Corvette's base price of C8 will start below $60,000. They finally did it!

I really like the design, but in germany it’s going to cost around 100k anyway

 

[R Veloster N]

Yeah probably!

For a loaded up one it’ll prob be 100k in the US

 

[R Veloster N]

Probably, considering the new 2020 GT500 will nearly eclipse or surpass this number. The 2019 ZR1 is nearly $148.5K, 124.5K for the Z06. This is not including any custom factory performance additions you decide to put on as well. I would say that's a very good bet!

Looks like a cross between an Elantra (hideous headlights), a Ferrari (overall shape) and a Lamborghini (huge side intakes). ‘Vette identity just about completely gone.

Mid-engine finally done.
0-60 under 3s sounds fabulous.
DCT... Meh.
Single row of buttons on center console is ridiculous.

It's definately a complete change from what we know the Corvette to be. LeMans is calling for the mid-engine and pushing this one along.

Agree Cygnus, no DCT and the electronics are a bit intrusive as well.

Chevrolet wants to maintain status quo @ LeMans. It sells Corvettes for sure.

Because you gotta pressure test the machinery to ensure the quality...

It is always hard to see how other countries set their speed limits. Some of these countries have very nice roads, but you can only sneak on them.
Even if our roads are not always good and we have many construction sites and traffic jams, I am happy when I see an unlimited sign.

Then I can drive faster than 200+ without a bad conscience or fear of the prison.

It's not so much the roads but the insurance companies and idiotic drivers and poorly maintained cars. At least ways in the US.
