The Mid-Engine Corvette We Finally Got
We are now entering the seventh year of the C8 Corvette, and it has been a huge success for Chevrolet. The C8 did everything better than any Corvette before. The 2023 Z06, 2024 E-Ra, ZR1, and ZR1X raised the bar to unimaginable levels.
The all-wheel-drive ZR1X just set a new Classified as Prototype/Pre-Production track record at Nurburgring with a time of 6:49.275. And ponder this: Chief Engineer, Tony Snow, recently said that his team isn’t done yet with the C8 platform. Perhaps something beyond the 1,250 horsepower. So, what took Chevrolet so long to go mid-engine? The short answer is the success of the Corvette since the C5, C6, and C7.
