On May 12, 2025, reports confirmed that Chevrolet will temporarily halt production of the 2025 Corvette at its Bowling Green Assembly plant for four weeks to prepare for the 2026 model year. The closures, previously announced for February 24, March 17, March 24, and May 19, are part of a strategic plan to manage inventory, retrain employees, and implement physical changes to the facility. The 2026 Corvette is expected to feature a redesigned interior with a new three-screen layout, including a 12.7-inch center console display, a 14-inch driver information center, and a 6.6-inch auxiliary touchscreen. Production of the 2026 model is slated to begin on June 2, with order books opening on April 13. The 2025 Corvette lineup includes the high-performance ZR1, boasting 1,064 horsepower and a top speed of 233 miles per hour, marking it as a significant model before the transition.
