C8 Corvette from Diamond Autosport is Far from Cookie-Cutter in Sensational Black-and-White Hue

We have long had an intent eye on the C8 Corvette here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse, where the good people from Diamond Autosport clearly have the angle on custom designs fully covered. This example of a C8 Corvette showcases glossy black assets riding on a lowered set of matching black AG Luxury forged wheels. This was a first for many to check out, as AGL usually is fitted on large exotics instead of “America’s sports car through and through”. 

The look is decidedly urban yet still one of a kind, and this is the stuff that “Neo Grand-Theft Auto” and breezy palms in Miami personas come from. The Corvette C8 is standing by to conquer your favorite backroads with its 6.2-Liter V8 LT2 engine, 490 horsepower, and 465 lb-ft of torque. You can opt for the Bose premium 10-speaker system, Chevy infotainment 3 system, along with standard 8-way power GT1 seat and power tilt and telescopic steering column. The mid-engine placement allows for the cowl, hood, and steering wheel to be much lower than normal- making your all-important forward vision clearer than it’s ever been before!

Three scavenge pumps are on board to work to pump oil from the engine, which ensures high oil quality. The flow is optimized towards critical areas during intense cornering and encountering g-force. The new Chevy Corvette’s superpower, appeal, and quality sets it so far apart from the competition that Car and Driver deemed it the best performance bargain on the market! It’s also known to be faster on the track than the Porsche Boxster and Cayman. There are now more customization options than ever before with choices for interior, brake-caliper paint, and even seatbelt colors in a high form of overabundance.

This year marks the ‘Vette’s 23rd time on the 10Best list which praised it heavily for impressive power, acceleration, high handling limits, and a very affordable price! This is the third year of the Corvette’s stunning and long-awaited rebirth, offering a mind-bending degree of quickness, precise handling, and significant comfort on the road. Even base versions of this Corvette are well-equipped to compete against the BMW M4 and Porsche 911. 

If you’re looking to rock the house with premium sound, you can opt for the 14-speaker Bose audio system and wireless Android Auto, as well as Apple CarPlay connectivity that comes as standard. Laying its claim to being a massively supercharged bargain among performance cars, the interior looks and immediately feels premium. The 2LT Trim is a great place to start for overall value. If you are feeling the tracking vibe, the Z51 package is the best to enjoy upgraded brakes, performance suspension, aerodynamic enhancements, and the heaviest-duty cooling system in existence.
