These new EV spinoffs will reportedly aim to distill the “essence of Corvette” in terms of design and driving dynamics. BY GEORG KACHER PUBLISHED: NOV 29, 2022 CHEVROLET What’s in a name? When you are a carmaker, the answer is: everything. Arguably, people buy a BMW or a Benz at least as much for the name as for the car itself, and the same goes for Corvette. In terms of brand value, Corvette is among the auto...

See how America’s sports car went from a country-club cruiser to a performance icon. BY GREG FINK JUL 22, 2019 CAR AND DRIVER Chevrolet was in a sales slump in the early 1950s, and like many within the bow-tie division’s ranks, brand manager Thomas Keating was eager to reverse course. His solution? Ordering up a sports car for General Motors’ bread-and-butter nameplate. Produced under the code name Project Opel, the sports car was a distinctly American take...
Overview With a lineage that stretches back to the 1950s, the Chevrolet Corvette is a mainstay of performance-car culture, and the current C8 model takes that tradition to a new place with a 490-hp V-8 engine mounted behind the passenger compartment and a still-affordable price tag. Performance in the supercar range and surgically precise handling make the Corvette a track day darling when equipped with the Z51 package—but its ride over rough stretches is unexpectedly smooth...

By Keith Cornett June 1, 2020 It was just about a month ago that CorvetteBlogger contributor Jeremy Welborn offered up this video on the proper jack and lift points for the 2020 Corvette after witnessing a video showing the C8 Corvette that was lifted in the wrong place. Because the weight distribution is now 40/60 with the engine behind the driver, you have to have the jack or lift mounted to the chassis locations properly or the unthinkable could...
Hennessey Performance Engineering wasted no time getting to work on the mid-engine 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The Texas tuner added nitrous oxide to the recently released sports car, then took it out for a top-speed run and achieved a claimed 205.1 mph. That speed was reached at the Continental Tire Proving Ground in Uvalde, Texas, and May 8, and was confirmed with a VBox data logger, according to HPE. Former General Motors engineer John Heinricy drove...
Sam McEachern — May 11, 2020 The mid-engine Corvette C8 appears more like an exotic vehicle than any of the Vettes that have preceded it. While car enthusiasts will certainly know a Corvette C8 when they see one, we wouldn’t be surprised if some less informed folks mistake the C8 for a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. For those owners who want to lean into the exotic look of the Corvette C8 even more – and perhaps fool even more...
Bryan Hood May 8, 2020 The 2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette, the first to feature a mid-engine layout, is easily one of the most anticipated American cars in recent memory. It also may turn out to be one of the rarest. Thanks to two major production delays, only 2,700 examples of the new ‘Vette had rolled off the line by the time production was halted at General Motors’s Bowling Green plant in March because of...
