The new C8 Corvette is an engineering moonshot, a marketing leap of faith, and a statement about what an American sports car can truly be. The iconic sports car has been reinvented. After decades of waiting, the Corvette switches from its traditional front-engine layout to a mid-engine platform, taking its performance capabilities even higher. That change results in a Corvette that looks more aggressive than ever. The cabin is nicely appointed and extremely driver-oriented, remedying past Corvettes’ interior qualms. It retains Corvette hallmarks like a removable roof panel and actual, usable cargo capacity. A powerful V-8 engine is mounted between the cabin and the rear axle, optimizing weight distribution and dynamic potential.
