Chevy is celebrating the Start of Regular Production (SORP) of the 2020 Corvette Stingray Z51 today & they released this photo of a Black mid-engine Coupe on the Corvette assembly line in Bowling Green, KY.

Believed to be the VIN #1 Corvette that was purchased by Rick Hendrick for $3 million last month at Barrett-Jackson.
Chevy said previously that the first 2020 mid-engine Corvette produced for customers would be a Black Coupe with the Z51 package.

Congratulations to all those who worked on the new Corvette to get it to this point and we are excited for all of our friends that have a new C8 Corvette on order.

The new Corvette Stingray is a grand slam home run for Chevy and from it, we will see a paradigm shift in how people will view mid-engine sports cars in the future.
And with VIN 001 coming of the Corvette assembly line today, that future is now!
