The fourth model year of the C8 Corvette was introduced by Chevrolet as the most powerful production Stingray in history, delivering 495 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. Motortrend took it a step further and called the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 the "best American sports car ever made"

The 2023's naturally aspirated V8 engine is positioned behind the driver, putting power in the rear wheels. The standard 8-speed dual-clutch transmission combines the smoothness of an automatic with the control of a manual and next-generation damping reads the road so you can drive with confidence.

With a base price of $65,895, the 2023 Corvette's sharp handling and breathtaking acceleration exceeds sports cars that cost much more. But this Corvette doesn't sacrifice comfort for performance. With three different seat options and ample trunk storage, the 2023 Corvette fits well into your daily lifestyle.

2023 marked the 70th Anniversary Edition of the Corvette and to celebrate, Chevrolet offered a special anniversary C8 in two unique exterior colors — White Pearl Metallic Tricoat with available Satin Matrix Gray full-length dual racing stripes or Carbon Flash Metallic with available Satin Black Metallic full-length dual racing stripes. The interior was Ceramic White leather with red stitching and red seat belts. Wheel center caps, seats and sill plates all boasted the 70th anniversary logo. A total of 5,601 70th Anniversary Editions were produced for the model year.

Of the 53,785 Corvettes produced in 2023, 52% were coupes, 48% were convertibles. Torch Red was the most popular color choice for 2023. Artic White and Black also continued to prove popular among 2023 Corvette owners.
