthetics upgrade that mirrors the Corvette C8.R race car. Such a package would fall in line with the Corvette Z06 C7.R Edition offered with the previous-generation model.
As we’ve seen before, the C8.R is covered in Silver Flare paint and comes with yellow accents, yellow racing stripes, and red sideview mirrors. The large rear spoiler also gets red end plates, while a graphic which reads “C8.R” is applied just ahead of the rear wheels. Indeed, this definitely looks like something we could also see added to the production 2021 Corvette Stingray with a new package.
What’s more, leaked order guide also mentions a “C8R indoor Rendered Car Cover,” suggesting the upcoming 2021 Corvette Stingray will be offered with a car cover that makes the vehicle look like the race-spec version while parked. It’s a nice extra for those fans of the Corvette Racing team that want to go whole hog with their new C8. To note, the Premium Indoor Car Cover with Fully Rendered Corvette C7.R offered with the previous-generation Corvette is offered as a genuine Chevrolet accessory for $1,195.
Would a new C8.R-inspired graphics package for the 2021 Corvette Stingray look good on the new Vette?

I love this C8.R.
If the next C8 Z06 looks and sounds like this, im going to have serious problem deciding between this and the CT5 V++++ Blackwing!
This reminds me of the screaming chicken on the hood of Firebirds as it was killed off for a reason as the car just didn’t need it and the situation is the same here.. the decals don’t make the car faster and simply adds cost.
Sorry, not a fan of the silver C8-R. I like the yellow, instead.
Probably an option to have a grey dual curl stripe on the roof to match the receding grey hairline of half the Vette buyers….🙃
Wow it’s like we’re trying be Ferrari now with the graphics option
Great idea for the up and coming ZO6. Look at what the Gulf GT Ford turned into.
The car to have when they win LaMans. Very cool.
I’m sure there will be some takers and would appeal to the younger demographic that Chevy is targeting. I’d opt out of the yellow stuff but may go for the red rear view mirrors and red calipers combination. What I really want to know is if this silver color is the replacement for Blade Silver. Oh yeah, I want a Michelin Man graphic on my car.
I think that’s a really cool idea, and I’m glad to know it’s legit.
Sorry, not a fan of the silver C8-R. I like the yellow, instead.
I have an accelerate yellow convertible on order. I wonder what color the R decal package will be on that color since yellow won’t work?
They do have the yellow with silver trim race car also but it sounded like it is only offered in the silver/yellow trim livery.
Take your yellow car and have it done yourself. You will have the only one. Just a thought, stay safe.
Black with yellow stripes???????? Ya baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love that GM is offering this car anyway you want it. Porsche just offered a 50’s styled 911 Targa with racing decals to boot. Why Shouldn’t Corvette make the same offerings that Porsche and Ferrari offer?
Chevy is now delaying the start of the convertible assembly until the end August so it will be fall before I get it and I’d add the R series option but they won’t allow it unfortunately.
Well I too have ordered a vert, guess we will have the lowest number of verts made in history of car.
That’s very true. I have an accelerated yellow with a black top on order and only 3% of coupes are that color so I expect only a handful of convertibles will be produced like it. I already have a red convertible sports car and have owned red corvette and Ferrari’s before and wanted to try something different.
If they offer a C8R graphics package and they do it right; I am all in. Not a big fan of the big wing in the back as it just looks too bolted on and not integrated – otherwise I love everything about the C8R! Maybe the C8R graphics are a little too bold for some, and scream someone young – but in this case, I really don’t care. I would order one in a heartbeat!
Hopefully the interior will have grey with yellow scheme
What other colors are there for the C8 R decal package?
