New Lego Corvette Stingray Will Begin Shipping on March 1st

In case you can’t fit a new C8 into your budget right now, maybe you could consider Lego’s less-expensive take on the eighth-generation Corvette Stingray that will be arriving in homes in a couple of months.

While the new model is supposed to be a Stingray, some folks think it looks more like a Z06. Either choice is stretching it a bit to us as the Lego Technic Corvette Stingray, as it’s officially designated by the company, looks a bit unfinished in our eyes – more like one of those real cutaway deals designed to show the inner workings of the car.

Lego says you can pre-order the model now, for shipment starting March 1. It’ll also be usable in the game Asphalt Legends Unite, if you’re so inclined.

The kit features a whopping 732 pieces, including a “functional” V8 LT1 engine under the decklid, which is also “functional” and opens and closes to show off the 495-horsepower powerplant. Also included is a differential between the wheels, and the front wheels can even turn through the use of a knob on the roof that makes the model look more like a law enforcement car with a light on top.

It is also a big model, some 10.5 inches long, 5.5 inches wide, and 3.0 inches tall.

So, enthusiasts out there, does this kit interest you in the least?

  1. It looks like a 1979 post-apocalyptic and dystopian action film vehicle. Something madmax , (badge #MFP4073) would drive, staring a very young Mel Gibson?

    PS C8 are LT2 engine for the record, LOL.

    Thanks,

  2. As incorrectly described on Amazon:
    REALISTIC FEATURES – This Corvette model kit includes moving functions with steering, a moving 6-cylinder engine, differential and opening doors and hood

  3. What is Lego thinking? Of all the larger superstars they’ve released this has to be the ugliest. Very disappointing.

  4. One of the worst Lego car models to date, as a C8 owner, I find this poor effort sorely lacking. I’ve been waiting for a good technic representation of the newest Corvette, but this looks so grating to my eyes. Honestly, the Corvette challenge model featured in the CR8 and C2 set is a much nicer looking representation of the real thing, even if it’s a smaller scale. It’s almost like the Lego designer in charge of this project hated the stylized lines of the C8. Hard pass from me, and a big disappointment as a Lego and Corvette fan.
