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 started on December 11th.

Can someone PLEASE pass a law that stipulates only TWO words can be used for a vehicle color? One an actual color, and a second which is the descriptor.
GM seems to be very out of control on color names for their vehicles nowadays.
Being the owner of a 2021 Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic C8 convertible, it has gotten tiresome answering the “What color is that?” question asked by most everyone who sees it for the first time. My first response is “too many words” before actually rattling off “Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic”.
Next thing you know, GM will start using “The…” before color names. Like “The Ohio State University” supposedly to just make sure people do not think there is ANOTHER Ohio State University somewhere! Next up: “The Metallic Tintcoat Crystal Clear Aqua Caribbean Snorkeling Waters” maybe?
Waiting for …

Sure wish those new safety features could be over the air updates especially for the C8 2LT HTC or above. I’ve been asking for thise safety features since before I ordered my 2022 2LT HTC. And did get negative feedback from Individuals who feel those safety features aren’t needed for anybody who owns a Corvette! I can attest to the usefulness of these safety features from having them in my other vehicles which have saved me from freeway accidents in the past. Tomg
Colors like Emerald Green, Forest Green or any other bright colors would really help sales. The tired old colors should be put to bed. Buyers want vivid paint.
I guess you could order the white, the orange, the yellow or the red. All seem pretty bright to me. I have the CMG on my C7 and I’d say it is pretty bright as well, just doesn’t scream.
Beautiful Car!!
Always adding something NEW and can’t deliver the C8’s they have orders for.
Have a new 2024 C8 ZO6 with this Color. Not a Fan of the Name, but the color!, amaaaaazing. In the blue family, Electron blue was always my favorite, but this color is just as deep.
