Where to Buy a Corvette C8 in China?
2 Answers
You can place an order and purchase it at Chevrolet's 4S dealerships, but generally, this model is not available in stock. Here is some relevant information: Chevrolet Corvette: The Chevrolet Corvette is an American national treasure-level supercar and the highest-end super muscle car brand under General Motors. This series was born in 1953 and has evolved into 8 generations, with the latest being the 2020 C8 model. The Eighth Generation Corvette: In 2019, the Corvette C8 was released. The Corvette C8 is the first Corvette in history to adopt a mid-engine layout. The new model abandons the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive powertrain layout of previous generations and fully transitions to mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive. The logo on the front of the car has also been changed accordingly, with a smaller angle in the middle.
As a frequent visitor to auto shows, the Corvette C8 is primarily purchased through parallel import dealers in China. You can find specialized dealers in auto trading markets in Shanghai, Beijing, or Guangzhou. The price isn't cheap, starting at around 1.5 million RMB, including tariffs and fees. The mid-engine V8 design gives it a supercar feel, and the driving experience is exhilarating. However, be aware that since it's not officially imported, you need to check if the vehicle meets the China VI emission standards, or you might face registration issues. Aftermarket parts may rely on imports, so contact authorized GM service centers in advance to prepare. Test drive it before buying to feel the precision of the steering. The appeal of such a niche car lies in its ability to express individuality.
