After decades of rumors and cloak-and-dagger reports, the ‘next’ generation C8 debuts as the brand’s first-ever mid-engine Corvette. With the Z51 package, 0-60 times are the fastest of any Corvette ever made, handling is world-class, and the design is jaw-dropping. Even the cabin is that of a bonafide exotic car, and more importantly will never be shared by any other GM vehicle – an unwritten prerequisite in the supercar/exotic world. Unbelievably, the starting MSRP is sub-$60K, although the world has gotten wise to motoring’s “best kept secret”, and long wait lists, dealership premiums, and bespoke production orders have driven prices closer to the $100K mark. For those that always want that extra everything, 2023 will offer a 670HP V8 Z06 model, along with the world’s first Electric ‘Vette.
