New Corvette C8 is already sold-out: production has not been started!

-

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 in 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 data also refers to the convertible version, and Chevrolet did not respond in this regard: it would still be an amazing result. The first Chevrolet Corvettes C8 will be delivered towards the spring of 2020. The very first unit will instead be auctioned in January. The proceeds of the auction will go to the Detroit Children's Fund. Meanwhile, although production has yet to begin, Hennessey is already thinking of a 1200 hp Corvette.

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

Almost a year has passed since the official presentation of the latest generation Chevrolet Corvette , the C8 . Now, however, it seems that its extreme variant, the Z06 , is already in the process of running in the test phase to land on the market as soon as possible. As you can see from the spy images taken by the guys from  Motor1 , two specimens of Z06 have been caught and each of them shows its large exhausts in a central position.  The first model of Corvette Z06 is the one with a rigid roof, while the second is in a convertible version. It is not easy to understand it, given the really heavy camouflage, but by observing the roof lines of the second prototype well, you can see the solutions to the continuity of the lines. The most important change however concerns the exhaust system, which immediately catches the eye. The rumors about the next generation Z06 were going to reject the setup with outlets at the corners, and apparently proved to be true, even if the test vehicles hav

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
