The first mid-engined Corvette, and GM’s first mid-engined production car of any kind since the Pontiac Fiero: a decision the company had reportedly considered and rejected for decades, finally made in 2020 on an all-new aluminium structure with no manual transmission offered at all.[1] The naturally aspirated Stingray and Z06 sit alongside newer hybrid variants (the E-Ray and Grand Sport X add a front electric motor for all-wheel drive, and the range-topping ZR1X pairs that with a twin-turbocharged flat-plane V8), none of which are broken out as separate trims here because Chevrolet does not publish a combined output figure for the front motor and rear engine independent of each other.
Every acceleration figure Chevrolet or the press quotes for this car is a 0-60 mph time, never a 0-100 km/h time measured on its own terms, so no zero-to-100 km/h figure is recorded for any C8 trim here; converting the imperial figure would misstate a different test as if it were this one.
