2020 Chevrolet Corvette

This is the moment we have been waiting for. The all-new mid-engine 2020 Corvette Stingray is here. When reinventing this iconic automobile, the creators broke barriers with a Corvette so advanced that the world of sports cars may never be the same. It is nothing less than the democratization of the supercar. In naming the Stingray the 2020 Motor Trend Car of the Year, the editors have declared…The mid-engine Corvette is a game changer, an inflection point and a reminder that when Americans truly set our minds to a task, look out. Car and Driver said…With incredible performance at an incredible price, the C8 Corvette is also the best Corvette yet. Why mid-engine? First, this puts the weight of the engine over the rear-driving wheels to enhance traction. With the engine located behind the cockpit, there is more forward visibility. And with the seats positioned closer to the front wheels, the driver and passenger are located at the cars center of gravity. The result is instant response, a feeling that the car is rotating around you. With the extra traction on the rear wheels and nothing but the road ahead, you can dive quickly into a corner under braking and accelerate out smoothly. The Stingray is born to make your confidence soar. The mid-engine architecture dictated an all-new shape for Stingray with a polite nod to its proud heritage. Sweeping new proportions and a wide stance dominate your view There has never been a Corvette cockpit this well-suited to enthusiast driving. Your driving position is some 16 inches forward compared to the previous generation, which puts you firmly in control. The low front cowl makes it even easier to see, while a racing-style steering wheel with paddle shifters keeps the view pure and also provides extra knee room. The heart of the all-new Stingray is a 6.2L LT2 aluminum small block V8 engine. Now in fifth-generation form, it is more compact yet more powerful with 490 standard horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque.
