Brace yourselves for the Chevrolet Corvette saga

MANILA: All the wait, all the prayers, every bit of them has paid off. They say good things take time, and the aficionados in the Philippines will certainly affirm to that. Finally, we have the Chevrolet Corvette rushing all the way towards us.

Taking place from November 22-28 at the SM Megamall Fashion Hall is the Chevrolet Motorama 2018. The event will become a part of the automobile history as the Corvette makes its official debut in the Philippines. Chevrolet’s merchant, The Covenant Car Company Inc (TCCCI), recently confirmed the arrival.

Over the years, it has been the looks of the sportscars that have fascinated the crowd. And the Corvette looks dope, doesn’t it? It is a definite looker. The curves that bend in some style, the convertible roofs, air-intake vents on the bonnet, chunky alloys all provide the Corvette with an unarguably super-sexy appeal. With other ASEAN countries still holding their composure for the arrival of the Chevrolet Corvette, we are surely quite blessed to have the icon on our shores.

The road that was paved in 1953, is still as exciting as ever to travel on. The seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette that will be up for viewing at the event will be in its Stingray guise. The motor that resides in the front of the car is a 6.2-litre V8 capable of pumping out 467 PS of maximum power. A 0-100 kmph run on this beautiful beast takes not more than 4.1 seconds.

With over 25 variants of the Corvette available in the US and the huge price range that translates to around Php 3 million to over Php 6 million, we expect the Corvette to cost around Php 6 million to Php 7 million here in the Philippines. The arrival of the Chevrolet Corvette to the Philippines will also bring the Nissan GTR a fellow.
