The Chevrolet Corvette (C8) is the eighth generation of the Corvette sports car manufactured by American automobile manufacturer Chevrolet. It is the first rear mid-engine Corvette since the model's introduction in 1953, differing from the traditional front mid-engine design started in 1963. The C8 was announced in April 2019, and the coupe made its official debut on July 18, 2019, in Tustin, California. The convertible made its debut in October 2019 during a media event at the Kennedy Space Center to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. Production officially began on February 3, 2020, delayed by the 2019 General Motors strike.
Two variants of the C8 would go racing globally. The base model Corvette would serve as the basis for the Chevrolet Corvette C8.R, debuting in July 2019, later going on to win the 2020 and 2021 IMSA SportsCar Championships and the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship.[5][6] It would later be succeeded by the Z06-based Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R in 2024, following the discontinuation of the LM GTE class.[7]
Overview
The Corvette C8 is GM's first rear mid-engine sports car since the Pontiac Fiero. It features a vastly different design from previous Corvettes, with an all-new aluminum architecture and coilover springs in place of the rear transverse mono-leaf spring used on prior models. The exterior features more aggressive aerodynamics including larger air intakes and prominent side scoops. A trunk is located at the rear, with additional storage space at the front of the car. Combined, these provide 13 cuft of cargo space, 2 cuft less than that of the C7. As a result of the switch to a mid-engine layout, the passenger cell has been shifted forward by 16.5 in. The cockpit has been designed to be driver-centric, with numerous controls mounted on the center console as well as utilizing a new hexagonal steering wheel. A 12 in digital screen replaces the instrument cluster and reflects one of the six driving modes selected, and is accompanied by an 8 in touchscreen. A special Z button is located on the steering wheel; named in honor of earlier performance packages like Z51, Z06, and ZR1, it allows the driver to quickly activate customized performance settings.
Stingray
Trim levels and options
Three trim levels are currently available, 1LT, 2LT and 3LT, augmented by three suspension setups, FE1, FE3 and FE4 which correspond with the two Z51 Performance packages. In addition, three seat options are also available: GT1, GT2 and Competition Sport. The interior is upholstered in leather, Microsuede or performance textile with carbon fiber or aluminum trims. A Performance Data Recorder has been upgraded with a higher resolution camera as well as a new interface. GM's virtual camera mirror is optional, which projects video from the backup camera onto the rear-view mirror.
Engine
The Stingray uses a new version of the LS-based GM small-block engine derived from the C7 Stingray's LT1, now called the LT2. The new naturally aspirated 6.2 L OHV V8 with crossplane crankshaft is rated at 490 hp at 6,450 rpm and 465 lbft of torque at 5,150 rpm, an improvement of 40 hp and 10 lbft over the outgoing LT1. The engine uses a dry sump lubrication system. Like the LT1, the LT2 features Active Fuel Management, or cylinder deactivation, which is used when the car is subjected to low load scenarios such as highway cruising.
The engine has two radiators, one on each side in the front. The Z51 package includes a third radiator, a radiator on the rear driver's side, cooling both engine oil and transmission lubricant, taking air in through the rear quarter panel opening.
The optional NPP sport exhaust system brings the total power output to 495 hp and torque to 470 lbft. Chevrolet says that the C8 can accelerate to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds when equipped with the optional Z51 package; Car and Driver recorded an adjusted time of 2.8 seconds.
Transmission
The Stingray is only offered with an 8-speed dual-clutch automated transmission made by Tremec, with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. No manual transmission option is available. The only other model years not offered with a manual transmission were the 1953–1954 C1 and the 1982 C3.
Suspension
The base model of the Stingray comes with unequal length double wishbone suspension at the front and rear axles made from forged aluminum. Monotube shock absorbers are standard at all four wheels. The car can be equipped with a front-axle lifting height adjustable suspension system that can add 40 mm of ground clearance at speeds under 25 mph.
The Z51 package adds a performance-tuned adjustable suspension with higher front and rear spring rates and firmer dampers. The front shocks, on vehicles without hydraulic front lift, and the rear shocks, have threaded spring seats that allow adjustment of the preload on the coil springs.
Magnetic Selective Ride Control is an available option for all trims and levels. On Z51 equipped Corvettes, Magnetic Selective Ride Control includes Performance Traction Management and electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD).
Wheels
The Stingray is equipped with 19 in (front) and 20 in (rear) alloy wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport ALS tires, with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires available as a part of the Z51 performance package. All-season tires are used on base models for better grip. The exact tire dimensions are 245/35ZR-19 at the front and 305/30ZR-20 at the rear. The standard brakes are four-piston Brembo ventilated discs with diameters of 12.6 in at the front and 13.6 in at the rear. The Z51 package provides upgraded and enlarged brakes measuring 13.3 in at the front and 13.8 in at the rear.
Technology
The C8 Corvette debuted with an 8-inch infotainment screen in a driver-centric cockpit. It comes standard with Chevrolet's Infotainment 3 Plus system. Standard features include Bluetooth connectivity, 4G hotspot, and both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Higher trims are equipped with a 14-speaker Bose audio system and navigation options. Additional technology features include a Performance Data Recorder package for 2LT and 3LT trim levels as well as a camera based rear-view mirror. The 2020 Corvette was the first year Chevrolet introduced over-the-air updates to the Corvette lineup. This allows Chevrolet to send updates to the vehicle remotely. Chevrolet used this capability to resolve a front trunk recall for the 2020 Corvettes.
Right-hand-drive (RHD)
For the first time since the 1953 introduction of the Corvette (C1), the current generation Corvette is offered in right-hand-drive configuration for the Australian, New Zealand, Japanese, and UK markets. The Corvette (C8) is General Motors' only RHD vehicle to be assembled in the factory rather than converted from left-hand-drive. After the pre-sale announcement, 300 RHD Corvettes were sold within 60 hours: a record for Corvette sales in Japan and three times the annual sales number for its LHD predecessor. The introduction of the RHD Corvette to the Australian market was delayed to the middle of 2021 due to the reorganization of Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) into General Motors Specialty Vehicles (GMSV) which also brings GM vehicles into New Zealand. Only 200 RHD Corvettes will be sold in Australia per year, and the price is set at A$149,990 with higher performance versions above A$200,000. The first sales of the RHD C8 in New Zealand were 28 cars in 2022.
Grand Sport
The Grand Sport was unveiled on March 21, 2026 with a new 6.7 liter V8, with availability in late 2026 for the 2027 model year.[8]
Z06
The Z06 is an LT6-powered version of the Corvette, unveiled on October 26, 2021; it entered production in 2022 as a homologation vehicle for the 2023 model year.
Trim levels and options
The Z06 has three trim levels adding various interior comfort and technology upgrades: 1LZ, 2LZ, and 3LZ. Additionally, the Z07 Performance Package can be applied to any trim, adding improved brakes, carbon fiber aerodynamic elements, suspension tuning, and performance tires.
Engine
The Z06 uses the new naturally aspirated 5.5 L LT6 flat-plane crank DOHC V8, producing 670 hp at 8,400 rpm, 460 lbft of torque at 6,300 rpm. Redlined at 8,600 rpm, the LT6 surpasses the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series' M159 engine to become the most powerful naturally aspirated production V8. A modified version of this engine has powered the Chevrolet Corvette C8.R since 2019, and many features in the racing engine carry over to the road engine. Other features of this new engine include a cast aluminum block, dual coil valve springs supporting titanium intake & sodium filled exhaust valves, forged aluminum pistons, forged titanium connecting rods, active split intake manifold with twin 87mm throttle bodies, four-into-two-into-one stainless steel exhaust headers, and a factory six-stage 10-quart dry sump oiling system with individual crank bay scavenging. A feature the LT6 shares with other Chevrolet small blocks and the GM LS small block that succeeded them is the bore spacing of 4.4 inches.
Transmission
The Z06 uses the same 8-speed dual-clutch transmission used by Stingray models, albeit with a shorter 5.56:1 final drive ratio for improved acceleration. Chevrolet says this allows the Z06 to accelerate from 0–60 mph in 2.6 seconds.
Suspension
The Z06 features the same basic suspension setup as the Stingray, however, the electronic limited-slip differential and magnetic ride adaptive suspension system are now standard for all Z06 trims. The Z07 Performance Package includes the FE7 track-oriented suspension setup.
Wheels
The Z06's body has been widened to accommodate larger wheels and thicker tires. The wheels have diameters of 20 in at the front and 21 in at the rear, and are available with standard alloy or optional carbon fiber rims. The tires have dimensions of 275/30ZR20 at the front and 345/25ZR21 at the rear, and the Z07 Performance Package comes standard with Michelin Cup 2 R ZP performance tires. Chevrolet says that the optional carbon fiber wheels, supplied by Australian manufacturer Carbon Revolution, shave off 41 lbs of unsprung weight.
Aerodynamics
The base Z06 comes with a front splitter and a rear spoiler. Under the splitter are stall gurneys to reduce drag. Included with the rear spoiler is an installable fixed Gurney flap, which when installed produces 365 lbs pounds more downforce at 300 kph. The Z07 carbon fiber performance package adds a larger front-splitter, front corner canards (dive planes), a pedestal mounted rear wing, and underbody aero strakes, and removes the stall gurneys under the splitter for additional downforce. Chevrolet says that with all these equipped and in the track configuration, the Z06 is capable of 1.22g lateral acceleration on a skidpad.
Performance
Chevrolet reported a 10.6-second quarter-mile time for the Z06 model when equipped with the Z07 package. The C8 Z06 is able to reach top speeds of 195 mph. The Z06 model posted a 7:11.826 lap time around Germany's famed Nürburgring race track.[11]
E-Ray
The E-Ray performance hybrid version of the C8 Corvette was unveiled on January 17, 2023. Similar to the Grand Sport model from the previous C7 generation, a significant portion of the Z06 body is reused for the E-Ray with different badging. Also, 21" rear and 20" front wheel sizes are ported from the Z06 with some unique wheel options for the E-Ray. The 6.2 L engine, DCT transmission, and performance exhaust components are reused from the C8 Stingray model. Performance hybrid 1.9 kWh battery assembly, electric motor drive assembly, regenerative braking, hybrid electronics, and hybrid cooling system are new to the E-Ray model. The E-Ray entered production as a 2024 model year Corvette. At initial product launch, it was the quickest production Corvette ever made, as well as the first with all wheel drive, and the first performance hybrid.
Trim levels and options
The E-Ray has three trim levels adding various interior comfort and technology upgrades: 1LZ, 2LZ, and 3LZ. Additionally, a ZER Performance Package can be applied to any trim. It includes summer only tires, a rear spoiler wicker extension, but no chassis tuning. The E-Ray comes standard with Performance Brembo Carbon Ceramic brakes and an eAWD drivetrain with no mechanical linkage between rear and front drivetrains.
Performance
Chevrolet reported a 10.5-second quarter-mile time and a 0–60 mph time of 2.5 seconds, making it the quickest Corvette up to the initial E-Ray production date. The 6.2 L engine and performance exhaust combination produces 495 hp and 470 lbft to the rear wheels, like the Stingray Z51 model. The performance hybrid electric drive system gives an additional 160 hp and 125 lbft to the front of the vehicle for overall totals of 655 hp and 595 lbft. The C8 E-Ray is able to reach top speeds of 183 mph.
Modes
Two new electric modes for E-Ray only are Shuttle and Stealth modes. Shuttle Mode is not intended for public roads and will allow up to 15 mph. Shuttle Mode has a typical range of about 4 to 5 miles depending on the performance hybrid battery starting state of charge, vehicle speed, terrain, and other driving conditions. Stealth Mode allows for all-electric driving at a maximum speed of 45 mph, designed for quietly leaving the neighborhood with a range of up to 4 miles, depending on similar conditions as Shuttle Mode. Both Shuttle and Stealth Modes have a special sound emitted from a speaker mounted within the grille at the front of the vehicle for warning pedestrians that the vehicle is in electric only mode without any sound from the exhaust of the 6.2 L engine, which is disabled.
ZR1
The Corvette ZR1 was revealed on July 25, 2024, at a private event in Miami, Florida, and a video revealing the vehicle was uploaded to Chevrolet's YouTube channel the same day. It is the most powerful Corvette to date, as well as the first to go into full scale production with a twin-turbocharged engine. This is in stark contrast to last generation's version of the ZR1, which instead utilized a supercharged engine located in the front. The starting price for the ZR1 is $173,300, according to the Chevrolet official website page.
Performance
The ZR1 utilizes an LT7 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged DOHC V8 engine similar to that of its sister model, the Z06, producing 1064 hp at 7,000 rpm and 828 lbft of torque at 6,000 rpm. According to Chevrolet, it is the most powerful V8 engine the company has ever built and is linked to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The car itself has a dry weight of 3670 lb, while the convertible weighs slightly more, at 3758 lb. It is rear-wheel drive and has a top speed of 233 mph as tested by GM president Mark Reuss.
Chevrolet claims the ZR1 can accelerate from 0–60 mph in 2.3 seconds and complete a quarter mile in 9.6 seconds at 152 mph when equipped with the ZTK performance package. Without the ZTK performance package, the ZR1 can accelerate from 0–60 mph in 2.5 seconds and complete the quarter mile in 9.7 seconds. The ZR1 set a time of 6:50.763 around the Nürburgring race track.[11]
Trim levels and options
There are currently two trim levels, the 1LZ and the 3LZ, starting at $173,300 and 184,300 respectively for the coupe variant. For the convertible variant, the 1LZ starts at $184,995, while the 3LZ starts at $196,195.
ZR1X
The Corvette ZR1X, introduced for the 2026 model year, is a hybrid variant of the C8 Corvette, combining the twin-turbocharged 5.5L LT7 V8 engine from the ZR1 with an upgraded version of the electric motor and all-wheel-drive system from the E-Ray. It is reported to produce a combined 1250 hp, making it the most powerful Corvette ever produced. Chevrolet says the ZR1X can achieve a 0–60 mph (97 km/h) time of under 2 seconds and a quarter-mile time of under 9 seconds.[12] They also claim the ZR1X can pull 1.0 g latitudinally and longitudinally, thanks to improvements made to the chassis controls from the E-Ray’s eAWD system. The model features advanced aerodynamics, including a carbon-fiber splitter, dive planes, and a high-downforce rear wing. It also features a new standard braking kit, with Alcon 10-piston front and 6-piston rear calipers, the largest ever offered on a Corvette, paired to carbon ceramic rotors. Chevrolet says these will produce 1.9 g of deceleration from 180 mph to 120 mph.[13] The ZR1X set a Nürburgring lap time of 6:49.275, beating the Ford Mustang GTD to set a new lap record for an American production car.[11]
Model year changes
2020 model year
The first production model of the C8 Corvette was the Stingray with a new mid-mounted 6.2 L LT2 V8 engine. It was available as a 2-door targa top or a retractable hardtop convertible. The targa top was available in body color, transparent, or visible carbon fiber.
2021 model year
Trim levels and options
2021 saw a list of changes following the 2020 launch year of the C8 Corvette. Long Beach Red Metallic Tintcoat and Blade Silver Metallic were retired. Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat and Silver Flare Metallic were added as premium color options. Additionally, full length racing stripes saw 4 new color options.
The interior saw the addition of Sky Cool Gray / Strike Yellow color available only on the 3LT. Magnetic Ride became available separate to the Z51 package for the 2021 model year. The Z51 package saw a price increase from $5,000 to $5,995 starting 2021. The front lift saw an increase from $1,495 to $1,995 as well.
