2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Reveal - Finally, A Mid-Engine Corvette!

The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has been revealed, and Carlos Lago shares all the details in this video. That means, finally, you can stop frantically typing "2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 mid-engine" in your search engine.

What does the first mid-engine Corvette mean for performance? More of it. Relocating the drivetrain to the middle of the car means better braking, acceleration and handling. The 6.2-liter V8 makes 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, and it's connected to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic.

The radical structural change means an entirely new suspension design — coil-over dampers replace transverse leaf-springs — and Chevy says the mid-engine Corvette can generate nearly 1g laterally on all-season tires.

A few key Corvette elements remain. The roof is removable. The performance-enhancing optional Z51 package includes larger brake rotors, upgraded cooling, its own final drive ratio, front brake cooling and a performance exhaust. The clever electronically controlled limited-slip differential manages torque between the rear wheels. An upgraded version of Magnetic Ride Control is optional, as is Chevy's stellar Performance Traction Management system.

The biggest worry for Corvette traditionalists is cargo volume. There are now two trunks — one front and one rear — that offer a combined 12.6 cubic feet of space. Chevy says the front compartment can fit a carry-on-size bag and a laptop bag. Yet, total storage falls short of the last-generation Corvette, whose 15 cubic feet under its hatchback made it the world's most practical sports car.

It’s 2020 and we don’t have flying cars yet, but we do have a sub $60k mid engine corvette. Close enough future, close enough!!

[skny]

Supercar look and performance with a thank-you price.

No need to sell my body parts to buy Ferrari or Ford gt , thanks GM

[ThePaintballParadise]

Honestly, as someone who is in the market for a 718 gt4 this car's amazing value makes me seriously question buying the porsche.

[themisto]

Imagine showing this car to a person in the 80s or 90s. We wanted futuristic cars back then and here it is a 2020 Corvette. Gm really went for it here and it looks like they pulled it off.

Amazing car. Mid life crisis and classic corvette owners will be pissed but modern enthusiasts will love this car. Brilliant engineering on budget pricing

[BigHeadClan]

Good choice sending Carlos out for this event, he has one of the best corvette reviews put to video as far as I'm concerned and you can really feel his excitement....
Which is good because I think we are all pretty excited by the prosepect of a mid-engine super car that starts at 60K with a V8!

[pedrogiron]

This is what the NSX should have been. Well done GM.

[VEEZER]

I'm a Toyota fan but dang.
Chevy took a big fat dump on Toyotas forehead eh?
This car should be legendary

[seemanntricia]

That cheap for that car less than $60, 000 I thought it would be $150, 000 🤯🤯🤯🤯😱😱😱😀😀😀

[takumiwashiyama]

Usually I don’t like it when a car is heavily changed, but the C8 is just amazing. I love the C7 and the others and the difference just makes me like both even more.

[camilogomezkeep]

First Corvette I like since the original Stingray. Congratulations GM 🍾

[mrpmj]

Carlos is the best reviewer. He tells a story and is a skilled driver.

[paintedbird]

Your wife asks "Hey, Mike why is this car remember to lift up when we are near Jennifer's house?" Jennifer is her best friend.

[limpunsing]

Congratulations GM Job well done as promised and delivered!

[professorx]

Dont get me started on the Ford gt. All that performance and quality interior materials for that price the lc500, supra, rcf, 911 turbo, r8, gtr, nsx need to watch out because Chevy just killed it. 😎

[OldNewSweetRides]

It's time an affordable mid engine car can be bought by anyone with a well paying job instead of paying over 100K.

[rueben]

Thank you finally a real car guy gets the steering wheel. I was like it looks so appropriate and seems like it should function great but some "reviewers" seemed like they couldn't get it. I also like the HVAC on that trim....at least in video.

[jfguerrero]

I've been waiting forever for this Corvette. I waiting for the revelation video and started crying because this car means sooo much to me because a Corvette has been my dream car eventhough I can afford just about any car. I have my appointment this upcoming Monday to place my order. Thank tou

[chondal]

Thank you Carlos for the quick review. Looking forward to the driving review once you get your hands on it!
