GM Shows New Image Of 2022 Corvette Low Profile Rear Spoiler

Back in April, General Motors announced it would introduce a new low profile rear spoiler for the 2022 Corvette Stingray and released a digital rendering showing the tiny lip spoiler affixed to a Torch Red model.

Now, with this week’s official unveiling of the 2022 Corvette, the automaker has released the first real-world image of the low profile rear spoiler. The image shows the spoiler installed on an Arctic White 2022 Corvette coupe and was the only photograph shared of the newly introduced component.

As we reported previously, the low-profile rear spoiler will carry RPO code TVS in the 2022 Corvette’s order book and will be available to order as a standalone option on the mid-engine sports car. Applying the low profile rear spoiler to the 2022 Corvette will also add a small Z51-style front splitter to the vehicle to achieve front/rear aero balance. The low profile rear spoiler option is available with or without the Z51 performance package and will replace the taller rear spoiler that usually comes standard with Z51-equipped vehicles.

Harlan Charles, marketing manager for the Chevy Camaro and Corvette programs, said previously that the low profile rear spoiler is for 2022 Corvette buyers who want something “in between a Z51 spoiler and no spoiler at all,” during the 2021 National Corvette Museum Bash in April. As of this writing, pricing for the low profile rear spoiler as a standalone option has not been announced.

In addition to the low profile rear spoiler, the 2022 Corvette also introduces three new exterior colors: Hypersonic Gray Metallic, Amplify Orange Tintcoat and Caffeine Metallic. A new GTLM IMSA Championship Edition package will also be available to order on the mid-engine sports car, which features exclusive equipment inspired by the championship-winning Corvette C8.R race car.

    1. I ordered a Z51 2LT 2020 I like the other spoiler ( the taller one) but I refused to give GM another grand for the spoiler
      I had enough extras as it was like $1000.0 for black wheels $600.0 for red calipers and so on in the case of the spoiler it should be your choice rather than take it or leave it, but I guess with the demand for the C8 they can do that just like H Ford the with the model T black ot nothing

  4. A very nice aero package addition for both the rear and front of a remarkable world class sports car!

  5. It seems there is a love-hate relationship about the C8 and not much can spoil it 😂 I like a spoiler a little bit taller but everyone has their preferences. The Corvette has one of the most mix and available options regardless of which trim level you’re at. The 1LT has a few color choice limits but allows more to be able to afford on. After that most RPO code are available on all three trim levels.

    1. A slight correction: What looks best, is what looks best to you. That’s called, “Choice.”

  9. Hello, I ordered a 2021 C8 Convertible without the Z51 package, so no spoiler. Can the low-profile spoiler be ordered and placed placed on a 2021 model?

    Thank you

  10. C8 is a great Corvette period but I could see where a split window could be utilized to pull some nostalgia back into the mix.
    Best car gm has today is the C8 by far.

    1. A split window will never happen. People hated trying to see through it. That’s why it was removed after only 1 year.

  11. I seriously like the so much better than the current Spoilers on offer. But GM dropped the ball as the C8 should have been made to come with or at least offer an Active rear wing. I still find it insane that an Audi TT offers one as standard but the C8 doesn’t even offer as an option. Only thing I ever disliked about the C8.
    In my humble opinion it deserved and still deserves to have an Active Rear wing.

  12. You know there is no correct answer to the spoiler question just choices.

    When you put the money down it is your choice that is right for you, that is what is great here.

  13. That spoiler makes it look even more like a Camaro. It just doesn’t look right on a Corvette after 2019.

  14. I would love to hear from people that have a deposit on a Z06 and where they are in line

  15. Mike,

    I have had a deposit on a Z06 for over a year and I am number 96 at the second largest Corvette dealer. They currently have over 500 deposits on the Z06 so I feel pretty good about my place in line. However I don’t believe I will see my car until the Spring of 2022 at the earliest. As now I have heard that the Z06 will be a 2023 model not a 2022. I sold my C6 last year and I am Corvette-less. My garage space is empty and waiting.
