The new Corvette C8 Stingray 2020 collects an excellent 7:28.30 at the legendary Nurburgring circuit, also beating the most recent Porsche 911 992 Carrera S . We await the times of future versions such as the Z06 and the legendary ZR1 . Ever since the presentation of the new Chevrolet Corvette C8 , many of the fans have wondered if it would have lived up to European sports, especially from the point of view of driveability. There is a legend, which in reality a little truth hides, that American cars would be good only for grinding speeds on the straight. To dispel this myth, Chevrolet has in fact redesigned the whole car, even moving the engine, abandoning that typically American configuration, which sees the engine positioned frontally and the traction all behind. In fact, the new Chevrolet Corvette C8 has a body capable of housing the engine in a central position , becoming in all respects a supercar, and no longer a sports car. The new Corvette 2020 has a 6.2-liter

All sold. Chevrolet has not yet officially started production of its new Corvette C8 , but reservations have gone so well that in fact all the units programmed for the American market have already been reserved. Of course, we're talking about a 60,000 dollar sports vehicle but not a one-off. Chevrolet will continue to offer its Corvette mid-engine and ideally i n the coming years the vehicle will also receive several updates . But those who dreamed of getting behind the wheel of the new acclaimed Stingray unfortunately will have to put their heart at rest: if they have not already ordered the car, they will have to wait. And also a lot. Production was ready to begin in these months, but strikes by GM plant staff have postponed the start of production in February 2020. Added to this is the fact that all 40,000 units of the Corvette C8 have already been reserved . Now we inevitably have to register on a waiting list, and wait for at least 2021. We do not know if the

If there is a car that you immediately think of when it comes to Hennessey, that's the Chevrolet Corvette . The relationship between the American company and the Texan tuner will certainly not stop with the market launch of the new Corvette, with Hennessey announcing that it will offer upgraded versions up to 1,200 hp of the new mid-engine C8 . " We expect the new Corvette C8 to be an excellent starting point to fully customize according to the taste of our customers, including power and performance ," said company founder John Hennessey. " In the last few months we have received hundreds of requests from C8 owners who want to know what we will offer in the future for the new Corvette; we have therefore created an online questionnaire that has already registered 250 completed forms. And every day more and more are arriving but all of them , more   or less, they ask the same thing: more power ". Power up to 1,200 hp Hennessey will initially offer

To beat a modern car do you need another modern car? Not even an idea: this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is able to humiliate some of the most famous modern supercars . A breathtaking video shows the determination of what, apparently, is a car of another era. Obviously behind these performances there is the hand of a skilled work of elaboration. Under the bonnet we find a 6.2L LT1 , an extremely high-performance V8 . Even the exhausts have been replaced with a version designed for sports use. The video in question was recorded during the 2018 Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack. The Chevrolet was able to win every single race, and also with a fairly solid margin. The vehicle touched s peed peaks between 252 and 280 km / h . A result to say the least amazing for a classic 1967 car. The LT1 engine was boosted thanks to the use of two turbos, with the result that the vehicle went from the original 460 hp associated with the engine to a power of 900CV . The vehicle was subjected to me

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
