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 speed 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 meticulous maintenance work before it could accommodate such a power - so it was clearly not originally conceived.
It would be interesting to see a comparison between this doped Stingray and the new mid-engine generation, the C8 able to do from 0 to 100 in 2.9 seconds!
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...
The new Chevrolet Corvette C8 could be unveiled soon: in the meantime the road tests of the future American sports car will be intensified. For the first time in the history a Corvette will be distinguished by the presence of the propeller mounted in a central position instead of anterior. The new Chevrolet Corvette C8 should be unveiled by the end of 2018 or at most within the first few months of 2019. The next generation of the American sport par excellence is still engaged in the long and challenging phase of testing that is seeing it as a protagonist already by some months. In fact, the American brand is investing a lot of energy to test and develop in the best way the future C8, a supercar that surely will mark a great turning point in its history thanks to an innovative technical layout compared to tradition. The first central-engine Corvette ... or almost! In fact, the new C8 will be the first Corvette to enjoy the technical scheme that provides for the ad...

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.
