General Motors has already processed all 2020 Corvette orders, even though production won’t switch over to the 2021 model year until early December. That means we already know how many 2020 Corvette examples will be produced when all is said and done, along with where those vehicles were sold.
In total, the GM Bowling Green Assembly plant in Kentucky will produce 20,368 examples of the 2020 Corvette, including 16,787 coupes and 3,581 convertibles. Of those, 18,577 were delivered to customers in the United States – representing 91.2 percent of the entire production run. A further 1,490 units, equivalent to 7.3 percent of the total production run, were delivered in Canada, along with 162 in the Middle East and 139 in Mexico.
| Country | Coupes | Convertibles | Total | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 15,304 | 3,273 | 18,577 | 91.2% |
| Canada | 1,220 | 270 | 1,490 | 7.3% |
| Middle East | 125 | 37 | 162 | 0.8% |
| Mexico | 138 | 1 | 139 | 0.7% |
Based on these numbers, it would seem the 2020 Corvette will be pretty rare in Canada and even more uncommon in the Middle East and Mexico. Those who ordered 2020 Corvette Convertible models will find themselves in an even more exclusive group, however. Just 270 2020 Corvette Convertible models went to Canada, while 37 went to the Middle East and one to Mexico. You didn’t read that wrong – of the 126 million-plus people in Mexico, only one is currently in possession of a 2020 model-year Corvette Convertible.
Production of the 2021 Corvette and Corvette Convertible will begin on December 8th, 2020. The automaker had wanted to pivot to production of the 2021 model-year Vette earlier in the year, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed those plans. Chevy introduced a number of small changes to the car for the 2021 model year, including two new exterior colors, Red Mist Tintcoat Metallic and Silver Flare Metallic, and a new Strike Yellow/Sky Cool Gray interior color combination.
Some new markets will begin to receive the C8 Corvette in 2021 as well, including Japan and Australia.

That one convertible in Mexico though…
All of the 2020 corvettes should have been sold in the US. But, it’s all about the almighty dollar isn’t it GM?
Of course GM has to make money how do you expect them to stay in business
Congrats everyone here is now dumber having read your comment
You must not have been taught about capitalism in your school as a kid.
I need to write for you. I get hungry to know details of the manufacturing details. Is Bowling Green hording those details? How many Corvettes were manufactured that were not ordered emergency we ordered ours? How do they squeeze in more ordered cars when most waited well over a year to get thiers? Etc
I agree all the 2020 Corvettes should be sold in the USA first for all of those who ordered them.
Be nice, share, your the kid in the playground who wants all the marbles. I waited one year and five days for mine. Ser. Number 3328. Worth the wait. Having owned a 2010 and 2015 the 2020 is a complete success and much better in both performance, looks and quality. And yes we do get sunny and warm days in Canadian winters where you can take the C8 for a spin
I have had the recent opportunity to experience driving the new C8.Wow!! And GM now added some colors for 2021.So,I have one complaint GM.Why is no type of green offered? That I don’t get! We once had Fathom Green,Rally Green,and of course the 2014 C7 Limerock Green.We want Green!!$80.000 + car and NO GREEN!! Not Right GM!!! You can get F8 Green on a Challenger.Jeez!
