* Chevrolet just released details about all of the 42,934 Corvettes it made for the 2024 model year.
* With that we now know what the most popular choices were and where the take rates were very low.
* One combination of trim and paint was so rare that less than 10 people requested it.
============================================================
Chevrolet has no qualms about building a lot of 2024 Corvettes and it just announced that it made 42,934 of them. That’s more Corvettes than Toyota Supras, Nissan Zs, and Lexus RCs combined. In fact, the most popular trims outsold those rival sports cars all on their own. Here’s a breakdown of every 2024 Chevrolet Corvette sold, including the rarest of them all.
Let’s kick things off with a breakdown of the three main trim levels available for the Corvette. They are the Stingray, the Z06, and the E-Ray. Of the trio, almost three-quarters (72 percent) sold for 2024 were of the Stingray variety. That makes sense considering that it’s several thousand dollars less than the base Z06.
Next up, the Z06 takes second place with exactly one-quarter of Corvette sales for 2024. Finally, the E-Ray made up just three percent of Corvette sales, with a total of 1,417 cars in that specific trim. Notably, all three trims are available as a coupe or convertible. The most popular was the Stingray coupe with 42.2 percent of the build population. In fact, across all three trim levels, coupes were the more popular choice, as 56 percent of all 2024 Corvettes have a hard top.
Next, let’s talk about paint color since that’s a huge defining feature. Across the 42,934 Corvettes built for 2024, the most popular color is also one of the most boring: Arctic White. 6,493 Corvettes feature that color. Torch Red comes in second place with 6,013 cars across all three trim levels.
Unsurprisingly, E-Ray buyers ended up with the rarest cars in the bunch this year. Across the coupe and convertible, all but two paint colors were sold in numbers below triple digits. The two outliers above double digits are both convertible models – in Red Mist with 106 sales and again, in Arctic White with 128 sales. The rarest Vette for the 2024 model year is the E-Ray coupe in Accelerate Yellow. Chevrolet built just six of them.
Not disputing the aesthetics, but performance wise, they’re the best, most capable they’ve ever been.
I’ll take the 74 Porche 911 carrera any day in lime green
If I won a billion in the lottery I’d opt for something collectible, like maybe Neil Peart’s AC Cobra, and keep it in protected storage except for the occasional Concours. Then I’d drive a bulletproofed 2007 Ford F-350 diesel 4x4...
Oh yeah, because the supply will continue to decline.
:^) Not green, $150,000. But I’ve found sport cars to be very beautiful but not really working vehicles for me.

When the remake the 1963 split window let me know love style and class.
Ok. They just look WAAAAYYYYY overdne imo. Its almost comical. The harsh lines are atroocious.
The mid-engined Vette is fugly. Like the Datsun 300ZX, looks like it was designed by Wurlitzer (the juke box maker). Four-wheeled bad taste.
It looks Japanese...........
