Is a Mid-Engine Corvette Becoming A Reality?


Mid-Missouri ‘Vette fanatics- a string of spy photos are making their way around and we have a feeling you’re going to be as excited as we are. It’s looking as if the next Corvette isn’t going to be your typical C7 Stingray, but rather a mid-engine model.

The mule was caught test-driving at GM’s Milford Proving Grounds in full camouflage (even sporting C7 body panels). However, a couple of things stood out- like the missing glass cover on the vehicle’s rear hatch. This kind of setup would ensure the engine, located behind the seats, is receiving enough air to keep it cool.

This mid-engine Corvette has been in the works for awhile- and just last year GM engineers and executives were seen testing a prototype that combined the C7 and Holden Commodore SSV. We’re getting closer and closer!
We’ll be sure to keep you updated...but in the meantime, don’t hesitate to visit us at the Mid-MO Powerhouse to check out the New 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe!
