2009 Corvette Production Numbers

The final numbers are now out for the 2009 model year production of the Corvette (I got this info from the Corvette Action Center) and thanks to the recession it was one of the lowest production years in recent history. Production has typically been about 35,000 cars per year lately, but the total production for 2009 was only 16,956 :( Here is the breakdown:

Total coupes: 8737
Total convertibles: 3343
Total Z06s: 3461
Total ZR1s: 1415

It's interesting that they made more Z06s than convertibles!

Here is the breakdown by color from most produced to least:

Black: 3665 (21.6%)
Cyber Gray: 3104 (18.3%)
Victory Red: 2231 (13.2%)
Crystal Red: 1987 (11.7%)
Blade Silver: 1642 (9.7%)
Velocity Yellow: 1370 (8.1%)
Jetstream Blue: 1367 (8.1%)
Arctic White: 863 (5.1%)
Atomic Orange: 726 (4.3%)
Luxo Blue: 1 (it was the ZR1 auctioned off at Jackson Barrett for 1 mil)


Atomic Orange has been dropped from the lineup, which typically happens to a color that ends up being less than 5% of total production (unless that happens with white, as they'll probably never drop white, it's the only color that has been in production for every single year since the beginning of the Corvette in 1953)
