Competitive Sales Comparison (USA)
The dominance of Chevy Corvette sales continues, though competitors made solid gains in Q2 2024 when ranked by sales volume. The Bow Tie brand’s mid-engine sports car has commanded the premium sports cars space for well over a dozen years now since we started tracking Chevy Corvette sales.
Chevy Corvette sales led with a two percent bump for 9,338 deliveries, followed by the Porsche’s two entries in second and third place. The 911 (née Carrera/Targa) saw a 53 percent jump in sales to 4,790 units, and the 718 (née Cayman/Boxster) posted a 14 percent upswing to 1,315 units. The two Mercedes-Benz models were next in fourth and fifth, with the AMG GT coupé posting a 47 percent swell to 1,046 units. The SL-Class roadster, also produced by the automaker’s AMG division, saw a 40 percent drop to 651 units. AMG’s all-new flagship is likely being impacted by a generational changeover. The Lexus LC placed sixth with a 21 percent uptick to 473 units. The Jaguar F-Type took seventh with a nine percent increase to 228 units, and the Audi A8 was eighth with a six percent decrease moving 85 units. Finally, the Nissan GT-R remained last with 74 deliveries – the exact same number as a year ago.

The premium sports car segment grew 13 percent to an even 18,000 units during Q2 2024, meaning that Chevy Corvette sales underperformed the segment average.
The GM Authority Take
While C8 Chevy Corvette sales continue to command the premium sports car space, accounting for over half of all sales in Q2 2024, most competitors posted bigger gains this time around. Notably, many of the segment contenders here cost significantly more than Chevy’s mid-engine sports car, at least when talking about starting price.
Speaking of competitors, a few more are dropping out. In March, the Audi R8 ceased production, and in June, the Jaguar F-Type did as well, while the Nissan GT-R is being discontinued.
Yet, recently, the first-ever 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS hybrid debuted as a Corvette E-Ray rival. Last fall, the Porsche 911 Dakar debuted as a new off-road, rally-inspired variant of the popular sports car, for which GM has no Corvette equivalent. The latter followed the reveal of the second-generation 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe and the 2024 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale supercar, both as Corvette rivals.
Even crosstown rival Ford has jumped into the mix, officially launching the Mustang GTD as a high-priced, track-focused Corvette rival. The street-legal, limited-edition variant of The Blue Oval’s pony car will be quite pricey, with the MSRP starting at $300K.
Meanwhile, “America’s sports car,” now in the C8’s fifth model year, continues expanding its lineup as well, with the latest being the much-anticipated Corvette ZR1. See below for details.

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. These include Automatic Emergency Braking, standard IntelliBeam automatic high-beam headlamps, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning.
The 2024 Corvette also gets new driver mode selection animations and a new infotainment system incorporating Google built-in features.
The 2024 Corvette Stingray also 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 as an LPO-level option.
The Stingray’s M1L transmission gets a case design update and, critically, will no longer require two extra quarts of transmission fluid for track use. It should be noted that GM does not condone tracking M1L-equipped vehicles without the Z51 package.
GM debuted the first-ever 2024 Chevy Corvette E-Ray in January 2023. It features the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT2 engine from the C8 Stingray mated to an electric motor mounted up front. The E-Ray is also the first-ever production Corvette equipped with front-wheel drive and all-wheel-drive traction.
That combination also makes the C8 E-Ray the quickest Corvette ever, with a 0-to-60 mph time of just 2.5 seconds, a tenth of a second quicker than the C8 Z06.
The Corvette Z06 features the 5.5L V8 LT6 gasoline engine, a race-bred, naturally aspirated, dual-overhead cam, flat-plane-crank powerplant.
2025 Chevy Corvette C8 ZR1 Convertible
The 2025 Chevy Corvette gets a new interior color, new Z06 wheels, and more, including three new paint colors, while dropping two wheels for the Z06.
Production of the 2025 Corvette is currently scheduled to start on September 9th.
Last month, GM announced, “The Unthinkable Has Arrived,” officially debuting the new 2025 Chevy Corvette ZR1, revealing the fastest and most powerful production Corvette ever made. Specs include four-digit engine output, a top speed of over 200 mph, and more than 1,200 pounds of downforce at speed.
New twin-turbocharged 5.5L V8 LT7 powering 2025 Chevy Corvette C8 ZR1
At the heart of this beast is the new twin-turbocharged 5.5L V8 LT7, a flat-plane crank DOHC powerplant rated at an astounding 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 pound-feet of torque at 6,000 rpm. Based on the 5.5 V8 LT6 engine found in the Z06, Chevy boasts that the LT7 is the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, able to motivate the Corvette ZR1 down the quarter mile in less than 10 seconds, with an estimated top speed of 215 mph.
Look for the new C8 Corvette ZR1, which will be available in both Coupe and Convertible body styles, to roll off the production line next year. Official pricing information is expected closer to the start of production.

I know now a Z06 , Eray, ZR1 are not in my future, but the 2021 I do have reminds me how awesome this car is.
A real pleasure in every way.
with the overflowing inventory at hand in dealerships discounts are starting to appear with as much as 6k off the MSRP..this alone will carve out more market share for the C8. Not a bad thing but didn’t see anything about pricing affecting market share in the article.
