About Chevrolet Corvette
The 2024 Chevy Corvette adds new active safety tech to its features list to bring it more in line with other Bow Tie brand models, including Automatic Emergency Braking and standard IntelliBeam automatic high-beam headlamps as well as Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning. The 2024 Corvette also gets new driver mode selection animations.
Additionally, the 2024 Corvette Stingray drops two alloy wheel choices, replacing them with new designs. Check out all the 2024 Corvette wheel options. Furthermore, the 2024 Corvette gets a new Edge Red painted rear fascia script LPO-level option.
At the beginning of the year, GM debuted the first-ever 2024 Chevy Corvette E-Ray, featuring the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT2 gasoline engine from the Stingray mated to an electric motor mounted up front. The E-Ray is also the first-ever production Corvette equipped with front-wheel drive, along with all-wheel-drive traction.
That combination also makes the E-Ray the fastest Corvette ever, with a 0-to-60 mph time of just 2.5 seconds, a tenth of a second quicker than the Z06.
The Corvette Z06 features the 5.5L V8 LT6 gasoline engine, a race-bred, naturally aspirated, dual-overhead cam, flat-plane-crank powerplant.
Production takes place exclusively at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky. The start of regular production (SORP) for the 2024 Corvette Stingray and 2024 Corvette Z06 began on September 11th. Meanwhile, production of the 2024 Corvette E-Ray has been pushed back to December 11th.

Almost the same my dad’s 69 Chevy, it was Frost Green I believe.
Agree. This is close to the 1968 Chevy color “Grecian Green Metallic”.
I’d like to see it in person but it looks great here. I love to have almost any car in a color like this. Don’t care what anybody else thinks.
I am the opposite. I would love to have this car in any color.
“Old farts” grew up with bright colors. It’s the young gamers, druggies and bangers who are into 50 shades of stupid grey
uhu if there is such demand for pink fluorescent yellow why arent they making it? cause boomers only yap but never put up.
they paint what people want. and 50 shades of gray and white and black is perfect.
Great colors for low IQ gamers and weed heads.
Hard pass.
It’s a very un-Corvettish color, to put it politely. And why is it called Cacti Green and not Cactus Green? Nobody has ever offered cars in Cherries Red, Oceans Blue, or Chestnuts Brown. Makes no sense.
Must be some GenZ b.s.
I have it on my Trax Activ and I am most decidedly NOT Gen Z.
I’m not sure about it on a Vette, but it’s a nice color, better than the boring AF sea of grays, whites, silvers and black that dominate the American car market. I chose it because it’s different and easy to spot in the parking lot.
Ford offered chestnut brown in the early sixties .
Yes, but not ChestnutS brown.
Not Chestnuts Brown though.
Well, other carmakers have a similar color because it has proved popular. Ford calls their version Cactus Gray, Toyota’s is Lunar Rock, and Hyundai’s is called Mirage Green. I am sure Chevy wouldn’t want to be too close to Ford in naming their colors.
I just thought of something as I typed this. the 2023 Ford Escape base model is called “Active”, LOL.
You mean a pastel green…. Oh, I can’t wait to see that… What kind of Man would order a Covette in that color? Now, Lime Rock green is a color! British Racing green is a color! You can definitely tell a woman is running the paint color show.
What kind of man would order a Corvette in this color? Probably a man that doesn’t allow himself to be defined by a color or care what mouth-breathers may think about a choice that doesn’t affect them. Sigh. So virility comes down to the color of the car? It’s a color, nothing more.
I can’t decide. Corvette or Trax Active in Cacti Green. LOL.
Cacti green, more like cacyuck green!!!!Go back and bring back the beautiful darker greens, of the past Corvettes.Also I don’t know what this fascination is with GREY!!!IT ALWAYS LOOKS DIRT, and not a sportscar color.Also if a car has beautiful lines, like the C8, black color hides them.Also bring back true yellow, not one with a green tint in it.Make mine Red Mist metallic and natural interior with chrome wheels!
This is close to the one-year-only Mosport green that the 1966 Corvette offered, I wonder why it only lasted one year, now we know why.
It’s an “army green” variation to psychologically prepare us for war in 2024. We all know it’s coming!
You should sit down, you’re not funny enough to try stand-up comedy just yet.
My daughter ordered a Trax Activ in this color first part of July. Came in last Monday. She likes it. So do I. Wouldn’t mind having one myself. Very impressed with it.
GM, just because a color works one one or a few models doesn’t mean that it’ll work on all. This doesn’t look so appealing on the Vette but does on the smaller CUVs. On the other hand, Riptide Blue looks fine on the Vette but not on any other vehicle I’ve seen. It’s too bright for others. Same with Fountain Blue.
I got to see a Cacti Green Z06 in person at the auto show this weekend and it actually looks really good.
Just went to the Seattle Auto Show over the weekend and they had a Cacti Green convertible Z06 there and damn it looks hot in person. That’s pretty much the GM rule… photos never do them justice.
🤮🤮🤮
Why the pastel colors? Can’t you get away from th girly colors? If you’re going to FINALLY add a green go with the 72 Chevy Nova Sequoia Green. Now that was a great color!!!
Is it girly on a Tacoma TRD? Is it girly on a Bronco Raptor? They both have a similar hue available and neither one of those can be considered “girly” (whatever that means). Why must we associate color with masculinity/femininity? They’re just colors.
A Toyota TURD is “girly”, to use your expression.
Nonsense.
In 1966 the Corvette had a similar color, it was called Mosport Green. So Cacti Green definitely isn’t Gen Z
