Corvette (C8) C8 Corvette rumored to go mid-engine (again)

[mihc]

C8 vs previous C7.

No official thread?

Seems like almost all the renders were accurate. I had hoped that the separated exhausts were not real.
I just can't with that high row of buttons. Trying to select a button will be like a guessing game.

Automobile Magazine is reporting 2020 Corvette Stingray Coupe curb weight of 3366 lbs. which is 68 lbs heavier than a 2018 Stingray Coupe.

3366 is dry weight while the C7 weight is curb.... I don't know why GM have begun to use dry weight now...to confuse us maybe?
This means that the real weight increase is almost 300 lbs.

Given modern motorists' penchant for luxury and equipment a weight gain these days is no big deal. But 166 kg is a lot.
I wonder who supplies the 8-speed dual clutcher?

It's the brand new Tremec DCT unit as I stated previously.

One of the more elegant, subtle configurations. Devoid of a tacked-on rear wing, the backside looks rather good.

Yeah baby, it's all about the darker colours! That dark one on the previous page, even under the poor lighting, looks the business.

I prefer the look of the current one which is unapologetically Corvette but I guess they had to compromise for mid engine position. Looks more like a generic good-looking European sportscar from the pics but I have to see it live before maybe eating my words.

Not usually a 'Vette fan, but unlike previous iterations, this has my attention. Looks very promising.

I can't imagine the power and performance coming with future versions. The Z06 and the ZR1 are going to be outright demonic.

Absoultely. Those versions have been hamstrung by the lack of dual-clutch transmissions for ages.

And the front mounted engine.

That interior (roadfly video), in light colors is leagues ahead of the current

 

[savage-It]

definitively there is quite a big potential...(anrkywheels-instagram)
