2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8

Dealership Drops, Smashes Brand New Corvette Z06 Before Delivery

The gleaming red 2023 Corvette Z06 fell from an inspection lift during checks before it was due to be delivered to its excited owner

These days, car deliveries can be delayed for all kinds of reasons. Maybe your new ride is held up because the ship carrying it bursts into flames, or production of it might be pushed back due to parts shortages. Now, one very unlucky Corvette shopper is looking at lengthy delay for their delivery after their 2023 Z06 was dropped by the dealership.

But how do you drop a Corvette, I hear you ask. Well, security footage shared online shows a gleaming red Z06 propped precariously on an inspection lift in a U.S. dealership. For a few seconds, the Corvette balances still, before its rear end plummets to the ground.

The footage, which was first brought to our attention by CarScoops, shows the lift arm gouge into the passenger side of the Corvette. In the process, it ripped through the side skirt, door, rear quarter panel and side window.
