Le kit aero ne sera pas livré sur les modèles 2020, le fournisseur ne peut pas fournir

If you explored Chevrolet's C8 Corvette configurator when it was first launched last year, you probably came across options for ground effects body kits, available in either carbon fiber or black painted form (shown optioned on the configurator screenshot above). The kits, which include a splitter and side skirts, were recently removed from the car's configurator without explanation.

A report from CorvetteBlogger.com prompted us to reach out to GM regarding the development. A representative told us it's removed the ground effects option kits from the C8 due to supplier constraint. CorvetteBlogger.com reports buyers who placed orders for cars with the kits have been notified that the option is being stripped from their configurations.

CorvetteBlogger.com also says current inventory at the Corvette plant means some early buyers will be getting their cars with the kits included—it's just that the supplier couldn't keep up with demand to fill every order. It sounds like a lot of Corvette buyers want those aero kits.

GM's representative told us the kits are dealer-installed accessories, meaning customers who receive cars without them can still order later and get them installed post-delivery. CorvetteBlogger suggests the kits won't return until at least the next model year.

The carbon-fiber version of the kit had a list price of $4850, making it the single most expensive option on the C8 Corvette, just $150 less than the Z51 performance package. The black painted version cost $3850. If you really need carbon fiber on your Corvette, don't worry—the carbon fiber targa roof piece, carbon fiber grille insert, and carbon fiber mirror caps are still available.


Le millesime 2021 commencera en septembre  
Mais le prix devrait augmenter

t’s a great day for those who have signed their names on the dotted line to buy a C8 as it appears production of the mid-engined Corvette has finally started. The eighth generation of Chevrolet’s popular sports car was originally scheduled to hit the assembly line towards the end of 2019, but the UAW strike took its toll and forced General Motors to push back production until February.

It looks like they’ve managed to get everything ready a few days sooner, with production at the Bowling Green, Kentucky factory now underway. The reveal comes to us from Chevy salesperson Mike Davenport through his YouTube channel called “Chevy Dude” where he regularly posts videos about everything interesting that’s going on related to the C8 and other models that have the bowtie emblem. He was the first to break the news about Chevy cutting back on dealer allocations for the Corvette’s 2020 model year, which was shortly confirmed to Motor1.com by a spokesperson.

It goes without saying Chevy Dude is talking about the production of customer cars, including his very own C8. Another tidbit revealed is about the cancellation of the optional exposed carbon fiber ground effects for the 2020MY due to supplier issues. If you have ordered the car already with this option, Chevy will have no other way but to delete it.

For those who haven’t pre-ordered the new Corvette and are interested in getting the 2020MY, it appears April is going to be the last month when dealers will be able to ask Chevy for cars. Interestingly, Chevy Dude also knows the production of the mid-engined sports car will transition to the 2021MY in September.


That effectively means the initial model year of the C8 will only be in production for about seven months. We also get to learn the first cars will hit dealers across the country around mid-February or closer to the end of the month.

As you might have heard already, the 2021MY is rumored to come with a price bump, but nothing is official at this point. All we have for the time being is a rumor originating from a “well-placed source” cited by Motor Trend who is saying the Corvette will lose the sub-$60,000 sticker. Chevy Dude doesn’t expect the price increase to be significant, based on his 20-year experience in selling cars and analyzing Corvette pricing changes from one model year to the next.

Motor1.com has reached out to Chevy for comment and will update the article if we get a response.

En gros pour faire simple..., "des fournisseurs" qui ne fournissent pas...!

Déjà, avant de fournir l aileron faudrait qu il nous fournisse la C8 Z51 en France.....

Merci pour la vidéo Pace78

C'est historique dans l'univers Corvette, la date du 03/02/2020 comme la 1ère sortie de chaîne est gravée à l'AR des Vettes (à partir de C8) pour toujours !

Le

Différente, mais pas mal quand même, avec un petit air de famille (comme une cousine un peu éloignée).

La dernière 7 et la première 8 ?

Super

Faudrait l'avant de la 7 et l'arrière de la 8....

A l’œil la 8 fait plus grosse, surtout de l'arrière.

La C7 est en version étroite 1872 mm vs 1958 pour une Z
La C8 est à 1934 mm vs 1994 ???? mm éventuellement pour une widebody

Extrapolation sur la Z  ??????

Air rides obligatoires.......

J'ai trouvé ça au hazard de la toile:

La production va bon train.

ouais, faudra faire sauter tous les ralentisseurs !

bernt a écrit:ouais, faudra faire sauter tous les ralentisseurs !

... et nettoyer les gravillons sur les routes...

La Z recevrait des roues carbone 20" x 10" et 21" x 13" soit des gommes de 295 et 355.

Le jour où il faudra changer les pneus c'est plus un bras où même les deux que ça va couter !
( preparez vous à y laisser votre femme, et si vous abimez les jantes, les gosses avec )

Et les monteurs de pneus ont du soucis à se faire, à part le concessionnaire Tourangeau pour ses clients, qui va s'y risquer ?

Ils s'adapteront comme au début des pneus taille basse .....

Vu comment ça rame depuis des années pour changer les runflat sur les C7 c'est pas gagné.

J'espère que c'est une fake news.
