Chevrolet Corvette C8: the new generation, passing from the classic configuration with front engine and rear-wheel drive to the new mechanical scheme with central engine and rear-wheel drive, will enjoy new shapes and unprecedented proportions.
The curiosity around the new Chevrolet Corvette C8 increases more and more: after the numerous spy photos and footage of the forklifts used in the tests, the debut in the world of high performance cars of the new generation of the stars and stripes supercar is getting closer. However, the American brand has not yet officially pronounced in this regard, not communicating the date of presentation of the new model.
It has been said several times that the new Corvette, seen traditionally the symbol of American sportiness par excellence, would have been unveiled in one of the classic American car saloons: this being the case, at best the new C8 could be officially presented at the upcoming Detroit Motor Show 2019 (13-28 January) or perhaps on the occasion of the New York Motor Show (19-28 April).
Chevrolet Corvette C8 will enjoy a style influenced by the new proportions
Waiting for the presentation, beyond the classic sightings of some forklifts still disguised during the test tests, the new Corvette C8 renderings are multiplied on the web: among many, a place of merit certainly deserves a work by Charles Cronley, a user of the Corvette Forum who launched an idea of how the future Corvette C8 could be.
The rendering is the graphic result of a study developed by Cronley himself who, in order to give life to his graphic reconstruction, meticulously observed the images and videos that until today have immortalized on the road the pre-owned forklifts of the new Corvette C8. Therefore, no space to the imagination, but only the attempt to faithfully reconstruct the stylistic features of the new Corvette C8 observed through previous photos and spy videos.
In doing so, Cronley gave life to a personal interpretation of the new C8, while trying to remain as faithful as possible to what was actually seen on the prototypes.
The shapes of the Corvette C8 are a consequence of the new mechanical scheme
The new Chevrolet Corvette C8 will be a sport that somehow will deny its tradition as it will be the first generation in 65 years of history to enjoy a centrally mounted engine (to be sure in 1964 Chevrolet gave birth to a prototype of Corvette characterized by the presence of a centrally mounted engine).
Precisely because of the unprecedented technical setting that always requires rear-wheel drive but the engine mounted behind the cockpit, the new Corvette C8 will be characterized by the proportions of the new mechanical scheme: in this sense the future Corvette C8 will have a pretty short nose , a cabin in an advanced position and a longer tail than previous generations.
In the same way, the presence of the engine (or of the propellers) in a central position has required the Chevrolet engineers to design specific lateral air intakes to allow good cooling of the same. Also worthy of note is the presence in the renderings of unprecedented air vents integrated into the sides of the rear window, the latter solution required to expel hot air from the engine compartment. At the rear, finally, the presence of a voluminous air extractor imposed the displacement of the exhausts from the center towards the outside.
Genovation presented at the Ces of Las Vegas the production version of the GXE , an electrical evolution of the iconic Corvette . Being a real conversion, the eight-cylinder of the American sport was eliminated and replaced with an electric motor of 800 hp and 948 Nm connected to the serial transmission: the GXE is in fact available both with a manual gearbox with seven speeds , both with an a utomatic transmission . Unique details Compared to Corvettes with traditional power, the sporty zero emissions is characterized by a new front design with small size air intakes and aerodynamic details that are extremely different from the traditional 'Vette. In addition to the front splitter, the new bumper and the modified bonnet, the GXE features a large carbon fiber extractor mounted at the rear and combined with a modified wing and new LED light clusters integrated into the tail which is almost completely redesigned compared to the standard model. The finish of th...
The Corvette, the C8, shows impressive numbers for a model in that category. The new C8 Corvette is finally in the hands of lucky customers across the country who have spent decades waiting for the legendary mid-engined Corvette . The C8 Corvette has a lot to prove with its brand new engine configuration and dual clutch transmission. The mid-engine layout will certainly have a profound impact on handling, but what does it do for straight-line performance? Chevrolet claims that the C8 Corvette can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.9 seconds . Vehicles like the Nissan GTR, the Porsche 911 Turbo S, the Ferrari 488 GTB and the Acura NSX are all concerned about the impressive performance of the Corvette. Many speculated that that time there was optimistic considering how impressive a time from 0 to 100 under three seconds is. Can you get this time on the road where most Corvettes will spend most of their time? Many speculated that this time was optimistic considering h...
After years of waiting, including spy photos, rumors and teasers, the Chevrolet removed the veils from the first Corvette with a central engine , the C8 . The new architecture has led the American sports car to clearly break away from the past, both in terms of the proportions of the bodywork, and for the style, totally revised to bring the American supercar into a new era. For the moment the Corvette has formalized data and information on what should be the entry-level variant of the sports car, the Stingray which, with its 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine , will be positioned at the base of the offer with prices that, in the United States, should start below $ 60,000 (€ 53,309). Behind the passenger compartment there is a 6.2 liter LT2 V8 derived from the previous LT1 . Mounted longitudinally and combined with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive , the only naturally aspirated eight-cylinder in this categ...
