New features, colors, and other options are all on
tap for the 2021 edition of the C8, which excitedly begins production later
this year. The two new colors are Red Mist Tintcoat and Silver Flare Metallic,
and there's also a new grey and yellow interior color scheme as well as new
stripe designs and colors. Now coming as standard are Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto capabilities, and the digital gauge cluster now features four new display
options such as a track driving tachometer. You also receive as standard GM's
“Buckle to Drive” feature, which requires the driver to buckle their seatbelt
before the car can be shifted out of park.
When it comes to a car as ferocious and groundbreaking
as the new Corvette, aficionados are quick to ask what is going to happen in
the performance department. The 6.2-liter V8 engine and 8-speed dual-clutch
automatic transmission remain unchanged, but the 2021 Corvette will now offer
the standalone option of magnetorheological dampers. This means you now have
your choice of suspension setup even if you don't spring for the Z51
performance package. Orders are open now, and both models are expected to roll
onto lots near the end of the year.
A visible carbon fiber finish for the high-wing
and the door intake trim will be available for the 2021 Corvette, along with
numerous body stripes boasting a large color selection. All-weather floor
liners are also listed as present on the new model, along with a cool car cover
depicting the C8.R Race Car. Other definite news is that there WILL be a
convertible C8 that won't see production until later this summer.
We took note that Jet Black has by far been the
most requested interior scheme, and have
simply enjoyed every little last detail and
glowing review about the coming of the C8 this year. We invite you to hop online or come visit us here
at Jim Butler to figure out which vehicle is best for you, as back-to-school season is coming,
and the festive activities of fall are around the corner!
