General Motors is preparing to mark America’s 250th anniversary massively, and the 2026 Corvette Stingray Stars & Steel Limited Edition serves as the crown jewel of its patriotic celebration. This isn’t just a standard trim package but rather a highly curated collector’s item that wraps the C8 platform in a bold and historic design theme. To preserve the exclusivity of the release, Chevrolet has restricted the edition to the top-tier 3LT trim level, though it remains available for both coupe and convertible buyers.
When configuring their vehicle, collectors have two distinct aesthetic paths that scream patriotism. The first option features an Arctic White exterior that pairs beautifully with a Santorini Blue interior and includes an American flag-inspired stripe package. Alternatively, buyers can choose a sleek Black finish that’s matched with an Adrenaline Red interior and comes with its own unique set of patriotic graphics. Inside the cockpit, attention to detail continues with Torch Red seat belts and premium floor mats with red stitching, while an exclusive plaque displays the build number from 001 to 250.
The hardware upgrades are equally impressive, with 19 and 20-inch Gloss Black forged aluminum wheels framing Edge Red brake calipers. A low-profile spoiler and splitter add some aggression, and black exhaust tips complete the sinister look. For coupe models, Chevy even included engine lighting to highlight the Edge Red LT2 engine cover beneath the rear glass.
Owning this piece of history requires a significant investment because the Stars & Steel package carries a sticker price of $9,995. Mandatory options like the performance exhaust push the actual premium to $11,190 for the coupe, while convertible owners face an even steeper climb with a total premium of $12,185 due to the required engine appearance package. Production will take place at GM’s famous Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.
