Radically new Corvette features one surprising change
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- General Motors has unveiled the eighth generation of the Chevrolet Corvette. The model is, arguably, the biggest change for the Corvette since the sports car was first introduced in 1953.
The Corvette has changed a lot over the years, but it has always remained a front-engined, rear-wheel-drive sports car. The new 2020 Corvette has its engine behind the seats, a change that radically alters the car's appearance and, certainly, how it will feel to drive.
"In terms of comfort and fun, it still looks and feels like a Corvette, but drives better than any vehicle in Corvette history," said GM president Mark Reuss.

Toyota: We had to partner to make a fast sportscar for under $60k
Chevy: *Imma bout to end this mans whole career*
Lol good luck with that. Both are amazing cars for what they are and both are for different people.
@@emanueltorres4093 Ever heard of a joke
Best comment on here. 😂 😂
@@emanueltorres4093 Don't take it so serious brah
@@emanueltorres4093 no luck needed theres a reason the Corvette never missed a year.
"We have got regular pony cars that cost over $70,000 these days" Shots fired
😂😂
Lol as a mustang fan, I even laughed at it.
At least the gt500 can actually turn and go around a track unlike hellcats which are just boats with a lot of power.
Jesus Meza people still buy the "boats" as you call it and lol why would you like your own comment?
... The ZL1 1LEs, GT500s/GT350Rs, and Hellcats are not 'regular' pony cars. 1LEs/SSs, GTs, and R/Ts are regular pony cars...
Hopefully GM can produce enough of these to discourage dealer price gouging and other shenanigans that could send the price well north of 60k
I doubt they would. Considering the smaller engine is offered at 60k so you'd probably see more of these models on the lot more than the h higher trim
Dealer BS!
Does gm allow dealer markups? Wasn't that one of the things the chevy guys used in the z06 gt350 debate? Not too mention I don't think they would since the used the price as a presentation point in the reveal
@@cliftonjackson441 GM allows dealer markup price only if they can't meet demands on producing enough .... So this car will definitely get a dealership markup ... Best bet is to order from the factory or wait a year
Guaranteed there will be heavy dealer markups on the 2020's. It'll cool off after the guys with more money than brains get the early Vette's off the floor.
Time to buy a new Corvette. They got me.
me too
I cried. damn onion ninjas
As long as the engine isn't built in Mexico, and the DCT from Canada

He did take a look at that blue vette while filming for his Jay Leno's Garage CNBC tv show where he dresses fancy no Denim unlike his regular utube show but not sure if he was shooting in that particular background
Thank you gm motors. We need more manufacturers like gm
GM is garbage. All our GM's were unreliable.

This new design will attract a whole bunch of customers who would never have considered a Corvette.
reelreeler or a sports car they can afford
And drive away long time fans like me. This contraption shouldn't even be called a Corvette.
@@suspiciouscomrade1973 Well, trust there are FAR move incoming fans that Chevy wont miss you guys who are salty about the new C8. Every guy who ever wanted an Exotic but couldn't quite afford one will be buying this. Might be a good time to buy Chevy stock
@@vilenationgaming I'm sure they won't care. The number of new fans outnumbers the ones that don't like it. Chevrolet will still profit in the end. It will still help their business to lose a few fans but gain a bunch more. The good will outweigh the bad in a case like this.
@@vilenationgaming well said
Looks like a $150k car. Well done GM
GM is showing that when you buy an F8 tributo, a Hurricane or a 720S, you are paying 200k for a logo.
U pay for the carbon fiber.... Its not cheap u know... This car use aluminium chassis... And fibreglass.. Thats why its cheap
@@polong99 ity all shatters in a crash anyways. it doesnt really matter the base material as long as it is engineered properly and designed to last
Of course you pay more for the badge but the engineering that goes into a McLaren or a Porsche is also a lot more advanced than in a Corvette
@@ironsaber2 A carbon chassis is objectively better in the corners.
CengizhanMilfhuntürk please explain...
we are. definitely living in the America First Era again ! beautiful ! congratulations America, this new Corvette is a world beater, totally stunned and in awe of it.
hands down and hats off from germany.
as if the c7 wasnt.......no car is faster than the z06 or the zr1 for the money.
When TRUMP said "built that wall", I thought he was talking about a wall between Mexico and the US, not a wall between the driver and passenger in the C8 Corvette. I love this car, but I am not so sure about that wall of buttons between me and the passenger. Good thing most people who can afford this car can also afford to get a room because you're not going to be making out in this car.
@@patriotsfan1236 ZR1 gets shit on by the NSX, 911, and R8
Grey Lives Matter LMDAO look at all of you triggered cry babies hating on this beast 😂
Acura is overpriced garbage ricer trolls.
Thank you GM. The engineers and designers have won! Thanks for putting so much thought and TASTEFUL styling into this and make it affordable for lots of Americans.
You will dominate the market for sports/ pony /supercar cars up to 300K sticker. You will win many new lifetime Corvette fans.
So the BMW Supra costs the same, RIP.
Could not agree more!!!! That was one of my first thoughts.
Yeah corvette literally fucked that Supra over lol
Not exactly the same in price but yeah if you can afford a Supra then you can afford the C8 (or even a Boxter). RIP Supra.
Yep.. said before and will again.. should of never named that car Supra..
Hopefully this will cause the price on the Supra to drop in a year so I can buy one. I'm all for competition and Chevy is making a statement with this.
This feels like a modern-day nsx.
Then it sucks so much ass
Nice move Chevrolet
And here people was saying it was a dumb move, eating their words now I bet.
They tried fir decades but better late than never.
GM, actually.....
59,999 that price is under 60K 😂
@Janusha Get a auto broker
they will not sell one inder 59999 ,wont happen
@@phantomstratocaster Even if you pre-order now?
@@freshenhancements7071 would you serious be happy with 1LT with no options
If your complaining about a marginal difference, you obviously can't afford it.
Great interview and Mark Reuss might be the best GM CEO to date.
$60K for such art is indeed game changing. Powerful flagship this mid-engine C8 that GM employees can actually afford as opposed to the Ford GT that almost no Ford employee could afford. On many levels here, Corvette succeeds were many have failed.
8 butt-hurt GT500 $95k+ buyers did a thumbs down.
@Grey Lives Matter what does that matter. Order it.
@@ryandayon2250 Exactly. If you want the cheapest version, they will order you one.
@@hochhaul cheapest one is all anyone needs on the street. anything more than this is unnecessary
@Grey Lives Matter even specced out it wont cost much more than 80k which is still a steal
It is mostly those Ford fanboys that can’t afford neither thumbs-down.
Chevy won the hearts of car enthusiasts world.
Keep it UP!
I am a ford guy, chevy have changed the game 👍🏻
Debadge it and it'll be worth $150k
KEVIN it’s worth that now! The design, style, performance and engineering is there!
@@mybro727 what he's saying is if had foreign name it would seem to be worth more.
exactly, slap a Ferrari Badge and it would be worth around 200k price range.
Roy Babineaux Yes, I know and I completely agree. Was just saying that even without the Ferrari badge the C8 is easily worth $150,000 as the Chevrolet it already is considering everything it brings to the table.
It’s true though, put a Ferrari badge out front and it’s suddenly worth double that! Smh 🤦🏽♂️
Will be interesting to see if these appreciate in a short time span. With them going for mass production they shouldn't exactly be scarce, but the first gens will definitely be a collector's item, and an amazing car period in years to come.
"We got regular pony cars for 70k these days" daaaamn what a call out!
... But they can seat 4; most of the time...
K03sport take that 10k difference and buy your passengers a second hand Volvo for $800 haha
From a die hard Ford guy: Hat tip to you GM, well done! Performance, looks and price are all there.
It would be interesting to see if Ford makes something to compete with the C8 Stingray 🤔😂 I like Ford's too I like pretty much anything though when it comes to vehicles I've always have really enjoyed Corvettes but the c8 is absolutely awesome. If Ford makes something to compete with the c8 Stingray they should bring back the Maverick that car isn't well known even amongst a lot of Ford enthusiasts so it would be ok to use that name plus it's a bold name. I think the Maverick had 6 and 8 cylinder motors so maybe they can use the Ecoboost from the raptor and tune it up to 600 so it could have more power then the stingray and for a v8 maybe the gt350r motor what would you think if they did something like that
@@lostbetrayed I hear ya but the Corvette has always been in the two seater class. The only car that I can think of that Ford made to compete was the Thunderbird(when it was a two seater).
The more I look at this thing the more I want it
Fantastic deal. If your interested you better not think about it for too long. Early in the Supply and demand will feel like a see saw. I Just put reservation in. Now, I just wait for the dealer to approve and I can’t start designing. Super excited!!
Offering right hand drive was strategic. I think Bowling Green better get ready to pump these out at 60K. All the Vette haters and folks that are envious and can't afford a car like this, would have disliked it anyway. Make your own decisions, this car is not for everybody. I love my 2013 427 Vert and it's extremely powerful LS7. I'm waiting for the Z06, hopefully but 2023.
Right hand drive will cater to a larger international community whom prefer mid engine super cars. Coupled with all that power and capability for a price point accessible to those beyond the US, corvette is fucking serious about changing the game
I've never been wowed by Corvettes, WOW! Unbelievable price point, GM crushed it.
Will definitely buy. Thank you Chevy for making affordable for all. Love it, you are above the rest, the number one in t he world, no one can touch this. All the competitor are blown out of the water. No one will buy other vehicles at this price range. Chevy you made a winner here.
Time to trade my 2015 for a new 2020 cause it’s so sexy. ❤️❤️❤️
CNN first time in a long time since I can remember you guys posting up some exciting real news.
I think Chevy/GM should receive an award of some sort for this car. The company really deserve it. Because, this is quite a remarkable achievement in the auto industry. And it is not an easy one to accomplish.
I was definitely blown away at the starting price, due to the fact that everthing is so high and mostly unattainable. Specially with a New car design. It looks Great!!
Janusha corvettes are amazing wtf 😂
@Janusha to see what i see in the design the styling of the interior, the dramatic edges it is awesome. I am a upholster and deal very heavily in customizing of cars and furniture so i was expecting a high price like $80k and would not think it did not mean more. So that is why i was amazed, because the car is not cheap nor am i cheap on my prices so i respect they came with that.
@Janusha Wow. I am never to old to learn. As a upholster i have seen the down grade of vehicles. All the plastic in the cars and recycled materials and there is still a hefty price. I remember some years back on the Durago there was a $5,000.00 option for leather interior when most of the interior on the seats was vinyl. Specially the back seat and 3rd seat.
This car is a definite game changer, it sends a strong message to all the auto manufacturers, follow suit or get put on the chopping block.
They could have easily added another $20-25,000 to the price and sold fewer but made as much or even more money. THANKS GM!!!
Wrong and bad way to do business. You want as much customers as you can. Mass production is more likely to generate more profit. This makes it cheaper to order raw materials/parts from suppliers by ordering bulk and easier to get contracts. Mass production usually implements better stream lining and more efficient production line.
Are you in the car business, or any business for that matter? Because I am in business for over 35 years and I have always made more money working with a handful of high end customers rather than scads of cheap ones.
Very true. First/Business class flyers bring airlines the most, and supercar companies make massive margin on high end consumers who will spend more per unit without batting an eye. It's awesome that rather than gouging they went in this direction. They can always release some limited runs with insane tunes as they go to capture that market as well. This is going to be a great platform.
David
If that was the case, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Buggatti, Lamborghini and every high end exotic manufacturer would be out of business.
@@deviantanomaly I get what you are saying but then and GM are totally different cars meant for different people.
its been almost 18 years since i got my last vette but i think this is good time to come back for a new vette...
Chevy just hit a home run with the Mid-engine C8 Corvette. 👏🏽 👏🏽 making America Great Again.
Should've went ahead and put Lambo doors on them. Its going to be alot of ppl putting the door on them anyway...
Wow, this new vette' looks neat from all angles!
not the front
My favorite part is the stingray logo on the top of the trunk
Thank you GM! Taking delivery of a Corvette C8 in 2020!
$140,000 dollars cheaper than the cheapest Ferrari but with the same horsepower rating. #WOW
The C8 corvette is doing what the first Gen NSX did to the competition. It’s showing us that If a company truly believe something could be done at a certain price point, it CAN be done. Well done GM... I cannot THANK YOU enough for creating this majesty, but alas... sadly... I’m not buying it... IM WAITIN FOR THE Z06 😎😎😎😎
Wait until 2021 to buy one. No need to rush. Recalls. Better version following year. Price drop. You name it.
I have a conceptual drawing of a mid-engine Corvette dating back to 1973. Looks like it was worth the wait.
@Janusha I know and it's so amazing to see one now.
VETTESET His point is that GM has tried to make a mid engine corvette for a long time and they have finally done it. Now cool your ass down. Why are you so angry?
@@-star_27-20 Not angry. Just pointing out that this has been "on the drawing board" for quite a while. Finished product looks well thought out and very promising.
bcgrittner Oh, I was saying that VETTESET was being angry, I understand your comment.
@@-star_27-20 Got it. Some of the comments were hidden and I didn't see that until after the fact. Thanks for the thoughtfulness. Just like old times - we'll have to make a trip to the Chevrolet dealer just to look (and pick up a sales brochure).
Make American Cars Great Again!
Fantastic...wow..it embarasses porsche lambi mclaren ferrari...just shows what GM can do...the Z06 or ZR1 version will be unbelievable.
Looking forward to the Z06
Skyler Allenson it hardly seems like anyone would need to, just go get a 60k Vette
because its too easy to attain, people will still get exotics. the prices are ridiculous compared to this but thats how it is. :/
@Janusha Because most of the viewers of popular channels with exotic cars (e.g. Jake Paul) are idiots. People who don't care about cars, just the brand name.
This Chevrolet shitheap will get raped by the European exotics
I like the boomerang sticks they put on the side. Real American design right there
Finally a 2020 Fiero, I love it!!!
I have to hand all the props to GM for pulling this off and keeping the price to a range that average people can aspire to. The accessibility is the one feature that makes this car truly special..and the performance specs aren't too bad either! That said, I have no illusions about the fact that GM fcks up a lot, from an initial quality and reliability perspective, so I suspect there will be some issues with this car at launch. But my hope is that there won't be anything major that can't be addressed with a production tweak or two. If that proves to be the case, I will definitely purchase a C8 Stingray Z51 in a few years.
I want the CHEVY Corvett c8
I'm just thoroughly surprised they managed to give it a boot BEHIND THE ENGINE.
Never into a corvette branded but these time thing has changed and it has won mine interest and respect about a American engineers. Great work GM!!
The mid engine car that I find it most closely resemble is the Ferrari 488 Tributo.
Getting a Corvette has always been my dream car other than a Nissan GTR but this one seems like its attainable for for people who have always wanted one like myself!
Hennessy Performance on that 2020 Stingray❗️🚀
That would be bad ass have you seen some of the rendering for a kit for the 2020 Vette if you haven't let me know I will when I can send some artists on IG they look bad asf.
Can't wait to see the C8-R on the track!!!!
Leon L there’s videos of GM doing test runs out there on some tracks. You could fine them here on UA-cam
@@alexguerra1219 Thanks. I was thinking about January 2020 at the Rolex 24. I go every year. Want to see it in person.
It looks like a '90s Ferrari that never made it into production but doesn't have the price tag of a new Ferrari...which I think it's what makes it awesome. Almost everyone can have one!!!
Looks like a concept car turned reality. I remember in the 90s every concept/prototype would look nicer than the production car. Well those days are gone.
There will be a $150k Vette on this new platform in the next few years - and it will make $400k+ super cars look stupid.
It looks amazing and it costs less than $60,000 :o
2:48 the interviewer obviously is anti fun sports car by questioning zero emissions GM president should have stopped the interview.

s ga I suppose he could have said the ZR1 will be kinda a hybrid. Haha
@@SuperSilence23 CNN loves to tear America apart..I was surprised they had an Apollo 11 documentary on last nite. I bet it tore them apart.
Great job GM I always loved your corvettes and trucks and SUV . But this one is icing on the cake. I definitely planning on getting one at some point . 60 k for this kind of a car is unheard of . 👏
This is gonna destroy the competition, even cars in completely different classes. It's gonna imbalance the whole industry with that kind of performance for the price
new jeep gladiator 43k-53k, some people paid 62k to be the first one to own that truck, could get a full size luxury pickup GMC/Chevrolet for that same amount. then a new corvette below 60k, but a 2020 supra is about the same price, crazy no.
60k mid-engine. Corvette made supercar history right there!
Finally the Corvette gaining worldwide recognition and attracting an entire new audience. I definitely want the Corvette brand be even more successful 🙌🏼
Awesome car . Want one desperately
We'll see what happens. They should've done this three decades ago.Amazing what numbers you get when you put that weigh and power over the rear axle. Hello Porsche, lotus, Ferrari and other mid-engines. Amazing performance numbers, but they still struggle with interior and too busy of a body design. Still the best bang for the buck.
Omar gives this car her seal of approval.
Of all the people to reiterate this widely quoted mistruth, the President if GM states the sub$60k base model does 0-60 in less than 3 seconds. As Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter states in the 071819 reveal and other , this requires the $5000 Z51 performance package. Is this guy that disconnected with his own product, was fed this unverified point by others, or knowingly lying?
Believe this is the same corporate culture and standard that resulted in another GM executive spinning his ZR1 Corvette into a wall last year during a globally-televised race event at low speed.
The New Toyota Zupra is Doomed! Wow! I'm in Love With This New Corvette... ❤😘😍
Hopefully I want one less competition is good for me.
The C8 will be the first US car to have world wide demand since the Model T. In one year, GM can sell 15,000 in Germany, not to mention what it can sell in the rest of Europe and Asia. If a comparable C is 5 seconds slower around the 'Ring than the exotics, exotics' future sales are in trouble. Of course, the exotics can brag they have better quality leather and titanium hood latches to justify their higher prices. The C8 will lift the boats for all US export cars as the C8 showcases a US car that has excellent engineering and good value for the money.
"Not everything's a rational purchase" good job on this guy telling the truth and not some BS corporate line lmao. I am super excited for the electric Corvette!
I love all the people being so cynical about the c8, even if this car turns out to not be a home run for GM, I'm glad to see an automaker just making something purely driver and sport inspired while appealing to people who actually live in the real world.
Cant wait to get one used for 20-30k
His answers to each question were flawless.
Even though you saw a lot, i've never thought it would look as good as this, when it was camouflaged.
Chevy is doing it.👏🏻
Not offering a transmission worth a damn is a real change
You can tell this video isn't meant for petrol heads... The "one surprising change" (mid-engine) has been the most anticipated aspect of the C8. And has been widely known for quite some time...
Sadly, as I write this, there are a billion potholes out there licking their chops and thinking, "Yeah! Bring the new C8 Corvette on -- we're ready!"
Long live USA🇱🇷🔥
Really like the car and what it stands for
I’m getting one black on black everythang ♠️
This thing looks more like a Ferrari than a Ferrari does these days. Great work, Chevy
surprised CNN didn't try to shoehorn trump into this
Amazing
This is what nsx should have done for the new nsx. I love the look of this new Corvette and the new ideas that they are bringing
The nsx is just fine lol ...
Keep America Great
Yes, dump the asshole Trump, and it will be!
I’m get me one! Wow! Game changer! For super cars.
I can't deny that I've always love Corvettes. The price and the performance are absolutely amazing but the exterior design is such a mish mash of other cars it's distracting. Rear lights look like the Camaro, Rear bumper looks like 2019 honda Civic, I just feel that the hood design and rear bumper cover design were missed opportunities for this historic release. Offering the steering wheel on the right or the left is pure marketing genious! That will open up a lot more market for them and I'm confident they will do very well ... just not for me. No Corvertte for me, not Supra for me, I'm happy with my Porsche Turbo ;)
Good price point for the C8. Now tell the Chevy dealers to bring the price down on the Camaro
Great video. Thanks for conducting what was an informative interview.
Was thinking about a hellcat but now I don’t know.
Hellcat overrated Fiat trash. Outdated body styling, big obese and heavy, not good on the track at all. Piece of shit.
I hope they give us an even less expensive manual transmission model.
... A third pedal would push the (base) price past 60k, you know, extra parts...

I don't care what they call it, this is NOT a Corvette. Is it beautiful, sleek, sexy, perfectly priced? Absolutely. But not a Vette.
