In the new photos, we can see a (very camouflaged) prototype C8 in its actual body this time around, giving us a pretty good idea of the car’s profile- and confirming that the engine is most certainly located in the back. What we can’t see yet are the major details, which is to be expected, as the new ‘Vette still seems to be a developmental mule.
Word on the street is that a small-block V-8 engine will bring the power, pumping out between 450 to 500 horsepower when paired with a new, Tremec-sourced seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. But we still have lots of questions…Price? Performance? Name?
The mid-engined Corvette is expected to make its debut at the Detroit auto show in January 2018, so we have quite the wait but we’re looking forward to all the details!
In the meantime, be sure to stop in Mid-MO Powerhouse in Linn, MO to check out our current inventory of the C7 Corvette!
