Exclusive: Mid-Engine C8 Chevrolet Corvette First Photos - Car and Driver

Behold, mid-engine Corvette fans: The car you’ve waited patiently for Chevrolet to build has finally evolved beyond titillating concepts to the engineering mule revealed here. An 82-second strike by our recon op resulted in 15 frames before security narcs dropped the curtain on this black test car—with its two occupants still inside.Don’t fret over the pointy-pickup camouflage; more attractive attire will follow. Instead take solace in a cabin hugging the front axle, ample space between the cockpit and the rear wheels for the hot parts, and this Corvette’s crouched and ready attitude.

The nose clip is from Holden Commodore SSV (with even wider flares), while the cabin module, roof, and exterior mirrors are hand-me-downs from today’s Stingray. A Holden SSV ute’s sheetmetal wraps door to door around the heinie. The wing keeps the tail planted during high-speed runs and what could be more practical than the bumper-mounted 2x10 for shoving this test sled back to the garage when it breaks down? Other items of note: The fuel-filler located on the driver’s-side B-pillar and the cooling intakes located along the rocker panels.

Scaling the span between the axles using the wheels as guides (we’re estimating them at 19 inches in diameter) yields a projected wheelbase of 98.9 inches, some eight inches shorter than that of today’s Corvette. That blueprint upgrade comes from bumping the transmission from ahead of to behind the rear axle as God and Dr. Porsche intended. A tighter wheelbase quickens steering response and cinches up the turning circle. It goes without saying that at least 60 percent of this probable Corvette ZR1’s mass will be supported by the rear wheels, enhancing launch traction and balls-out braking. There are rumblings that the engine bay may eventually play host to a small, 3.5- to 4.0-liter V-8 with all the fixin’s—meaning no pushrods.

Thus far GM has issued no denials discrediting our most recent (and highly detailed) mid-engine Corvette forecasts. While there’s no fresh intel regarding launch timing, the fact that experimental hardware has left the laboratory suggests that the C8 Zora sports car is on schedule to roll into showrooms in about 20 months as a 2017 model, at which point it will be sold alongside the front-engined Corvette. Place your orders now or find yourself stuck at the back of a long delivery line.

Também não esperava esse resultado.
Ficava com o Z06 na mesma

[Phaster]

agora metam uns pilot sport cup 2 no gtr e repitam o teste

[topspeedPT]

Mas em Laguna Seca já tenho dúvidas se o GT-R ganhava.

Conduzido por um engenheiro que o desenvolveu.
Mesmo assim não deixa de ser incrível ter batido o 918 Spyder embora para comparar mesmo com exactidão tivesse de ser a Car and Driver a conduzi-lo.

Chevrolet unveils 2016 Corvette Z06 C7.R Edition with hardware upgrades

Chevrolet is introducing the 2016 Corvette Z06 C7.R Edition which will be limited to only 500 units.

As the name suggests, the special edition is derived from the C7.R racecar and will be offered as a coupe and convertible for the 3LZ trim. Only 500 of them are being built and all will come as standard with the Z07 Performance Package bringing Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, Michelin PS Cup 2 tires and a special serialized VIN. Customers will have to choose from either a new Corvette Racing Yellow Tintcoat paint or a black hue which will be combined with a C7.R Edition graphics package.

The Z06 C7.R Edition also benefits from yellow brake calipers hiding behind black wheels that have a yellow accent strip and Corvette Racing-logo center caps. Chevrolet has also added the carbon fiber ground effects package, visible carbon fiber hood section and a Spectra Gray Metallic look for the grilles and vents.

Stepping inside the cabin, the limited-run model has Jet Black leather upholstery with sueded microfiber accents on the doors and instrument panel. There's also a carbon fiber high-gloss trim package, Corvette Racing sill plates, yellow contrast stitching as well as sueded microfiber-trimmed Competition Sport Seat, steering wheel and shifter.

The 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 C7.R Edition is scheduled to go on sale later this year.
Additional details can be found in the attached press release.
