The Corvette
Carbon 65 limited edition model could turn into one of the first collectible
2018MY cars, set to release this summer.
The reason for this is simply because most US and
Canadian Chevrolet dealers will never even see the car, as GM announced it will
be building just 650 units - 500 for the US and 150 for export. According to
Autonews, that's less than one car per five dealers, seen as how Chevrolet has 3,000
US dealers and 414 in Canada.
The special edition's name refers to the 65th
anniversary of the Corvette and, of course, the fact that it gets a ton of
carbon fiber parts.
Setting the Carbon 65 Edition Vette apart from the
rest of the range is the carbon fiber exterior package, which includes the
spoilers, hood insert, quarter ducts, roof panels, and center wheel caps, plus
special door and fender graphics. It comes in a new Ceramic Matrix Gray
exterior, while getting special interior carbon fiber details such as the
steering wheel trim.
Available only on Z06 and Grand Sport models
(hardtop & convertibles), the Carbon 65 package costs US$ 15,000. This means
prices start at US$ 81,490 for the 2018 Grand Sport Carbon 65 hardtop, and will
climb to US$ 99,490 for the Z06 convertible.
