2015 Corvette Production Ends, Final Tally Over 34,000 Sold

Corvette-Assembly-Plant-C7-1

With fall in full swing, many automakers are readying their factories to begin producing 2016 models as the final 2015 models roll off of assembly lines. In certain cases, like the 2016 Chevy Camaro, this means shifting production to a new facility in order to build the all-new Camaro. In the case of the Chevy Corvette though, the switch from 2015 to 2016 model years only means a few small changes and a final tally for the second year of modern Stingray production.

corvette-production-4Torque News reports that with 2015 Corvette production ending, total sales of the Chevy supercar have reached 34,240 units, a small-but-expected downturn from the 37,288 2014 Corvettes GM sold for the first year of the all-new C7.

While numbers might be down though, transaction prices are almost certainly up, as the 2015 Corvette debuted new options and models, including the supercharged 640 horsepower Z06. GM built and sold 8,653 Corvettes for the 2015 model year, with almost 7,000 of those being coupes and almost exactly half of buyers opting for a manual transmission over the automatic. Over the more than 25,000 “standard” Corvette Stingrays sold, 20,757 were coupes and 4,830 were convertible, and all told about 63 percent of Stingrays sold came with a manual transmission.

Arctic White, Torch Red, Black, and Shark Grey remain the top four color choices for the 2015 Corvette, and 53 percent of buyers opted for the Z51 Performance Package. Just 29 percent of buyers wanted the MagnaRide suspension, and most buyers kept the standard GT seats rather than taking the optional competition seats.
