2020 Corvette: The Eighth Generation: A Gallery

Aug. 25, 2020
Here's a preview of the classic car's newest mid-engine incarnation.

The 2020 Corvette from Chevrolet is the eighth major redesign since the iconic American sports car was introduced in 1953, making it the eighth generation (or C8). It’s still a two-seater with a removable roof panel, and is still powered by a naturally aspirated V8, but there are some changes. The engines been moved to behind the seats for better weight distribution. And those seats, along with the dashboard, have been moved forward about 16 in. for better visibility and to make room for the engine.

Here are some shots of the car and some of its features.
