General Motors unveiled the refreshed 2026 Corvette early last month, showing off a major interior refresh highlighted by a new three-screen infotainment layout, revised controls, new interior colorways, and other custom options. The new interior layout will apply to the entirety of the C8 lineup, while specific trims will receive their own unique updates as well. Now, GM Authority has learned when the 2026 Corvette configurator will go live, enabling customers to spec the updated mid-engine sports car as they see fit.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the 2026 Corvette configurator will go live at Chevrolet’s website in August.
The configurator is expected to showcase the full breadth of updates applied across the C8 Corvette lineup, which is highlighted by a redesigned cabin centered around a new three-screen infotainment layout. Drivers are now greeted with a 14-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.7-inch center touchscreen, and a 6.6-inch auxiliary display mounted to the left of the steering wheel.
Exterior updates for the 2026 model year include the addition of two new paint colors, namely Roswell Green Metallic (paint code G4Z) and Blade Silver Metallic (paint code GKA). The C8 Corvette Stingray now will be equipped as standard with a new wheel design, namely the five-split-spoke Pearl Nickel forged aluminum wheels (19-inch front, 20-inch rear, RPO code GEB), replacing the previously standard 5-open-spoke Bright Silver-painted wheels (RPO code Q8P). The Carbon Flash finish for the same five-open-spoke design (RPO code Q8Q) is once again offered as optional.
The customization options continue inside with the first-ever asymmetrical interior colorway, namely Jet Black with Adrenaline Red. New options also include combinations such as Sky Cool and Medium Ash Gray with Habanero accents, Santorini Blue, Very Dark Atmosphere, and Ultimate Suede. Two colorways offered for the 2025 model year (Tension Blue/Twilight Blue Dipped and Artemis) have been discontinued for 2026.
For the track enthusiasts out there, the 2026 Corvette adds PTM Pro mode, enabling full deactivation of traction and stability controls, while the ZR1 variant is now available with the standalone ZTK Brake package, which equips the car with carbon ceramic rotors and high-performance calipers (10-piston front, six-piston rear).
All models in the C8 lineup ride on the GM Y2 platform, with assembly taking place at the Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.

Well, since 2026 production will start on August 4th. I pressumed the configurator will go live before the 4th
Something about that Roswell Green is just hitting right.
Green and brown are the colors of a tree; they never excited me on any vehicle, let alone a Corvette.
Orders begin 6/26. The configurator should be open by then, not August. 2026 changes are minimal, so it should be just a matter of a few tweaks to the 2025 configurator. How about the 2026 prices?
I just ordered a 2026 stingray off the build sheet using codes off the 2025 configurator. My dealer had only one allocation for a stingray and one for Eray.
OK, lil bro, why u tell us that info? Did I ask you?
