Chevrolet To Introduce Corvette To South Korea

General Motors Co., the world's largest automaker, will begin selling the Chevrolet Corvette sports car in South Korea next month as the U.S. company seeks to expand sales in overseas markets.

The Corvette Coupe, equipped with a eight-cylinder engine delivering 430 horsepower, will go on sale May 4 starting at 86.4 million won ($76,300), GM's South Korean unit said in an e- mailed statement Sunday. That's more than 50 percent higher than the car's sticker price in the U.S.
