Chevrolet stopped the Corvette assembly and announced the month of downtime

The company representative confirmed the Motor1.com portal that the production of relatives and convertibles was paused from February 24 to March 2, and the supercars will not be released from March 17 to 30 and from May 19 to 25. Thus, in the near future, the Chevrolet Corvette C8 will be only two months out of three on the conveyor. The official reason for downtime is the improvement of the project and updating production.

Typically, pauses in production are associated with changes: according to rumors, Chevrolet prepares Corvette interior restyling or adapts the assembly line to release the Grand Sport special version. However, this time stopping the conveyor against the backdrop of retirement of the chief engineer of the project and the dismissal of a product manager. Both have no successors.

According to the unofficial data, General Motors decided to pause conveyors to reduce the stocks of supercars and unload the salary statement. Some employees will be retired, but new ones will not have to be recruited. The initial plan of Chevrolet Corvette C8 meant that instead of Grand Sport there would be an e-ray hybrid, but usually to release special versions profitable, and it is difficult to resist this.

The deliveries of the fastest and most powerful version in the history of Chevrolet Corvette began in January. In the current generation, ZR1 develops 1079 horsepower, exchanges 96 km/h in 2.3 seconds, and costs only $ 173,300. Competitors are much more expensive, and often slower.
