Corvette Mid-Engine 2020
A composite comprised of internet images.
A true, all-new Chevrolet Corvette is a rare occurrence. Throughout the brand’s history, Corvettes typically have gone many years between dramatic overhauls, punctuated by a midcycle update that freshens the exterior and interior while continuing to use the core mechanical bones. The 2020 Corvette Stingray marks a bold new chapter, with the iconic sports car moving from its traditional front-engine design to a midengine configuration.
This means a completely fresh look, with a design more akin to a Ford GT or a Ferrari than anything in Chevrolet’s production history. A large V8 engine has been placed behind the driver. And there is no more manual transmission. My, how things have changed.
Production for the eighth-generation Corvette (aka C8) will begin at the Bowling Green, Ky., factory in winter 2020. Pricing starts at $59,995, although finding one at that price may be a challenge. The 2LT version starts at $67,295, and it adds adjustable suspension, an upgraded stereo, heated/vented seats, and a head-up display. The current top version is the 3LT, at $71,945, which upgrades the interior with leather. Plus, there are many options that can further enhance the car’s appearance and performance.
