General Motors has strengthened Corvette’s growing presence in the UK by appointing luxury performance vehicle specialist Clive Sutton as its official Corvette retailer for London.
The new partnership provides customers across London and the South East with direct access to Corvette’s expanding right-hand-drive model range, backed by manufacturer warranty, finance and specialist aftersales support.
Selected Corvette models are available immediately, while factory orders are now being accepted for delivery from October. Customers can also configure their own UK-specification Corvette online via Clive Sutton’s dedicated configurator ahead of the opening of a new Corvette showroom this summer at the company’s Staples Corner dealership in north-west London.
Corvette Strengthens UK Presence
The dedicated London showroom will showcase the complete UK Corvette range alongside Clive Sutton’s existing General Motors Specialty Vehicles (GMSV) portfolio, which includes premium Cadillac and Chevrolet SUVs and trucks.
Jean-Pierre Diernaz, Managing Director and Chief Marketing Officer of General Motors Europe, said London was the ideal location to expand the iconic American performance brand.
“London is one of the world’s great cities for performance cars and car culture, so it feels like a natural place for Corvette to grow its presence in the UK. With Clive Sutton, more customers will have the chance to discover what makes Corvette so special – bold design, everyday usability and impressive performance.”
Three Distinct Performance Models
The UK Corvette range now caters for a wide spectrum of performance enthusiasts.
Leading the line-up is the Corvette Stingray, powered by a naturally aspirated mid-mounted V8 engine and priced from £97,570.
Customers seeking electrified performance can choose the Corvette E-Ray, combining hybrid technology with all-wheel drive to deliver a blistering 0-60mph time of just 2.8 seconds, with prices starting from £156,430.
For drivers wanting the ultimate track-focused experience, the 646hp Corvette Z06 features a high-revving 5.5-litre V8, track-tuned suspension, advanced aerodynamics and carbon-ceramic brakes. Prices start from £182,730.
Le Mans Success Reinforces Corvette Credentials
Corvette’s motorsport pedigree received another significant boost earlier this year after securing victory in the GT3 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The race-winning GT3 car is based on the Corvette C8 Z06, giving prospective UK buyers a direct link between Corvette’s competition success and its road-going flagship.
Complete Ownership Experience
Clive Sutton says the partnership is designed to deliver far more than simply vehicle sales.
Founder Clive Sutton said:
“We’re proud to bring Corvette to London and to offer customers an ownership experience backed by full warranty, finance and aftersales care. Our focus is on ensuring customers can enjoy every aspect of Corvette ownership with confidence, supported by trusted, personalised service. We’re excited to introduce this iconic nameplate both to long-standing clients and to those discovering Corvette for the first time.”
The retailer will provide specialist finance packages, genuine accessories, servicing, replacement parts and technical support for every generation of Corvette. Every new vehicle supplied through Clive Sutton benefits from full manufacturer warranty and official General Motors aftersales backing.
A Specialist with Four Decades of Experience
Established almost 40 years ago, Clive Sutton has become one of the UK’s leading specialists in high-performance American luxury vehicles.
Its appointment as Corvette’s official London retailer represents another milestone in General Motors’ long-term strategy to expand the availability of its iconic sports car across the UK market.
With a dedicated showroom opening this summer and online ordering already underway, Corvette is positioning itself to attract a broader audience of British performance car enthusiasts than ever before.
