Default C8 Right Hand Drive Released

GM Authority posted pics of the just released 2021 C8 RHD.

They stated :"GM Japan reportedly received 300 orders for the Corvette C8 in just 60 hours. Pricing for the Coupe is set at 11.18 million yen ($106,730 at current exchange rates, 02/12/2021) for the 2LT trim, and 14 million yen ($133,652 at current exchange rates) for the range-topping 3LT trim. Just one trim of the Corvette C8 Convertible will be sold in Japan for 15.5 million yen ($147,971 at current exchange rates).

The right-hand-drive Corvette C8 will also be sold in Australia, with GMSV (the new GM brand in the market following the departure of Holden) planning to import 200 units per year. Pricing in Australia is set at $149,990 AUD ($116,362 at current exchange rates)."

That's the same render that's been floating around for months. Has GM actually started building any yet?
