The online visualizer tool for the 2021 Corvette has officially gone live, giving prospective buyers an easy way to build their very own version of the mid-engine sports car and view the different options, wheels and colors that are available for it.
The 2021 Corvette remains mostly unchanged from the previous model year, but General Motors did make some minor alterations to the options list. The most notable changes are the two new exterior colors, Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat and Silver Flare Metallic, which replace Long Beach Red Metallic Tintcoat and Blade Silver Metallic on the vehicle’s color palette. Our example car pictured here is painted in the new Red Mist Metallic hue, which is a little bit lighter and more vibrant than Long Beach Red Metallic, but not nearly as bright as Torch Red.
The two new exterior colors are also joined by new colors for the full-length dual racing stripe package, which is now available in Blue, Orange, Red and Yellow in addition to the existing Carbon Flash Metallic, Midnight Gray and Sterling Silver colors. There’s also a new Stinger Stripe package for 2021, which adds two fang-like stripes to the hood that are available in Carbon Flash/Edge Red, Carbon Flash/Edge Yellow and Carbon Flash/Midnight Silver. Some options that had to be removed from the 2020 Corvette options list have also returned for 2021, such as the available High Wing Rear Spoiler and Ground Effects Package – both of which our example car is equipped with.
One other major change for the 2021 Corvette is the newfound availability of Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension (FE2) without the Z51 performance package. Previously, the only way to get Magnetic Ride Control was to opt for the Z51 package, but now Magnetic Selective Ride Control is available across the board on all trim levels. The sports car will continue to be offered as a Stingray with the naturally aspirated GM 6.2L V8 LT2 engine, eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and rear-wheel-drive.

I didn’t know that the C8 needed that spoiler until I saw it on there.
THIS VETTE IS STARTING TO GROW ON ME. AT FIRST, LOOKS TO MUCH LIKE FAERIE. IS IT JUST ME OR DO you HATE THE INTERIOR ??? POOR SET UP, TERRIBLE COLORS ??
Yo GM, how about letting me build my own 2020 Convertible that I have been
waiting for since summer 2019?
I have been waiting for my 2020 2LT Torch Red Corvette since August 13, 2019. I have been at the event status 3000 for approximately 6 months and still at 3000 as of September 15, 2020. What gives?
Me too, same color. Did you know where you stand on the dealer’s sold convertibles list?
What # are you?
The rear deck wing adds to the visual appeal of the 2021 Chevrolet C8 Corvette as it makes the car look sleeker.
How sad that after paying more than premium price there is no way to track the status of my corvette.
Since it is taking so long to get my Corvette C8 Convertible (ordered August 28th. 2019) will it make sense to cancel the order and place an order for the 2021?
I heard “They had several trailers full to deliver, and a Recall was issued and Every One had to be unloaded, covering stripped off, and wait for QC. BUMMER!
Chevrolet is treating Bowling Green like Area 51 but this is all normal to protect corporate secrets. Only official announcements can be given by the executives and marketing. We’ve have all been used to software releases or updates about fixes and known issues in announcements, it just doesn’t happen with the manufacturing of hard goods.
Other car and truck lines are starting to be able to trace your order which is cool and it reduces anxiety and thousands of phone calls to dealers on the status of your order. But a C8 is not a package you can follow like FedEx shipment.
With today’s technology, it would be nice that Chevrolet send updates with pictures from the assembly line of your C8 being manufactured. It could be a big customer relations program.
