The first rear mid-engine Corvette since the model’s introduction in 1953 will be available for purchase in Mzansi thanks to importing auto groups such as Rospa International and CVH Auto Group.
Rospa International is well renowned for being a key supplier of most imported vehicle offerings that our market does not often receive. Rospa currently offers cars like the Nissan Skyline GT-R, Toyota AE86, and Mazda RX-7, which has gained them a popularity in specializing in Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) provider.
CVH Auto Group on the other hand has nearly a decade offering imports and local distribution of Maserati in South Africa and have gone to be a trustedAuto Group and official distributor.
Now, Rospa International or CVH is offering the people of Mzansi the opportunity to drive off in an American muscle car that has pedals and a steering wheel on the right side of the vehicle because, from the factory, the eighth generation Corvette is manufactured with both left-hand and right-hand drive setups.
What we know is that you will be able to choose from either the Stingray or the more potent Z06 version of the ‘Vette.
The entry-level Stingray will be powered by a 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 delivering 369 kW, but if you feel that’s not enough, you can opt for the more brutal Z06, which has a naturally aspirated 5.5-litre V8 engine that features a flat-plane crankshaft setup, giving it the throne as the world’s most powerful series production naturally aspirated engine.
Both the Z06 and Stingray are rear-wheel-driven through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Z06 can sprint from zero to 100 km/h in under three seconds, boasting a top speed of almost 315 km/h, the Stingray can do 0–100km/h sprint in just 3.5 seconds making both cars stonkingly quick.
The Corvette will be available with just three trim levels, namely 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT. What we know now is that CVH officially listed the starting price to be R3,700,000. For more go to https://rospaimports.co.za/ or https://cvhauto.co.za/corvette/
