Corvette C8 2020 by Hennessey Performance - First Test!

-



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 gauntlet to make the Detroit supercar achieve insane performance.

What do you think? Would you like to drive it right now, huh? Well, you have to fly to Texas, try to contact Hennessey, you never know, maybe they leave you the keys for a ride ...

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
