Chevrolet surprised us with the launch price for its 2020 Corvette Stingray C8, but there are hints that its Porsche-worrying sticker will get nudged upwards sooner rather than later. The new 2020 Corvette isn't set to arrive in dealerships until later in the year, but with a sub-$60,000 starting price many are already readying their orders.
There's no denying the 2020 Corvette Stingray is affordable, with Chevrolet flipping expectations of its mid-engined sports car, but there's a tough decision involved when it comes to bragging rights. Unveiled last month, the new Corvette C8 promised to be not only powerful with its 6.2-liter V8 but relatively attainable, too.
Chevrolet has confirmed official pricing for the 2020 Corvette Stingray C8, and the 194 mph sports car is likely to raise more than a few eyebrows at how affordable it is. Revealed earlier this year, the first mid-engined Corvette will start from under $60k, Chevy has said today, in addition to detailing the various trims and packages that the new Stingray will be offered with.
There’s a reason why Chevrolet revealed the 2020 C8 Corvette Stingray during the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. The new mid-engine Corvette is one small step for Chevy, and one giant leap for the American-built sports car industry. It sounds like I’m exaggerating - maybe even like I'm a star-struck fan - but having had the chance to get up close and personal with the 2020 Corvette I’m pretty convinced it'll create a huge tsunami in the world of high-performance cars.
The new 2020 Corvette may have a hybrid in its not-too-distant future, with Chevrolet refusing to shut down chatter of electrified versions of the brand new sports car. Revealed this week, the eighth-generation 2020 Corvette Stingray has a 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8, which Chevy has dubbed the LT2. However, it's also set the mid-engined car's platform up to accommodate very different drivetrains.
The 2020 Corvette C8 is real, and we still can't get past its divisive dashboard. From the early leaked image, through to confirmation that the button-blasted cabin really was official, it's been clear that it's the accommodations which will be most controversial in the new mid-engined sports car.
For all we knew about the 2020 Corvette C8, the car Chevrolet unveiled this week still managed to surprise. The latest-generation of Chevy's sports-car-for-the-everyman promises more performance, more striking style, more tech, and more refinement, but without blowing out the price. That's an equation many automakers struggle to get anywhere close to - read on for what you need to know.
This is it: the 2020 Corvette C8, the eighth-generation of Chevrolet's icon and the culmination of decades of rumors of a mid-engined sports car from the company. Leaked, rumored, teased, and prompting arguments across the board, the 2020 Corvette Stingray will launch with 495 horsepower from a 6.2-liter V8 LT2 engine.
Chevrolet is still hours away from pulling the wraps off the 2020 Corvette C8, but that hasn't stopped what looks like a leaked image of the hotly-anticipated car's dashboard from emerging. The first mid-engined model in the car's history, the new 2020 Corvette Stingray is Chevy's big hope to reboot the nameplate and shed its mid-life-crisis image.
The mid-engined 2020 Corvette C8 is almost here, but there's more to Chevrolet's long-lasting sports car than just the location of its engine. When you're rebooting a bonafide icon there's a whole lot of history to take into account. That's why I spent some time in the 2019 Corvette Stingray Z51 to see where Chevy should go next - and what the 2020 Corvette C8 should avoid.
Chevrolet isn't ready to show us the 2020 Corvette C8, but the long-anticipated mid-engined sports car is giving us a glimpse of the most important part of the cabin. The automaker won't take the wraps off the next-generation Corvette until July 18, 2019, but Chevy has surreptitiously slipped out an image of the sports car's steering wheel in advance.
To say that Corvette fans are excited about the new 2020 Corvette is an understatement. The mid-engined version of the storied sports car has been discussed and argued over for so long, it seemed like it was destined to remain mythical forever. Now, though, GM has admitted that its mysterious new coupe was what we suspected it to be all along.
