The arrival of the Chevrolet Corvette C8 has revolutionized the identity of the American sports car: after decades of rumors the central engine has arrived, changing the behavior on the road and the meaning that the new generations will give to the " Vette " brand. A different and more technologically advanced sports car: the year zero was also for tuners. It is no coincidence that the generous offer of the tuners, which had characterized the previous generations, is now greatly reduced. Thanks to ProCharger today we have the opportunity to see, and above all hear, the first Corvette C8 equipped with a volumetric compressor . The 6.2-liter LT2 V8 goes from 502 to an impressive 708 hp ! One of the major obstacles to the Corvette's new generation aftermarket treatments is its ECU, now hacker-proof and once reprogrammable and key to balanced processing. Prior to ProCharger, Extreme Turbo Systems had bypassed the safety system and equipped the Vette C8 with a tur

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 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

1.200 HP OBJECTIVE - The first Corvette of 2020 took the path of Hennessey Performance Engineering . Thanks to a couple of turbos, the tuning company had announced that it wanted to get 1,200 hp from the supercar. The car is already in operation, although it could take some time before seeing them touch 1,200: Hennessey has in fact revealed that the transmission control unit is impossible to modify and it is not known when it will be able to develop it. Consequently, it will need the support of the parent company to make the most of the twin-turbo configuration. FIRST TEST - Even without intervening on the Corvette control unit, the tuner was not discouraged and put the car on the test bench recording something like 675 HP, 180 HP more than the 495 in the standard configuration . Of course Hennessey will not be the first or the last to try to derive extra performance from the new Corvette C8: waiting for their 1,200 hp monster, we will see who else will throw the gaun

The audience in Scottsdale, Arizona , is now accustomed to the Barrett-Jasckson expensive sports car auctions , which also gave a lot of show this year. In fact, a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C8 was sold. Not just any Stingray but the C8 VIN 001 , the first produced by the American Chevy factories . An element that obviously pushed the price up, even reaching 3 million dollars - and the C8 2020 starts from a price of 60,000 dollars. To place the winning offer was Rick Hendrick , Founder and CEO of the Hendrick Automotive Group. The proceeds from the sale, to which must also be added the shares of a Toyota Supra ($ 2.1 million) and a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 ($ 1.1 million), will be donated to the Detroit Children's Fund, an organization not -profit which aims to improve the quality of schools in the Detroit area. Returning to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C8 number 001 , we are talking about a red car and black interior with always red s
