The prices for American Chevrolet Corvette supercars are somewhat shocking. The most inexpensive car of this model will cost 4 million rubles with a small tail.
And even after information appeared in the media that the cheapest Chevrolet Corvette supercar will cost 4,100,000 rubles, the date of these cars' arrival on the Russian markets remains a mystery. However, they say that the first orders for these cars will be carried out even before the summer.
A small excursion into the past of the Corvette
Back in the 53rd year of the last century, General Motors presented its first sports coupe, the Chevrolet Corvette, to the judgment of motorists. Not only was this version of the car the first for this brand, such sports cars did not exist before the Corvette on the entire American continent. In addition, the developers of the manufacturing company have tried their best and have implemented a lot of innovative solutions in this model. That is why the Chevrolet Corvette has become quite popular. It should be noted that even after 60 years, this model continues to be in demand.
Of course, modern sports cars are completely different from their 60-year-old predecessors, as 7 generations have changed during this time. So many things were not used in their production. They also used materials that even shocked car owners. For example, the body is made of fiberglass, and the hood and springs are made of carbon. Corvette generations changed, and General Motors continued to experiment and improve its supercars.
A big mistake of the automaker was to introduce a 150-horsepower engine into the 1st generation sports coupe, which was frankly not enough for a car of this class. Moreover, he worked in tandem with a 2-band automatic machine. Therefore, Zora Duntov urgently eliminated this shortcoming and the next model Corvette Z06 was equipped with a more powerful engine. Subsequent generations of sports cars became more and more powerful. The 3rd and 4th generation Corvettes are remembered for all the appearance of the removable top.

The Corvette C7 has been completely redesigned. In addition, its "filling" has been thoroughly revised. That is why this sports car has the prefix "Stingray" in its name. As the developers themselves say, this prefix is placed only in the names of the best models from the Corvette family. Of course, the giant design breakthrough that was expected from the new Corvettes did not happen, but a departure from the traditional sports cars of this brand took place. The Corvette Stingray does not have the usual round headlights and one-piece rear glass at the back. And now the body of this model has many cosmic facets. The rear view of the car also looks like from a science fiction movie.
With all this, the car has slightly decreased in weight. The new generation of Corvette has lost a total of 45 kilograms - its weight was 1562 kg. The manufacturer managed to achieve this result thanks to the spatial aluminum frame, as well as the use of carbon fiber and composite materials.
The mystery still remains
Now that the Russian price for Chevrolet Corvette sports cars has already been announced, it remains only to wait for the moment when these cars will appear on sale in our country.
