Chevy just drove the next-generation Corvette through New York City — and GM CEO Mary Barra was along for the ride
Chevy took the new Corvette for a drive through Manhattan, with GM CEO Mary Barra in the passenger seat.The long-rumored eighth-generation Corvette has finally been confirmed. And it won't have its likely twin-turbocharged V8 engine up front — the new Vette will be a mid-engine machine.
The car has been spotted testing around the world, but Chevy hasn't said anything about when it would be revealed. We found on Tuesday, when General Motors CEO Mary Barra was driven to a Stephen Siller Foundation event in the camouflaged Vette .Chevy said that the C8 Corvette would be revealed on July 18.
It remains to be seen whether the C8.R will take on the mid-engined Ferrari 488 and Ford GT in sports-car races in 2020, but that's certainly something that fans should be looking forward to . Obviously, one of these days we're going to see some photos of the new Vette in which the car isn't sporting black-and-white camo. But now we know that the long Corvette hood could soon be a thing of the past.
