50 Years of the Chevrolet Corvette

2020

A new generation of Corvette has begun. The highly anticipated C8 was unveiled at the Kennedy Space Center July 18, 2019. It kept some design characteristics of the C7, but Chevy revamped the bulk of the exterior, putting massive attention on aerodynamics and cooling. You can see this with side scoops that contain air intakes. Chevrolet even put vents under the taillight. The C8 Stingray has a 6.2 L LT2 V8 engine with a 490 hp rating. It also has an 8-speed dual-clutch automated transmission manufactured by Tremee, an unequal length double wishbone suspension with monotube shock absorbers on all four wheels. Speaking of wheels, the Stingray utilizes alloy wheels with 19 inches in the front and 20 in at the rear with Michelin Pilot Sport ALS as the standard tires. New to the inside of the vehicle is a hexagonal steering wheel. A digital screen replaced the instrument cluster and a button on the wheel to activate custom performance settings. The Corvette C8 received the 2020 Motor Trend Car of the Year.
We look forward to seeing what Chevrolet has in mind for the coming Corvettes.
