New mid engine Vette unveiled tonight. Mid engine, 495 hp and 0-60 under 3 seconds. Price starts under 60K. I like it.

Hopefully the twin turbo 1000 hp version is under 150K and available in a convertible of some type .....very nice looking car

Charley Lillard 07-19-2019 04:18 AM

It has a lift off top and trunks in front and back. Rear trunk will hold the lift off top or two bags of golf clubs.

Sa-weet looking.....
 
My wife already said “NO”. “But Hon, it’s an automatic too, you can see better out of it than the ZL1” “Jeff, what part of NO did you not understand?”

Will sell like hotcakes at 60k,even with only two pedals. Hope they offer the LT2 in a Camaro before they axe it.

Yes, I agree it's greatly improved from the current model and a true performance bargain.

Lee Stewart 07-19-2019 10:07 AM

The entry-level C8 Corvette will make 490 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque from the new, 6.2-liter LT2 V8. That's 35 more than the current Corvette Stingray, and if you opt for the performance exhaust, output increases to 495 hp and 470 lb.-ft.

That nose may be shorter than on the current Corvette, but it's still liable to find the ground on steep driveways and the like. The 2020 Corvette can raise its schnoz by 40 millimeters and can save up to 1,000 locations where it'll automatically lift.

For the first time, the Corvette will be available with the steering wheel on the right side for UK and Asian markets.

WOW! That design is full of angles... I am having trouble finding a good curve to admire.

Strange but to me the test car in test camo was less busy.

Perhaps I will like it better in person.

Lee,

I get the fact that the car is all tech. I get the fact that everything is all new.

Undoubtedly this will be the biggest roll of the dice since the last restyle of the Silverado-and that roll out illustrates why radical and new does not always translate into “like” to a buyer.

At least it is gonna be cheap.

HawkX66 07-19-2019 01:28 PM

Anyone that has dreamed of Ferraris and Lambos is going to love it. I love it. Very tempting, especially at that price point.

John Brown 07-19-2019 01:33 PM

Needs moar doo-dads on the dash and console to take your mind off the driving part. /sarc

Inside ball from GM is that the C8 forms a permanent shift from the Corvette being an American sports car to a global sports car with global appeal.

There Are Three Seat Options

GT1 - a sporty style seat with emphasis on comfort, with good support for performance driving situations. Mulan leather trim, optional two-way lumbar support, and bolster adjustment.

GT2 - A middle-ground seat added to the Corvette lineup because too many customers were checking every box and getting Competition Sport racing seats as a result—those seats are great for track days but not so much for daily driving. The GT2 includes carbon-fiber trim, Nappa leather inserts, Mulan leather bolsters, a jet black painted seatback, two-way lumbar support and bolster adjustment, and heating and ventilation.

Competition Sport - For the serious, track-focused driver only, these have aggressive bolsters, full Nappa leather seating surfaces and carbon-fiber trim on the headrest. They have heating and ventilation, and a new Kevlar-vest-inspired durable performance textile, as well.

2020 Chevy Corvette Convertible pre-production

Quote:

Yes, the standard C8 comes with a removable roof, but the convertible is different. It has a roof that folds away, no fuss no muss, whereas you’ll have to manually remove the Stingray’s top then occupy some of the car’s precious cargo area to store it. At this point, Chevrolet offers no details on the convertible, and a freeze-frame of the video includes text saying it’s a preproduction model that could differ from the droptop ‘Vette you’ll eventually see at dealerships. Its arrival is another mystery, though if we look at previous Corvette reveals, the convertible could be just a few months away from its own grand unveiling.

markjohnson 07-19-2019 03:23 PM

I wasn’t sure about it at first look because it was not immediately recognizable as a Corvette with the radical changes but then again ‘62-‘63 was a radical change, ‘67-‘68 was radical along with the ‘82-‘84. It’s GM’s flagship and it’s supposed to lead, not follow. I love the bird’s eye view of it but I’m really diggin’ how the upper intake plenum looks like a spine! Final thoughts are: this is the one Zora always wanted.

I could have done without hearing that, but I'm not surprised of that angle from Govt Motors.

70 copo 07-19-2019 04:06 PM

The camaro styling in the mow hawk look to the roof and other Camaro like styling traits like the wide rear end look and the shape of the tail lights are a plus.

ssl78 07-19-2019 04:32 PM

I really like the new Vette sure reminds me of a Mccleran which I also like.
