2020 Chevrolet Corvette is Finally Revealed

2020 Chevrolet Corvette is Finally Revealed

2020 C8 Corvette Stingray

Chevrolet unveiled the first mid-engine C8 Corvette Stingray at the unveiling in California on late Thursday night. The change intended to take the all-American sports car to the next level of performance so it can compete with the world’s best on equal footing.

The C8 Corvette has had its engine up front through seven generations, ever since the first one hit the road in 1953. Previous attempts to swap ends were met with resistance because they were deemed to expensive and quite odd for the car’s audience.

The Legendary Corvette design engineer Zora Arkus Duntov understood the racing dynamics and advantages of placing the engine between the axles ever since he created the first mid-engine Chevrolet Experimental Research Vehicle (CERV i) in 1960. He and his successors developed several more prototypes using the layout over the years that gained plenty of attention, but couldn’t convince management to put them into production as the conventional Corvettes continued to sell well.

Zora Arkus Duntov

The C8 Stingray has 465 lb-ft of torque, plenty of weight on the rear tires and the latest traction and launch control systems, Chevrolet says it can accelerate to 60 mph in under 3.0 seconds when equipped with the optional Z51 package and performance exhaust that bumps power and torque up by 5 hp and 5 lb-ft. That puts it squarely in exotic car territory. Keep in mind that the Stingray is the entry-level Corvette model and much more powerful iterations are still to come.

The Stingray’s backbone chassis is primarily made of aluminum and dressed in fiberglass body panels, in keeping with Corvette tradition. Its elongated headlights and angular quad taillights are the only styling elements that recall the car it replaces.

C8 Stingray Rear

The suspension features A-arms and coil springs at all four corners, and finally loses the signature leaf-spring rear end of past Corvettes. Adaptive magnetorheological dampers are also available, and a nose lift is offered that raises the front of the car two inches to get over bumps. You can even geotag the locations where you most often need it and the feature will automatically activate as you approach them.

The interior features a squared-off steering wheel, a full-digital instrument cluster, a central tablet-style display canted toward the driver and a long row of buttons and toggles situated on a raised ridge between the seats. Behind the motor is a trunk large enough for either the requisite two golf bags or the Targa roof panel, while a smaller compartment in the front can hold a carry-on bag.

Visibility is enhanced by a video rearview mirror that uses feed from a wide-angle camera at the trailing edge of the roof, while a forward-facing camera can be used to film track sessions with the Performance Data Recorder or as a dashcam on public roads. The C8 will also offer a Euro model with left hand drive to compete with other exotic autos in the European market, a first for the Corvette.

The 2020 Corvette enters production late this year. Exact pricing hasn’t been announced, but GM President Mark Reuss said it will start under $60,000, which is close to what the current car goes for, and that the order books are open now.
