Though it hasn’t been confirmed yet, it is expected that the car will be equipped with a new high-revving flat-plane V8 engine as opposed to the previous generation’s cross-plane engine. The current-generation Corvette is powered by a 6.2-litre LT1 V8 engine which makes 659 PS of maximum power and 881 Nm of peak torque. The new engine makes 495 PS of maximum power and 637 Nm of peak torque for the base model, while higher models are expected to make more.
Though it has not been confirmed, it can be expected that the Corvette C8 could be offered as an all-wheel-drive hybrid with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. However, it is best to wait for confirmation from the company.
The car has been teased multiple times by the company and has even been spotted doing rounds in New York City. Chevrolet has confirmed its launch in 2020 and the Corvette C8 could carry a higher price than the current generation, probably somewhere around the Rs 45 lakh mark (ex-showroom).
