Before long, the Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray will enter its third model year and for 2022, three new colors will be introduced. Recent reports from Corvette Blogger claimed that Chevrolet will discontinue three colors, namely Sebring Orange, Shadow Gray and Zeus Bronze, for the 2022MY. Orders for 2021 models finished in Sebring Orange and Zeus Bronze will close after April 29, while those for Shadow Gray will close after May 27th.
Chevrolet will replace these colors with
three new offerings. Information recently shared online by a Corvette dealer in
Europe and posted by the MidEngineCorvetteForum reveals that the 2022MY
Corvette will be offered in the new shades of Hypersonic Gray Metallic (code
GA7), Caffeine Brown Metallic (G48), and Amplify Orange Tinitcoat (GC5). The
dealer uses the new internal codes and names, but notes that the existing
colors are being used in the pictures as the new ones are not yet available.
It doesn’t come as much of a surprise that
the 2022 car is getting three new colors as the 2021 model was updated to
include Red Mist Metallic and Silver Flare Metallic, replacing the Long Beach
Red Metallic Tintcoat and Blade Silver Metallic of the 2020 car.
It remains to be seen what other
alterations Chevrolet will make to the 2022 model, but it’s possible some
subtle trim changes will be made in the interior. As for the future, a recent
report suggested that the 2023 Corvette may benefit from an interior refresh
that could see the deletion, or, more probably, redesign, of the car’s
controversial buttress of buttons.
