C8 Mid engined Corvette first look

First look at the new C8 Corvette.

Since it's it's introduction in 1953, the Corvette has always been front engined. But designers have always envisioned it to eventually become mid engined; and that time has finally come.

The Corvette Stingray will be starting at under $60,000 way less than what everyone thought it would be for a mid engined Corvette.

The Corvette is still powered by a traditional V8, however it does away with its manual transmission option for double clutch gearbox.

The V8 LT2 engine produces 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque when it's equipped with the optional performance exhaust and we are told that it will do 0-62mph/100kph in under 3 seconds. 


Coming in at this price it puts it almost straight in the range of the new Toyota Supra that costs $57,000 comment below which one you would take.
