I have no doubt that this C8 will be a good, fast car.
I'm also pretty certain it will be an ugly car. Shame, as the last 4 generations of 'Vette were great looking cars, even if in a plasticy kind of way. Has anyone seen an early C4 lately? Their simple & lithe shape has really aged well, especially from the rear.
Good glob GM that thing looks hideous.
That design will probably be prone to recalls. No wonder people are acting so strange about it now.Leaked image of C8
That doesn't look right. Looks like two cars (profile photo) put together.
tbf, the Corvette has always had a really cheaply made rear end
It looks like the C7, which was already a little derivative and absurdly try-hard when it was new 6 years ago, stretched out over a body with completely different proportions.
Probably to make it appear more aggressive, I guess.https://jalopnik.com/is-this-the-mid-engine-corvette-before-youre-supposed-t-1836217793
Looks great IMHO and I don't mind the back end either... Although confused why they went more Camaro than Stingray with the taillights.
Gonna go with a no on that. They’ve got GTLM to worry about, and GT3 is basically Callaway’s territory.Any word if Corvette are looking into GT3 and GT4 categories?
Putting the design topic aside, is it true Chevy said that they will still utilize the dated 6.2L pushrod V8 on this MR Corvette? That's according to this article. I thought they will use a newer powerful engine on this one.
Well, I know already about the cheaper manufacturing costs that comes with the said design but putting it on a MR layout sports car? Seriously? I don't know and I bet nobody would take my word for it but for some weird reasons, I just find that one to be so hilarious.I'm going to guess it's a move to keep price hikes as small as possible. There's nothing inherently wrong with the design either, especially the use of pushrods.
Bu... but I love those conceptsUgh, that latest leak looks like those old Bahar Lotus concepts made real. It's getting worse

Its debut is already set next week, July 18.

Clarkson hasn't even been on Top Gear for four years now. You don't have to try so hard.Well, I know already about the cheaper manufacturing costs that comes with the said design but putting it on a MR layout sports car? Seriously?

And it seems doubtful to call this model an all-new if they're still going to use an engine block that's already a decade old.
