Foresight is 2020: Introducing the Eighth Generation Chevrolet Corvette

What’s New:

• The Engine: The new Corvette is the first in the series to be mid-engined, putting it in the same company as the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and Ford GT. And there have been plenty of other upgrades made along the way.

• The Transmission: For the first time since 1955, the new Corvette will be automatic-only. While it will be possible to manually control the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, the actual shift changes won’t be mechanical. It’s all computers from here on out.

• The Suspension: After seven generations with leaf springs, the C8 has upgraded to a coil-spring suspension. 

• The Styling: Moving the engine from under the hood to behind the front seat means that the style of the Corvette will have to change. But don’t worry, there will still be plenty of classic Corvette touches, like the peaked front fenders and the nose’s center spear.

What You Need to Know:

• Availability: The vehicle will be going into production later this year, and it should be available for sale soon after production starts.

• Price: Pricing details haven’t been released yet, but the vehicle should start under $60,000 for the basic package. More bells and whistles will mean a higher price.

• 0 to 60: It’s tough to say for certain, since the vehicle isn’t available yet, but Chevrolet claims that the vehicle could get up to 60 in 3.0 seconds (with the Z51 performance package).
