Here’s a first look at the Corvette C8 in RHD configuration, which means Australia, Japan and the UK should be getting giddy.

Although GM showed a single image of the C8 cabin in RHD guise nearly a year ago, we have yet to see any official release, press images, or even a prototype from Chevrolet.

Talking to CorvetteBlogger, Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter stated “some of us are actually driving them around… it’s very strange to be driving a Corvette with the steering wheel on the right-hand side. We’ve built some and we’ll be doing some of our pre-production testing now in the U.S.”

Fascinatingly though, this is the first time we’ve seen a single prototype.

Expect an official debut in the coming months, with an on-sale date TBD.

Japan to Receive First Configurations of RHD Corvette C8

Japan to Receive First Configurations of RHD Corvette C8

Motors vehicles. Photo credit: Brian Williams, SpiedBildeThe Corvette C8 will be produced for the first time as a right-hand-drive (RHD) model. Japan will be the first country to receive the new configuration in 2021 with the expected delivery of 300 of these iconic General Motors vehicles.

The 300 eighth-generation Corvettes are presold, selling out within 60 hours of them going on sale. The United Kingdom and Australia are the other two markets expected to receive the RHD Corvette in late 2021. While the numbers are small to start—300 in the first year in Japan and 200 rumored in the first year in Australia—it’s a start for this vehicle. GM officials have noted in recent press reports that the success of the Ford Mustang RHD versions helped prove the international appeal of these late-model American musclecars.

The RHD version will be built alongside the left-hand-drive (LHD) version in the GM Bowling Green, Kentucky, facility.
