Mid Engine Corvette Outsells Porsche 911 ... and Every Other Sports Car in the Segment
April 16th, 2021

Congratulations, Corvette. For the first quarter 2021, America's favorite sports car outsold every other new sports car available in the United States.
That means Corvette outsold:
• Porsche 911
• Porsche 718
• Mercedes AMG GT
• Mercedes SL-Class
• Audi R8
• Nissan GT-R
• Acura NSX
The segment is still highly niche, with Corvette production amounting to 6,611 units, which is 51% of the entire segment for the quarter reported.
According to our friends at GM Authority, "The Corvette C8 success story has just begun, given that all other high-performance variants are still in the works – including the C8 Z06, C8 E-Ray, C8 ZR1 and C8 Zora. Once these models launch over the next couple of years, we expect Corvette sales to further improve their dominance over the competition."
