2020 Corvette C8 review: see how quick it is 0-60mph + 1/4mile... And the shocking UK price!

.............................................................

It’s time for another first for Mat and the carwow team - We’ve got our hands on a Corvette! But it’s not just any Corvette… It’s the all-new Corvette C8, and it’s the first mid-engine Corvette since the original model was released back in 1953!

It was first revealed back in Summer 2019, and when you look at the specs, it’s no surprise we’ve been dying to get our hands on one! With a 6.2-litre naturally-aspirated V8, the Corvette will be able to put down 496hp and 637Nm!

Sounds pretty good, right? But that’s not all… It’ll only cost $62,000 - less than an AMG A45 S!! So what do you think - is this all-new sports car worth the ‘cheap’ price? Keep watching to find out!

I'm wanting to drag race this car... But which cars should I race it against? Let me know and I'll try to make it happen!

The nose lift remembering 1000 locations is genuinely cool..

The computer limits the car to ~80% power until it is broken in...500 miles I believe but I could be wrong. So just think...3.6 seconds in "break in" mode. Not shabby at all. Tadge Juechter mentioned this in a video with Jay Leno. I did really enjoy this video though...very entertaining hosting.

Mat: it looks like a transformer
Editor: shows optimus prime who is a semi truck

[car_pal]

US price: very nice, interesting and affordable
EU price: INFINITE AMOUNT OF BILLIONS!

The mirror stalks aren't equal lengths because if they were, the passenger side A-pillar would obstruct the mirror, it's longer so you can see it from the inside.

16:37 Who else saw the economy go from 25 to 2 mpg🤣

[RellupNorth]

It’s programmed to 4500 rpm during the break in period. When it passes 500 miles that’s when it revs to 6500 and you get under 3 second 0-60.

"Looks like a Ferrari 360 that was drawn with a ruler"

Why did I say this in my head in Jeremy Clarkson's voice

When Carwow Doesn't Upload for one day







Me: So what exactly happened

[WishMount]

Matt your roof is off, you can’t do your speed test like that 😂😂

[a.m]

This car remind me the Nissan GT-R's debut back 2007. Same performance, same price tag.

[voonhouyin]

Who else is ticked off by the orange stitching not being aligned from the dash to mid tunnel on the passenger's side >:(

[EssentialRC]

Available in UK in 1-2 years for £50K or now from Clive Sutton for £132K. WHAT?! 😂

[masterhybrid]

Matt's like a little kid who finally saw a supercar its so fun to see him talk like that

[thulanibergman]

Mahnn I love Mat🤣🤣, S/O from South Africa🇿🇦❤

[turblown]

Matt you will definitely have to retest with a Corvette that's over 500 miles. Car starts out with a break in tune that drops the rev limiter and power until 500 miles then it will do 2.9 sec 60 easily and low 11's all day! Whoever buys this one tell them to come back. Nice video.

[tieningwang]

4500rpm redline means it is still in break-in period. So cool!

[harveywhite]

4:30 that stitching is pissing me off haha

For one, the stingray is iconic, and looking at the engine is a classic car owners dream to show in a show
