2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray Coupe: Mid-Engine Revolution POV Review

Описание: The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray Coupe marks one of the most revolutionary changes in Corvette history — the first-ever mid-engine production Corvette. This complete redesign transformed the iconic American sports car from a front-engine layout into a true supercar-killer with exotic looks, blistering performance, and everyday usability at a shockingly accessible price point (starting around $59,995 in 2020).
At the heart lies the all-new LT2 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine, producing 490 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque (495 hp / 470 lb-ft with the optional performance exhaust). Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (the first DCT ever in a Corvette), delivering lightning-fast shifts and seamless power delivery. Acceleration is ferocious: 0–60 mph in 2.9 seconds, quarter-mile in ~11.2 seconds, and a top speed of 194 mph (with Z51 package).
The mid-engine layout completely changes the driving dynamics — razor-sharp turn-in, incredible grip thanks to the near 50:50 weight distribution, and phenomenal high-speed stability. The optional Z51 Performance Package adds magnetic ride control, larger brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, performance exhaust, and an electronic limited-slip differential. The chassis feels planted yet playful, with adjustable drive modes (Tour, Sport, Track, Weather, My Mode) that transform the character from comfortable cruiser to track weapon.
Exterior styling is aggressive and exotic: sharp creases, massive side air intakes, low-slung profile, hidden rear trunk, and signature dual-element taillights. The interior received a massive upgrade — fighter-jet cockpit layout, 12-inch digital cluster, 8-inch touchscreen, premium materials, and optional GT2 seats with aggressive bolstering.
The C8 Stingray redefined what an “entry-level” supercar could be — supercar looks and performance for half the price of European rivals, with American muscle character intact.
