Chevrolet Corvette Z06 fans, rejoice. If you weren’t able to place an order for the new model before Chevy briefly shut the order books, the Bowtie has started taking requests for them once more. And also, the business simply provided the initial example to a client.
Chevy went with a “metered launch” of the 2023 Corvette Z06. This implied that it took an initial batch of orders in 2022 and afterwards stopped.
“We had actually previously shared with dealers as well as the public that we had actually accepted sufficient Z06 orders to load the number of Z06 production ports we had for calendar year 2022, so we stopped elevating dealership orders to approved orders that the plant would develop. Now we are claiming we’re mosting likely to accept even more dealer orders to continue filling up the pipeline of Z06 production via completion of version year 2023,” Chevy representative Trevor Thompkins told Motor1.com.
