CorvetteBlogger’s Top 10 Stories of 2023

It was another banner-waving year for the Chevrolet Corvette in 2023. The model officially turned 70 years old on January 17th and the biggest news of the calendar year was the introduction of the newest C8 Corvette – the 2024 Corvette E-Ray. The Corvette also faced its challenges with production constraints and supply chain issues being a constant thorn, but on the positive side, the 2023 Corvette set a record for C8 production, and it was one of the best-selling Corvettes ever with over 53K produced for the model year.

As we reflect on the year that has almost passed, our personal Top 5 Corvette storylines for the year are:

1. Reveal of the new 2024 Corvette E-Ray
2. 2023 Corvette Production Breaks Records (Still waiting for Chevy to drop the stats)
3. 2024 Corvettes Sent to Michigan for Updates/Repairs
4. Corvette Racing and the C8.R Ends Run with Win at Le Mans, WEC Championship
5. 2025 ZR1 Shows New Widebody Design at the Nurburgring
