An eighth-generation Chevrolet Corvette was spotted driving through the streets of Manchester, UK, but ended up being stopped by the local police.
The driver, who did not have the appropriate license to drive the powerful sports car, had the vehicle seized and was fined for the infraction. The Greater Manchester Police traffic team highlighted the case on social media, lamenting that the car, a symbol of design and power, was in the wrong hands.
The Corvette, launched in 1953 and one of the most iconic American sports cars, is widely imported into the UK but can now also be officially purchased with right-hand drive.
Available in models such as the Stingray and the Z06, the car costs less than £95,000, competing with vehicles like the BMW M4.
While the Corvette gains new versions, Chevrolet is ending production of the Malibu sedan after nine generations and more than 10 million units sold. This change reflects the brand’s focus on electric vehicles, with the Kansas City plant being repurposed to produce the Chevrolet Bolt EV, marking a new era for the company.
