2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Revealed, Based on Mid-Engine C8

The recent 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray reveal confirmed many exciting details. This mid-engine Corvette Stingray is based on the Corvette C8, which diverged from previous generations of the Corvette by sporting the first-ever mid-engine configuration.

The Corvette Stingray will come with a 6.2-liter V8 engine, putting out a muscular 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. It can shut down up to four of its cylinders when they’re not needed to save fuel, like the engine on the previous Stingray. That’s a function you won’t find on most sports cars.

The engine will be mounted to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. No manual transmission is available, but the automatic does offer paddle shifters mounted to the steering wheel for greater driver influence over the shifting.

You can add the Z71 Performance Package to your Stingray for a boost in acceleration, and there are five drive modes to choose from for different driving conditions: Weather, Track, Sport, Tour, and MyMode.

Other firsts we’ll see in the 2020 Stingray are animated turn signals in the taillamps, hidden door handles, and hidden releases for the hood and engine hatch. This engine hatch, which covers the engine that sits in the middle of the Corvette, is made of a sheet of clear glass, so the engine is proudly visible beneath it.

When the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is available, you’ll be able to buy it from Clements Chevrolet Cadillac, along with the other 2020 Corvette versions.
