The 2024 Chevrolet Corvette is the latest chapter in the story of a supercar, marking the debut of the 670-horsepower Z06. 2023 Corvette pricing starts at $61,900.
Anyone with even a vague interest will know that this current version of the ’Vette has a mid-engine configuration, which is quite a departure for Chevrolet from the usual front-engine setup of every past Corvette.
An upcoming hybrid version with all-wheel drive and a fully electrified Corvette will make an even sharper break with the past. The Corvette EV will use GM’s Ultium electric-car platform which forms the basis of the Cadillac Lyriq SUV and the 1,000 horsepower GMC Hummer EV pickup.
As it stands, the mid-engine arrangement gives the Corvette its final set of supercar credentials, the ability to compete with exotic machines that are twice or sometimes three times as expensive. And 2023 marks the debut of the 670-horsepower Z06 model. If there’s anything faster on a track, it’s probably an esoteric open-wheeled single-seater like a Formula One car.
The trouble with an F1 racing machine - apart from the cost of a couple of million bucks or so - is that it can’t go for a road trip with a weekend’s worth of luggage, accommodate one’s significant other, play music, or provide daily thrills at a relatively affordable cost. The 2023 Corvette can.
2024 Chevrolet Corvette Pricing
Starting with the 2024 Corvette Stingray coupe in 1LT trim, the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $61,900, plus a destination charge. The convertible in the same trim is $69,400. It’s virtually $81K for a convertible in the top 3LT trim.
There are many options. The priciest is the Z51 performance package at $6,345, followed by the new-for-2023 70th Anniversary package costing $5,995. Buyers may also choose things like an adaptive suspension, ultra-sporty seats, and interior color schemes.
The 670-horsepower 2024 Z06 starts at $105,000. If you want a Z06 Convertible, it starts at $112,500. A Corvette Z06 Convertible with the 3LZ Package starts at $125,850.
Admittedly, spending $60K and up on a car can seem extravagant, but the Corvette is one of the more affordable supercars. Something like a McLaren GT costs at least $200K, as does the Lamborghini Huracán. The Jaguar F-Type is not mid-engine, but packs a supercharged V8 as standard and comes in at a slightly more reasonable $70K.
Or there are the Porsche 718 Cayman/Boxster sports cars, both starting in the low 60s. But the most powerful GT4 versions (and therefore the most expensive) “only” have 414 horsepower.
Before buying a new Corvette, check the KBB.com Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area paid for theirs. The Corvette achieves yet another impressive performance in terms of resale values.
Driving The 2024 Chevrolet Corvette
All those well-worn phrases like “America’s supercar” and “the performance machine that’s also a daily driver” can’t help but spring to mind because that’s exactly what the Chevrolet Corvette is. It’s a joy, a thrill, an experience to be savored, treasured, relished, and repeated.
It all starts with the 6.2-liter V8 propelling a lightweight (it’s predominantly a composite body on a metal frame) 2-seater car with 490 horsepower. By placing the engine just behind those seats and fitting a well-tuned suspension, the 2023 Corvette has the poise and reactions of the finest mid-engine supercars.
Fast, precise steering matches rapid acceleration, while a standard mechanical limited-slip differential contributes to traction. From the 2LT trim and up, the Corvette also comes with a performance data recorder.
It all gets turned up to 10 with the Z51 performance package. As well as an exhaust system that raises power by a fraction, this bundle brings a more track-focused suspension, stronger brakes, electronic limited-slip differential, high-performance tires, heavier-duty cooling, plus a Z51 front splitter and rear spoiler.
It all gets turned up past 11 with the new 2023 Z06. This is an even more trackable machine: more rubber, more downforce, more sportiness in the adaptive suspension, and more power from a special engine.
