Undefeated: Corvettes Trump Porsche Sales Despite Record Month

2014_Corvette_at_Detroit_Auto_ShowAs if we didn’t already know it, the C7 is the Corvette that’s going to be remembered years from now for how much it changed the game. The C5 exposed us to the LS engines, the C6 pushed us farther with the ZR1, but it’s the C7 that’s been able to upend one of its main competitors time and again.

Even at the best of times, Porsche can't touch the worst Corvette sales figures.

Even at the best of times, Porsche can’t touch the worst Corvette sales figures.

Back in September, we reported on how the Stingray was faring against the 911 and its vast array of sixteen submodels. The numbers told us that Chevrolet had managed to sell 17,744 cars thus far in 2014, while Porsche had only offloaded 5,169. For those of you keeping score at home, that’s less than a third of the amount of Corvettes.

And now, we’ve learned from TorqueNews.com that the C7 is indeed kicking the butt of its German rivals, and has been doing so continuously for the past several months. Even last month, November, when Porsche proudly boasted an all-time sales record–a total of 4,699 units, including SUVs like the Macan and Cayenne and cars like the Boxster and Cayman–it was weak sauce compared to the Corvette’s numbers.

The Porsche Cayenne (pictured) and Macan accounted for a big chunk of the 4,699 units total sold in November 2014.

Going strictly by apples to apples, the 918, 911, and Panamera together accounted for just 2,093 of that aforementioned total, which is the best Porsche has ever had. GM, on the other hand, sold 2,378 Corvettes, and that was one of the worst sales months the automaker has had on record for its flagship sports car.

So what’s the takeaway here? In short, even at their respective highest (Porsche) and lowest (Corvette) sales, the winner is still the C7. And you can take that to the bank.
