Corvette C9 could debut as 2029 model with internal combustion power - report

It feels like the eighth-generation Corvette just arrived, but it’s been three years since the mid-engine icon landed. Since then, we’ve seen the Z06 and E-Ray variants, but the rumor mill’s already churning about the ninth-generation car (C9), which GM Authority said is scheduled for debut in 2029.

The publication's sources say the C9 Corvette will debut in 2028 as a 2029 model. GM’s Ultium platform is flourishing under several new EVs, but the C9 won’t move to the electrified architecture. It will instead get a modified version of the Y2 platform from the current car. Production will continue at the Corvette’s ancestral home in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Interestingly, the C9 won’t share much with the rumored Corvette EV and SUV, which are expected to arrive as EVs. The next-gen Corvette will continue with internal combustion power. In the meantime, Chevy has a few other variants planned for the Corvette, which GM Authority outlines as higher-performance models.
