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 veh...

Chevrolet Corvette C8 : the new generation of american supercars will not be presented at the Detroit Motor Show and will hardly debut at the Geneva Motor Show or the New York Motor Show There is no doubt that the Chevrolet Corvette C8 is one of the most anticipated upcoming supercars over the next few months. The American manufacturer has been testing the new generation for some time, which apparently will be a big step forward compared to the current model, especially as regards the new technical layout that will provide a very important change. As repeatedly anticipated on these pages, the new Corvette C8 will represent a real appointment with the story as for the first time will enjoy the engine mounted centrally in place of the classic positioned at the front. In fact, back in 1964, Chevrolet created a Corvette prototype characterized by the presence of a propeller mounted behind the passenger compartment: in detail Zora Arkus-Duntov , as well as being the first ...

Chevrolet Corvette C8 : the new generation, passing from the classic configuration with front engine and rear-wheel drive to the new mechanical scheme with central engine and rear-wheel drive, will enjoy new shapes and unprecedented proportions. The curiosity around the new Chevrolet Corvette C8 increases more and more: after the numerous spy photos and footage of the forklifts used in the tests, the debut in the world of high performance cars of the new generation of the stars and stripes supercar is getting closer. However, the American brand has not yet officially pronounced in this regard, not communicating the date of presentation of the new model. It has been said several times that the new Corvette , seen traditionally the symbol of American sportiness par excellence, would have been unveiled in one of the classic American car saloons: this being the case, at best the new C8 could be officially presented at the upcoming Detroit Motor Show 2019 (13-28 January) or perha...

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...

The development of the new Corvette C8 continues, with the task of writing a new chapter in the history of the model: sixty-five years after the debut of the first series, it will adopt a centrally mounted power unit . After a series of shots from afar collected in recent months, the photographers have managed to bring the prototypes closer, allowing us to see new details of the American sports car , whose presentation is expected during this year. Although the camouflage, the car has very different proportions compared to previous generations, with a short snout, a forward-facing cockpit, a sloping roofline and a long tail.   This last portion lets you glimpse squared lines combined with a compact size rear window and four exhaust terminals. Not only that: observing the images with more attention you can also notice a small camera near the roof, which will most likely be used for driver assistance systems, in order to increase visibility during maneuvering. Chevr...
