2020–present Chassis C8 7 trims

The C8 is the eighth-generation Chevrolet Corvette and a landmark for the model: the first production Corvette with a rear mid-engine layout, ending the front-engine configuration that had defined every Corvette since 1953. The change reset the car's proportions and dynamics while keeping its value-focused performance ethos.

The base Stingray uses a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter LT2 V8 making 490 hp, or 495 hp with the performance exhaust, driving through an 8-speed Tremec dual-clutch transmission with no manual offered. So equipped with the Z51 package, it reaches 60 mph in roughly 2.9 seconds.

The lineup expands with the 670 hp, 5.5-liter flat-plane Z06, the hybrid all-wheel-drive E-Ray with 655 combined hp, and the twin-turbocharged ZR1 producing 1,064 hp.

Frequently asked

How much does a C8 Corvette cost?
The C8 Stingray started at $59,995 new and used cars begin in the mid-$50,000s. Z06 and ZR1 models run well into six figures.
Is a C8 faster than a Ferrari?
In a straight line, yes — a base C8 Stingray hits 60 mph in about 2.9 seconds, matching or beating Ferraris costing three times as much. The Z06 and ZR1 widen that gap further.
Why is the C8 Corvette so cheap?
Chevrolet builds it at scale on a domestic line with a pushrod V8, so it delivers supercar performance without the low-volume, hand-built cost structure of European rivals.
Is the C8 Corvette mid-engine?
Yes. The C8 is the first production Corvette with the engine mounted behind the seats, a layout every generation before it (C1–C7) did not use.
