Corvette C8 revealed

[Barry]

Corvette C8 was revealed yesterday. I’m surprised it wasn’t posted here yet. 

They have dropped the FR setup and went for a MR setup so maybe we’ll see a car that can handle and compete with the likes of Ferrari and Porsche instead of just going fast in a straight line.

Personally I kinda like how it looks. It’s a bastard Ferrari Lamborghini lovechild but there’s still enough Chevy in it for you to tell it’s a Corvette.

Too Ferrari-ish and not enough Corvette Or maybe its just the red paint?

[Gaurav]

Or maybe it's just a side view

[Derick]

Indeed its super sexy American creation, screaming Chevy everywhere

[desertdude]

Ah looks better in these pics but a lot of Italian influence. Abiut time they ditched engine in the front tranmission in the rear setup.And hope got rid of the rear leaf spring suspension.

They did, I am sure they had to, there was no space with the 6.2 L engine at the back.
