2014 Corvette Final production Numbers

regguy1 · 08-25-2014, 08:16 PM

GM officially revealed at last weekend’s Corvettes at Carlisle show that 37,288 Corvettes were built during the 2014 model year.

Those additional units, according to Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles, include exports and captured fleet cars that were sellable units.

So what’s the breakdown of production during 2014 with the different colors and options? Here’s some interesting stats and then we’ll get to the numbers. First the Z51 models accounted for 56% of Corvettes ordered and Z51s with Magnetic Selective Ride Control clocked in at 36%. Corvettes sold with the 6-speed automatic accounted for 65% of all Stingrays vs 35% who still went for the 7-Speed manual. Arctic White went from being a traditional mid-level color choice all the way up to number 2, beating Black which was a perennial favorite during the C6 generation. And finally, the Q7T Black Wheels option for Z51s sold well with the option accounting for nearly half of all Z51 Corvettes (48%).

The 2014 Corvette Stingray’s Production Stats:

41% Z51 Coupe – 15,431
1LT – 9%
2LT – 29%
3LT – 61%

30% Base Coupe – 11,134
1LT – 23%
2LT – 42%
3LT – 35%

15% Z51 Convertible – 5,680
1LT – 4%
2LT – 23%
3LT – 73%

14% Base Convertible – 5,043
1LT – 13%
2LT – 42%
3LT – 45%

Exterior colors break down as:

19% – Torch Red
17% – Arctic White
16% – Black
11% – Cyber Gray
9% – Laguna Blue
8% – Crystal Red Metallic
6% – Velocity Yellow
6% – Blade Silver
5% – Night Race Blue
4% – Lime Rock Green
Interior Colors:

39% – Jet Black Leather
21% – Adrenaline Red
14% – Kalahari
8% – Jet Black Suede
8% – Gray Leather
4% – Brownstone
3% – Kalahari Suede
2% – Gray Suede
1% – Brownstone Suede

Popular Options by RPO and Percentage Built:

CFA Painted Top – 52%
CC3 Transparent Top – 26%
C2Z Visible Carbon Fiber Top – 13%
C2Q Body-Color Dual Roof Package – 6%
C2M Carbon Fiber Dual Roof Package – 4%
FAY Carbon Fiber Instrument Panel Trim – 20%
UY4 Navigation – 82%
MYC 6-speed paddle shift with automatic – 65%
FE1 Suspension – 43%
Z51 Suspension – 21%
Z51 with Magnetic Ride Control – 36%
NPP Performance Exhaust – 84%
J64 Red Calipers – 44%
J6E Yellow Calipers – 7%
QX3 Chrome Non Z51 Wheels – 64%
QG6 Silver Non Z51 Wheels – 28%
RQ1 Machine Non Z51 Wheels – 7%
Q7T Z51 Black Wheels – 48%
Q7E Z51 Chrome Wheels – 34%
Q7S Z51 Silver Wheels – 13%

GM also made sure that we knew how well the Corvette Stingray is doing against its competition in the luxury sport segment:

Corvette Stingray – 20,804 – 36.6%
Porsche 911 – 6,017 – 10.6%
BMW 6 Series – 5,717 – 10.1%
Maserati – 5,056 – 8.9%
Mercedes SL – 2,860 – 5.0%

* US 2014 Calendar Year Deliveries January-July

We understand the plant’s current annual operating capacity with the single shift/overtime is around 38,000 Corvettes. We figure there will be less captured fleet vehicles built in 2015 than were assembled during the launch of the 2014s and it will be interesting to see if Corvette Stingray sales can keep up the torrid pace in its sophomore year. Finally, how many Corvette Z06s can/will be assembled when production starts in fourth quarter.

And for those stats, we’ll have to wait another year.

Visually... also via corvetteblogger.

Based on the high-level breakdown... my 2LT Z51 'vert is 1 of 1306 units.

looking at the production numbers, how can one tell how many c7's were produced exactly like the one a person has. Going through all the options I don't think works. Can someone explain how to determine the exact number equipped the same way?

Given the above data "exact" count is impossible as there are to many unkowns, however a very accurate estimate is possible. If I have some free time, i'll see if I can come up with an algorithm to approximate it.

Still impossible without key relations in the data. I'm sure chevy has all the data stored in an object-relational database, which would be super easy to query for an exact build. Would love to poke around their data

Stingray · 10-17-2014, 05:00 PM

Yup... to really drill down more and more of the production metrics. Besides a more detailed production snapshot and count, it would be nice if GM would provide that data even to a contract licensee such as what the Marti report is to FMC. That would enable one to request a full history report of the car's details, options, and its # of # breakdown... simply by a VIN query.

It is relatively easy to estimate, given the amount of options there are to choose from the odds of exact build is pretty low for the most part. Since most option are independent of one another I think the product of each selection is the easiest way to get a somewhat accurate estimate.

For example only calculating model, trim, ext color and int color for my car brought the count down very low.

*keep in mind my color choices were both on the low end
Coupe Z51, 2LT, Laguna Blue, Grey Interior ~31.9 cars

(0.41 * 0.29 * 0.09 * 0.08) * 37288 = 31.9

When I add all of my options it drops to .138 cars, giving the odds of my exact build even being chosen a single time out of 37288 cars is 13.8%. Also this is not excluding a car with the same options plus one or more extra options. so in reality unless you picked a very popular build, odds are low there's an exact match.
