Right-hand drive American muscle car includes warranty, service plan and finance options. CVH Auto Group, operating out of Bryanston, is now offering the factory-built right-hand drive 2025 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray to local buyers. This comes fresh off the back of Durban-based Rospa International's partnership agreement with Australian Autogroup International (AGI) to bring in converted right-hand drive American muscle cars and trucks. Fully-backed Chevrolet Corvette Priced from R3 700 000, and available in Coupe and Convertible body styles, CVH's Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingrays are not grey imports or aftermarket conversions. They are fully homologated for South Africa and come with warranties and a service plan. This also means that trade-ins, local financing, and insurance are available to new buyers.

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray now available in SA - here's how much it'll cost to put one in your driveway
This is the first time ever that a Corvette has been available in right-hand-drive form from the factory. Ever dreamed of owning a Corvette? For the first time ever, the Chevrolet sports car is available in South Africa as a factory-built right-hand drive vehicle. However this doesn't mark the official return of the Chevrolet brand, which exited our market when General Motors pulled the plug in 2017. Rather, it is an exclusive and low-volume import via the CVH Auto Group, based in Bryanston, Johannesburg. What's the price? Getting the new Corvette Stingray into your driveway will set you back from R3.7 million, with both the coupe, convertible and Z06 models being available to South Africans. That makes it a shade more expensive than the Porsche 911 GTS (R3.25m) and cheaper than the 911 GT3 (R4.62m) and Mercedes-AMG's GT63 S (R4.38m). The Corvette Stingray, introduced in 2020, is the first-ever series-produced mid-engined Corvette, with previous iterations having been front-engined.

A slice of America: Corvette makes its long-awaited debut in Singapore, Lifestyle News
The iconic American sports car, Corvette, has made its official debut in Singapore, following a glitzy launch event held at Ion Orchard on July 28. More famously known as the Chevrolet Corvette, the event also marked the introduction of Corvette as a standalone brand in its own right. The brand will be represented by Alpine Motors, which was previously the distributor of Opel cars in Singapore, and it marks the first time that the Corvette is available for sale here through official channels in right-hand-drive form. The latest iteration of one of America's most famous sports cars is dubbed the Corvette Stingray, and it features an aggressive-looking design that is said to be inspired by fighter jets and Formula 1 cars. The eighth-generation model also features a mid-engine layout for the first time, a departure from the front-engine design of its predecessors. The engine itself is a 6.2-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that produces 495hp and 630Nm of torque, allowing it to go from 0 to 100km/h in a blistering 2.9 seconds, and reach a top speed of 312km/h. The Corvettes that are being sold in Singapore will also come with what the company calls the Z51 Performance Package, which includes track-tuned suspension, adaptive dampers, performance exhausts, larger brakes, a limited-slip differential, and high performance tyres. Alpine Motors will be showcasing the car at Ion Orchard until August 3, but it has also opened a new showroom for the brand at 1 Commonwealth Lane. Pricing starts from $648,000 without COE, which puts it roughly in the same price bracket as the Porsche 911, but Alpine says that it will only import a limited number of Corvette Stingrays for Singapore.
