Corvette Ignites the Middle East with Record Sales

Corvette Ignites the Middle East with Record-Breaking Sales Month

Middle East, 11 September 2025 – The Corvette. A true American icon of speed, design, and unrelenting passion. In the Middle East, this legendary sports car has proven once again why it remains one of the world’s most desired performance machines, achieving its best monthly sales performance since 2015.

“Every Corvette carries with it an extraordinary amount of passion, precision, and craftsmanship. Achieving our best August sales since 2015 is not just a commercial success—it’s a reflection of the dedication behind every vehicle and the deep connection this icon continues to build with drivers across the Middle East,” said Furrukh Jawaid, Chief Marketing Officer at General Motors Middle East & North Africa.

Corvette ZR1: A Legacy of Innovation

Since its debut in 1953, the Corvette has embodied innovation and performance. From pioneering lightweight construction to introducing big-block V8 power, every generation of Corvette has pushed boundaries.

Today, the lineup is more diverse than ever:

• Stingray – Everyday thrills with pure Corvette DNA.
• E-Ray – A hybrid Corvette with all-season confidence.
• Z06 – Precision-engineered for the track.
• ZR1 – The king of performance, redefining what a supercar can be.

On the horizon, the highly anticipated ZR1X promises to be the most advanced Corvette ever, set to push the legend to even greater heights.

Winning Over a Broader Audience

Traditionally the dream car of hardcore enthusiasts, Corvette is now resonating with a new generation of Middle Eastern drivers. Younger professionals, women, and lifestyle-focused buyers are choosing Corvette not just for its performance, but as a statement of individuality, aspiration, and confidence.

This broader appeal shows that Corvette has become more than a sports car—it’s a cultural icon in the region.

Breaking Records on the Global Stage

Corvette’s success is not limited to sales. On the Nürburgring, the ZR1X and ZR1 shattered records, securing the fastest official lap times ever achieved by an American manufacturer:

• ZR1X – 6:49.275
• ZR1 – 6:50.763

These record-breaking performances highlight the engineering excellence and relentless drive behind every Corvette. The story is further captured in the documentary Homegrown Speed: A Corvette Story, now streaming on YouTube, which showcases Corvette’s journey from American roads to the legendary Green Hell.

The Road Ahead

Looking forward, the 2026 Corvette lineup promises even more excitement, with reimagined interiors, refined craftsmanship, and cutting-edge technology. Whether it’s for daily driving, track performance, or making a bold lifestyle statement, there’s now a Corvette for every kind of driver.

As the brand continues to thrive across the Middle East, one thing is clear: the Corvette’s story is far from over. In fact, it’s only getting faster.
