GM’s CEO Barra along with Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter are in New York City Thursday night to attend the 3rd Annual Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s Footsteps to the Future Gala in which GM was honored for its 100 years of working with the nation’s military. Word is since they drove a 2020 C8 Corvette to the event that GM will announce the coming of this next gen Corvette
It's officially official: the next-generation 2020 Chevrolet Corvette will make the switch to a mid-engine layout. Like the many spy shots we've seen of the car, this photo shows a prototype of the new Corvette C8 with camouflage but this time, it's coming directly from General Motors.
The new Corvette C8 makes its debut July 18, 2019, and will go on sale by the end of the year.
General Motors is admitting that the Corvette will reach another generation and has confirmed that the car, the real, bona fide 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 will make its official debut July 18.
While spy photos showing the C8's low-slung silhouette & vastly different proportions have circulated on the internet for years now, what you're looking at is the first real photo of the car that Chevrolet has supplied & the first time the company has even acknowledged the existence of what might be the auto industry's worst-kept secret. GM CEO Mary Barra is making the announcement at the Siller Foundation charity gala in New York tonight 4/11/19
Hagerty reports that the C8 will start in the $60,000 to $70,000 range, where it'll be equipped with a new version of the current Corvette's naturally aspirated LT1 6.2-liter V-8. This engine, dubbed LT2, should make around 500 horsepower, up from the LT1's 460 horsepower.
