The Chevrolet Corvette, America’s sweetheart sports car since 1953 underwent a galactic shift for the eighth generation C8 Corvette. The C8 marked a number of firsts for the Corvette, the most significant being the move from front-engined over the past seven generations, to a mid-engined configuration, aimed at improving handling and balance, and catapulting the Corvette into the next league of performance and prowess, able to cut it with Europe’s finest that costs many times more than a Corvette. If you’re looking to secure one of these history-making Corvettes, here’s a nice 2020 Chevrolet Corvette 2LT Coupe up for sale from Florida with just 5,310 miles under its wheels.

Exterior and Interior

The design of the C8 would require some changes, due to the mid-engined configuration. Nevertheless, this 2020 Chevrolet Corvette 2LT Coupe looks stunning in its Elkhart Blue Metallic paint job, replete with body-colored removable targa roof panel for an open-air motoring experience. Carbon Flash exterior accents add some visual candy, as do the quad exposed tailpipes with bright tips that are part of the Fabspeed performance exhaust. This ‘Vette also comes with the 2LT Preferred Equipment Package, and the previous owner reports adding carbon fiber accents. There’s front lift with memory to aid traversing speed humps and slopes on the road without damaging the front valance. Before we forget, this ‘Vette rolls on a set of Blaque Diamond BD-F18 20-inch brushed silver wheels that perfectly gel with the blue exterior. The interior is in natural Jet Black and offers seating for two occupants. Options include the GT2 Bucket Seats with heating, ventilation and power bolsters for the driver, black seat belts, leather wrapped steering wheel, performance data recorder, rear view camera, heads-up display, wireless charging for your mobile phone, climate control and a premium Bose sound system should you want to listen to something other than the massive V8 for a change.

Engine

We speak of a massive V8, and that’s what this 2020 Chevrolet Corvette 2LT Coupe packs behind the two seats. It’s a 6.2L LT2 unit with a dry-sump lubrication system and cylinder deactivation on part throttle to save fuel when cruising. Nonetheless, when the hammer is down, it can kick out 490hp and 465lb-ft to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission. This is the first generation of Corvette to not offer a manual transmission, although with performance figures such as a zero-to-sixty of under four seconds and a top end north of 180mph, we doubt you’d complain much.
