2023 Corvette Loses Morello Red Dipped Interior

The 2023 Corvette lineup will do away with the Morello Red Dipped interior color option, GM Authority can confirm.

The Morello Red Dipped interior color option for the C8 Corvette Stingray was available as a no-cost option on the 3LT trim level only and could be paired with either the GT2 or Competition bucket seats. It could be ordered with the following exterior colors (relevant paint code listed in parentheses):

  • Arctic White (G8G)
  • Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic (G9F)
  • Hypersonic Gray Metallic (GA7)
  • Black (GBA)
  • Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat (GPH)
  • Silver Flare Metallic (GSJ)

While this interior color was a no-cost option with the above-listed exterior colors, it could also be matched to the rest of the C8 Corvette color palette by paying a $590 Color Combination Override charge (RPO code D30). These include the following exterior colors:

  • Caffeine Metallic (G48)
  • Amplify Orange Tintcoat (GC5)
  • Accelerate Yellow Metallic (GD0)
  • Torch Red (GKZ)
  • Rapid Blue (GMO)
  • Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic (GS7)

This interior color option will be indirectly replaced by the Adrenaline Red Dipped interior color. This is a similar interior upholstery option in that it also applies red leather upholstery and carpeting to virtually every interior surface in the vehicle, however Adrenaline Red is a lighter hue than Morello Red.

The 2023 Corvette will also drop the Sky Cool Gray/Strike Yellow interior color combination from its order books, as GM Authority reported previously.

Production of the 2023 Corvette, including the standard Stingray and the high-performance Z06, is scheduled to begin on Monday, May 9th, 2022. Production will once again take place at the GM Bowling Green plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It’s currently unclear if this May 9th production start date will include the 2023 Corvette Z06, or if General Motors will begin with production of the 2023 Corvette Stingray instead. Prices start at $63,195 including a $1,295 destination/freight charge for the base 1LT trim level.

  2. Very big mistake Morello red drip is probably one of the nicest interiors that Corvette had your really had to see the color in person to appreciate it’s just ,so tastefull and elegant looking sorry to say it go but I’m sure glad I got mine
    The thing you have to remember is you spend more time in your car looking at the interior then you do the exterior

    1. Congratulation !
      That is the only color I like but they discontinue
      I order my car since 8/2021 and is still waiting .
      Now I do not know what interior color going to be for my exterior ( Red mist )
      I searched used car for the above combination and they want it to much ( 2022 3LT with 900 miles for $116,5K )
      Please GM bring back the Morrell red dip .

  3. I wish they offered Morello seats with a black interior. Morello dipped was a little too much red. I would be a buyer with just the seats and some select trim pieces available on a 2LT when my 2023 allocation comes up. Still sad to see it go.

  4. I have it in my 2020 and will miss it in my 2023. A classy tone of red.

  5. That dark red was a possibility for me, now it will have to be a black interior!!!

  6. No Shadow grey exterior, and no Morrello red interior. This was a beautiful combo. Some people just don’t understand a classy combo, so they get rid of it.

  7. When will they get rid of the stupid center button console? Thought they were going to change in 2023. Now it looks like it will still be in 2023’s.

    1. I really like the center button console on my ’21! Logically organized, the passenger doesn’t have to reach across the center of the car to adjust their controls and the buttons themselves are tactually differentiable; a little practice and you can adjust the temp and vent controls without looking down.

      I don’t see anywhere else to put these controls other than having to use the menu system on the infotainment screen, which you can still use, but it is a lot more effort than just pushing a button.

  8. You are talking about releasing the 2023 Corvettes, what will happen to the Vette I ordered from Serra Whelan in October of 2022?
