My first stint behind the wheel of the new Corvette, the new mid-engine C8 that is, was for a few days last fall at my Chicago home. I recently had another drive experience.
Although it’s winter I’ve been spending time in the more moderate climate of coastal Southeastern U.S. where weather conditions make for good Corvette driving. This time around I drove a 2021 model. Specifically, a coupe with 2LT trim and the optional Z51 Performance Package.
The Stingray has received some changes in the way of features and colors for 2021. On the performance side, Magnetic Ride Control is now available without the Z51 package. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
What Is New In 2021 C8 Mid-Engine Corvette
The Chevrolet Corvette C8 has been the subject of much ink since it was launched, especially since its engine is now placed in the rear center position. Soon we may see the introduction of the E-Ray version, which is expected to be hybrid and to replace the Corvette Grand Sport. But today we are going to look at what s new in 2021 Corvette and particularly at its Stingray Coupe 2LT with the Z51 performance package.

The 2021 Corvette Stingray comes in three main trims: 1LT, 2LT and 3LT. Each of these three trims have both the Couple and Convertible versions. Options also include the Z51 Performance Package, as well as Front LIFT Adjustable Height Memory and Z51 Performance Suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control.

Introduced for the 2020 model year, the mid-engined Corvette Stingray Coupe and Convertible lost and gained two colors for the 2021 model year. These are Blade Silver Metallic and Long Beach Red Metallic, which were replaced by Silver Flare Metallic and Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat. 16 photos
According to Corvette Blogger, the color palette will change once again for 2022 with the discontinuation of three finishes. Sebring Orange, Shadow Gray, and Zeus Bronze are the culprits, but fret not because
“unnamed replacements” are in the pipeline according to the cited publication.
Sebring Orange finished the 2020 model year in fourth place with 1,377 cars to its name, representing 6.8 percent of total orders. Shadow Gray ranked ninth with 1,111 examples of the breed, and Zeus Bronze was at the very bottom of the list with 548 units or 2.69 percent of the total volume.
