AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/19 Report--

Corvette has always occupied an important position in the minds of Americans. After more than 6 years of waiting, Corvette finally ushered in another generation. The new car is a mid-engine supercar, which is also very different from the cash of the front and rear drive, and the LOGO has also made some changes, replacing the white flag with a younger fighting black.

Learned from the relevant media, the official launch of the code name C8, the biggest difference between the new car and previous models is the use of a mid-engine body form, while the appearance style is more radical. At the same time, the new car will be equipped with a 6.2L V8 engine with a maximum power of 502hp and a 0-96km/h acceleration time of 3 seconds.

In terms of appearance, due to the change from the front rear drive of the C7 to the middle rear drive layout, the front and rear of the Corvette C8 is shorter than that of the previous generation, and the front and rear ratio of the whole vehicle is obviously different from that of the cash. The V-shaped LED daylight is very recognizable, and the quadrilateral outline design is more inclined to the mainstream style.

The design of the rear part of the car is also very sharp, with a smoked interior of the raised taillights and two broken-line red LED strips. As a classic American-style high-performance sports car, this generation pays more attention to the aerodynamic design of the car body, and replaces the bilateral four-out exhaust from the middle four-out exhaust layout of the previous generation.

In terms of interior decoration, the new car adopts an embracing central control design, and the vehicle control area is basically biased to one side of the driver's seat. secondly, the biggest highlight of the interior design is the "strip" control button on the side of the passenger car, which covers a number of performance state adjustment buttons. In addition, the new car also uses a brand-new button shift mechanism, which makes the atmosphere in the car more futuristic.

The Corvette C8 will be equipped with 6.2L V8, 4.2T V8 and 5.5T V8 engines depending on the vehicle model. in addition, the top model may be equipped with a hybrid system, with twin-turbocharged V8 engines and battery packs, with a combined maximum power around 1000Ps.
