Chevrolet Corvette
The year 2020 marks a revolutionary change for the Corvette, starting with quite a biggie: the engine location changes from forward to centre, a first in the history of the model that’s been with us since 1954. Most if not all other changes for the C8 flow from that move.
The cabin of the new Chevrolet Corvette C8 has been modernized with vertical climate controls and ultra-thin air vents that take up a minimum of space. The new flat, small-diameter steering wheel provides an unobstructed view of the 12-inch display screen that can be configured in front of the driver.
You also have stuff like a choice of six seat-belt colours, generous use of metal and carbon fiber accents, stainless steel speaker grilles with a 10- or 14-speaker Bose audio system. You can choose from six different interior colours including jet black, cool red, yellow and orange.Then there are three seating options, including the GT2's more race-inspired design, but with high-density foam for comfort.
For power, Chevrolet settled on its naturally aspirated 6.2L engine to produce 495 hp and 470 lb-ft, the highest performance in history for an entry-level Corvette engine.
For a base price just around $70,000, fans will get a lot of value for their money.
