The C8 Corvette Stingray continues to dominate the global performance scene, capturing a prestigious 2025 Sport Auto Award in Germany.
The C8 Stingray secured a decisive victory in the imported "Coupés up to €150,000" category, a classification reserved for the best non-domestic
performance cars with sub-supercar pricing.
This win represents a significant conquest on the home turf of Germany's legendary sports car brands, proving the American icon's formidable appeal among discerning European enthusiasts.

"We are extremely proud and honored that Sport Auto readers have once again voted the Corvette Stingray number 1," says Lasse Grundstroem, Chief Commercial Officer of General Motors Europe.
"This award confirms our passion for performance and design and shows how much the Corvette inspires its fans year after year, our thanks go to everyone who voted for us."

This award is not a decision made by a small panel of judges, but is the direct result of a popular vote conducted by the readers of Germany's leading automotive publication, Auto Motor Sport. The "Import" classification ensures a level playing field, pitting the Corvette against the finest performance machines from every other non-German nation.
By emerging victorious, the Stingray demonstrated that it captured the hearts and votes of the German performance community. The award's organizers noted that these reader-voted results are considered a key "stimmungsbarometer," or sentiment barometer, within the high-performance sports car scene.

The win underscores a successful and ongoing strategic push from GM to solidify the Corvette's position in the European market. The mid-engine C8 Corvette, with its performance-first design and relatively accessible price tag, has been a cornerstone of this effort.
By earning such a public endorsement from a car culture known for high standards, the Corvette Stingray validates its world-class status. This trophy adds to an already crowded case for the C8, further cementing its legacy as a performance benchmark.

For GM, this award is more than just another piece of hardware. It is a powerful marketing tool and a testament to the Corvette's evolving identity. Beating established European rivals in a direct, reader-driven poll sends an unambiguous message that the American supercar can not only compete, but can win on the global stage. As the Corvette continues to build its international reputation, this victory in Germany marks one of its most resonant achievements yet.
