Everything Corvette C8

The new Corvette C8 is one of those comeback cars like the new Toyota Supra creating a lot of hype.

What is it?

It is the most hardcore Corvette till date competing with the likes of McLaren 720s , Porsche 911 , Ferrari’s F8 and the Ford GT .

Price ?

The basic variant will cost below $60,000 expected.

What to offer ?

the engine itself. Welcome to the new LT2. It’s still a 6.2-liter V8 and, at least in this initial flavor, it eschews forced induction. Where the base C7 made 455 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, however, this new one does 495 hp and 470 lb-ft — or it will with the optional performance exhaust, at least. Without said exhaust, output numbers drop to 490 and 465, respectively. Dry-sump lubrication is standard, meaning a smaller oil pan and more consistent oil pressure on the track. That smaller oil pan sits the engine lower in the bay, which looks like it makes room for a supercharger in there.
The new C8 will have a 0-60 mph time of less than 3 seconds. Chevrolet isn’t quoting an exact time yet, but considering the outgoing ZR1 needed 755 hp to clock in at 2.8 seconds, that’s mighty impressive.

One thought on “Everything Corvette C8

  1. An intriguing discussion is definitely worth comment.
    I do believe that you need to publish more on this subject, it may not be a taboo subject but generally people don’t speak about such subjects.
    To the next! All the best!!
