No surprises here.
The Chevrolet Corvette is entering the 2023 model year and the automaker released updated pricing details about the sports car’s range earlier this month. We’ll remind you what the prices are in a bit, but first, let’s talk about how many Corvettes the manufacturer produced for the 2022 model year.
The National Corvette Museum has the final production data for the 2022 Corvette and it shows a total of 25,831 cars were produced. Exactly 52.1 percent of those were coupes with the other 47.9 being from the convertible type. As you can see, there’s equal demand for both body styles of Chevy’s sports car.
