2020 Chevrolet Corvette
For 2020, the Corvette has undergone the most radical redesign in its 67-year history. Believing that they had squeezed every ounce of performance they could from the Corvette's classic front-engine and rear-drive layout, Chevrolet's engineers decided a new mid-engine layout was the way to go for its inherent advantages in weight distribution. Risky? Yes. But the result is hugely impressive.
In terms of performance, the Corvette equals or outshines cars costing twice to three times as much. The new 6.2-liter V8 and dual-clutch automatic transmission are a formidable combo on the track but offer plenty of oomph and smooth operation in nearly any condition. The 2020 Corvette also imparts more information about its handling balance and grip, thereby giving its driver more confidence in taking the car up to its handling limits.
As with past Corvettes, the C8 is practical for both daily driving and long trips. Although the total cargo area isn't as usable as before, it's still large enough to fit a few pieces of luggage. There's still space for the coupe's removable targa roof panel top in the rear, and the lack of an engine up front means there's a small frunk in the nose. The new interior has a sharp, driver-focused design and fine materials throughout. A Corvette convertible is on its way too.
Chevrolet Corvette models
The 2020 Corvette Stingray is available in three trims: 1LT, 2LT and 3LT, each one building off the last with features and available options. All are powered by a mid-mounted 6.2-liter non-turbocharged V8 (490 horsepower, 465 lb-ft) that sends power to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, a first for the Corvette.
The base 1LT comes fairly well-equipped with features such as leather seats, keyless entry with push-button start, a rear camera mirror, an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 10-speaker Bose audio system. Options on the 1LT are limited.
The 2LT offers a wider variety of standard and available features. Standard items include a 14-speaker Bose audio system, heated and ventilated seats, a head-up display, and more interior color choices. You also get Chevrolet's Performance Data Recorder, a system that records video of your laps as well as info such as steering angle and g-force. Optional features that aren't available on the 1LT include more aggressive seats, a front-end lift system and carbon-fiber trim.
At the top of the lineup you have the 3LT trim level. It comes with all of the standard equipment you'll find on the 2LT, plus standard GT2 sport seats, additional interior colors and more. Available features generally mirror those of the 2LT trim save for what already comes standard.
The Z51 Performance package is available on all three trims and comes with some significant upgrades to the powertrain and chassis. Cars with the Z51 package get a slight bump in power (495 hp and 470 lb-ft) thanks to a performance exhaust system. Other Z51 upgrades include a heavy-duty cooling system, adaptive suspension dampers, an electronic limited-slip differential and grippier tires.
