Chevrolet will stop producing Corvette to improve the project

Chevrolet is likely to make changes to the Corvette -2 model, as the Wat’s assembly plant at Bowling Green will stop production for several weeks. The stops will also include a two -week closure at the end of March.

A spokesman for the Chevrolet in an interview with Motor 2 confirmed that stops will take place on February 2, the last two weeks of March (March 9) and the week of May 9. According to him, these holidays are intended for project improvements and production updates.

Temporary stops in production by automakers, especially when it comes to specific models such as Corvette, is not rare. But these holidays occur when the Corvette’s situation is associated with some ambiguities. Tadaj Jochter, a senior and older engineer of Corvette, retired last summer, and recently the company has been working with Harlene Charles, a former Corvette product manager and a 6 -year -old Chevrolet veteran. Unofficially, it seems that Corvette’s external design manager Kirk Benion has also been separated from the company, though the exact details of the separation have not yet been determined.

Production stops also raise a larger question: Does this indicate the onset of physical changes in Corvette? Rumors of the interior of the car have been going on for years, and even in one of the posts of the Middle Corvette Association, the possibility of introducing a new Corvette Grand Sport has been introduced. When the E-Ray model was introduced in year 5, it was thought that planning for a new Grand Sport was set aside. But as Chris Perkins properly pointed out, the production of a new Grand Sport is not only difficult, but it can be potentially profitable for General Motors.

These stops may only be to better manage Chevrolet inventory and optimize workforce to increase efficiency. However, if we are to predict, the early entry of a Grand Sport C8 cannot surprise us. If new information is released by Chevrolet, we will immediately update it.
