Johannesburg, South Africa – 11 September – A new chapter in South Africa’s performance car story has begun. CVH Auto Group has proudly delivered the first factory-built right-hand-drive Corvette Stingray units to their new owners, marking a moment of automotive history years in the making.

This landmark achievement follows extensive preparation and close international collaboration to bring one of the world’s most celebrated sports cars to South African roads in its purest, factory-engineered form.
