$60,000 for this?! Holy moly.
Chevrolet
The mid-engine 2020 Chevrolet Corvette
is right here, and it seems to be an absolute monster. Seems it will be an unbelievable efficiency discount, too.
Following the C8 Corvette’s debut on Thursday, Common Motors president Mark Reuss stated the sports activities automobile “will begin at lower than $60,000” when it goes on sale later this 12 months. That is a modest enhance over the present, C7-generation Corvette’s $55,900 base value.
Contemplating what sort of numbers the 2020 Corvette throws down, that $60,000-ish beginning value seems like one hell of deal. The mid-engine Corvette makes use of a 6.2-liter, naturally aspirated V8 engine, with 490 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, or 495 hp and 470 lb-ft if you happen to go for the Z51 efficiency bundle. Energy is routed to the rear wheels through an eight-speed, dual-clutch automated transmission, and Chevy estimates the Corvette will be capable to speed up to 60 mph in lower than three seconds. Holy smokes.
“The place else are you able to get a supercar that goes zero to 60 in lower than three seconds for this sort of cash?” Reuss stated.
The 2020 Corvette will likely be produced at Chevy’s plant in Bowling Inexperienced, Kentucky, and can go on sale close to the tip of 2019.
