And more Speculation ....
Hope they don't make the mistake of pricing the C8 too high. Anybody can make an expensive sports car. The appeal of Corvette has always been its performance at an affordable price.

Re: And more Speculation ....
That silver car looks more like it was inspired by the Cien, which was a Caddy.
My suspicion is that the "Stingray" version of the C8 could be powered by the pushrod motors due to cost, but the Z versions could be offered w DOHC AND FINALLY, a DOHC w hybrid drive for the front wheels. This would bring power up to very high levels but also avoid the need and complications of forced induction. Then we get an SUV ala Cayenne.

That silver image of a Corvette looks like something out the 70s Jetson tv cartoon series.

Re: And more Speculation ....
I see nothing even close to a Jetsons looking vehicle in that render .
Jetsons vehicles were round bubble window flying cars from what I remember ... Sent from my LG-H831 using ZR-1 Net Registry mobile app |
