Mid-Engine C8 Corvette

[Setec Astronomy]

I'm sure you guys are way ahead of me on this, but it's hard for me to believe this is actually happening, they've been talking about doing this for what, forever? In recent years the Corvette may have had the performance of an exotic car, now it will actually BE an exotic car! Cool stuff.

I'm hoping Chevy actually expands the Corvette line into two separate cars; a traditional front engine, RWD sports car and a mid-engined, whatever drive car.

While the Z06 and the Viper are amazing cars by all accounts it seems they are starting to hit the limits of what their traditional engine/drive layout can deliver. If Chevy wants to dip their toes in the super car market they are going to have to do something different. On the other hand, the Corvette has always been a unique beast able to deliver performance for cost like nothing else on the market. I hope Chevy doesn't abandon that place in the market.

I'll never hit a point in my life where I could own a supercar, but I could see myself taking rank with the stereotypical Corvette owner (older, empty nest type) in due time. Although a Cayman is a pretty nice option as well...

Officially still a concept (several test mules are out)... but Fords GT certainly a thorn to GM. I suspect it's not to far off this time.

Viper is currently DOA ... plant closes at years end. The new ACR model was supposed to be the last bang.

Looks like a killer but it's kinda underpowered for a car tat is not even in production.The ctsv has more hp.my personal opinion is all wheel drive,that can compete with the rest of the gtr and Lamborghini etc.If they can give it more power and more of a racetrack car and keep the cost down they have a winner.Still a beautiful automobile.

I just hope its called Corvette something or another, not ZR1. IMO they should honor the father of the car and called it the ZORA and drop the mic

I hope it doesn't look like that bottom image. That looks like a C6 meets a last generation NSX. I would think it would have more radical lines than a C7. We shall wait and see. Maybe the test mule is wearing generic body panels to completely throw off us speculators.

I'm hoping the Corvette has some of the awesome design elements as the Ford GT, LaFerrari, McLaren P1, or Porsche 918. These cars are art
