This is good news for the state as well as for Bowling Green with more than 500 employees. General Motors has decided to invest $131 million in the Corvette Assembly Plant and will upgrade tooling and machinery. One expects about 250 new jobs to get created for the up-coming C7 Corvette. Mark Reuss, the North American President of GM, and Steve Beshear, Kentucky Governor, Tadge Juechter, Corvette Chief Engineer and Corvette Assembly Plant Manager Dave Tatham made the announcement together.

Corvette is America’s most iconic car and this is good news for all the Corvette lovers around the world. Bowling Green is a special place and is like a mecca for all those who seek a true sports car, that is rich in performance and affordable too. The fans and enthusiasts come from all across the globe to see what is going on here. This is really inspiring for the team who is already thrilled to do the next generation Corvette.

It is exciting to know that the future of the sports cars is going to get shaped here. You are going to see the most precisely built Corvette and the strongest ever in its six-decade history. You will come across new technologies enabling more accurate and efficient subassemblies. The laser-based 3d inspection systems will confirm assembly tolerances to be 25 % tighter than the previous generation Corvette. The customers might not see the advanced manufacturing technologies, but will certainly appreciate once they get behind the wheel of the new Corvette Stingray.
