Factory lines have already turned out 1,936,435 examples of the model, with the brand edging toward the round-number milestone of two million. To get there, the company needs just 63,565 more Corvettes, a target penciled in for roughly 2027 to 2028. With production humming along, that landmark now feels well within reach.

As for the current mid-engine C8, introduced in 2019, it has pulled ahead of the C7 with a noticeable jump in output. In its first six years, eighth-generation Corvettes have already claimed a place in the nameplate’s history, with nearly 195,000 units built—about 10% more than the seventh generation over a comparable span. The switch to a mid-engine layout clearly resonated with buyers.

Even so, the volume champion remains the third-generation Corvette (C3), produced from the early 1970s through the late 1980s. That era delivered about 542,862 cars, making it the most numerous and the most popular among the brand’s enthusiasts.

All told, today’s C8 is steadily building momentum as it closes in on the lofty benchmarks set by its predecessors.
