Chevrolet produced the eighth-generation Corvette early in 2020 as the flagship of American sports cars. Despite being the newest addition to the list, this generation has the honor of being the first mid-engined Corvette since the first generation rolled off the lines in 1953. The C8 came in three variants, the 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT, with the difference being three different suspension setups that would ultimately affect how the car would drive. This 2020 Chevrolet Corvette 3LT one also comes with the Z51 performance package and is on offer in North Carolina with a mere 387 miles on the road.

Exterior and Interior

The fact that the Corvette was now a mid-engine vehicle meant that the designers at Chevy had to come up with a new design to perfect the aerodynamics and cooling to maintain the character of the car. This 2020 Chevrolet Corvette LT3 comes with a Shadow Grey Metallic exterior with Edge Red fender hash stripe that is complemented by the carbon flash exterior details around the car, including a set of dealer-installed carbon fiber mirror caps, carbon fiber badge package, and visible carbon fiber grille inserts, as well as a visible carbon-fiber roof panel with body-color surround. The car sits on a set of machined-edge carbon flash painted aluminum wheels that are 19” up front and 20” in the rear. The front suspension can be lifted and has adjustable height and memory to aid traversing speed humps and rough roads. Hiding behind those rims are Z51 package brakes with the Jake logo engrossed on the Edge Red painted brake calipers. The car also houses Z51 performance dual exhausts. The Jet Black and Edge Red interior features illuminated sill plates that include the Stingray logo. Driver and passenger sit on a pair of heated and ventilated GT2 bucket seats with memory driver and passenger convenience package, as well as a power-adjustable driver’s seat bolster. Just like the outside of the car, the interior also includes carbon-fiber interior trim that fades off into a suede microfiber wrapped upper interior. Some technological instruments include a rear camera mirror, wireless phone charging, rear park assist, side blind zone alert, a rear cross-traffic system, HD front curb view camera, heads-up display, a PDR performance data recorder and a Bose performance stereo system equipped with 12 speakers for when you want to relax and cruise after an exhilarating drive.

Engine

Tucked away behind the cockpit of the C8 is the 6.2L LT2 V8 engine that is offered with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and tuned to produce almost 500hp. With the additional magnetic ride control, the Z51 C8 will reach 60mph from a standstill in 2.9 seconds which is serious supercar territory.
