next generation corvette
This all-new mid-engine sports car is so much more than Next Generation – it’s next level. At once precise and powerful, the Corvette Stingray Coupe and Convertible have been completely redesigned from the ground up to deliver a thrill on every drive.
The C8 is not only powerful, but, dare we say, it's also the most premium-feeling Corvette that Chevrolet has ever made.

- CAR AND DRIVER
When you completely reimagine a car as iconic as Corvette, you get a beautifully sculpted mid-engine sports car that makes a powerful statement. Not your everyday car, but a car you want to drive every day. And with aerodynamic components integrated throughout, its gorgeous form is functional.
The new Corvette offers a first-ever production retractable hardtop. The top adds just 35 kilograms to the weight of the vehicle and flows seamlessly into the body while maintaining Stingray’s impressive storage capabilities. Available in body-color or Carbon Flash, the two-piece hardtop can activate at speeds up to 50 km/h. And performance stays high when the top goes down, making this the most track-capable Corvette convertible in history.
The mid-engine configuration provides incredible visibility, responsiveness and driving feel. The new engine placement provides rear weight bias, meaning more power is directed to the rear wheels where it matters most. And with the windshield now over the front wheels, there’s improved downforce without the need for a front air dam.
Every detail is designed to provide a natural and immersive driving experience that’s tailored to you. Each button is exactly where it needs to be for comfortable, intuitive use. And with three seat combinations to choose from, there's sure to be one that perfectly suits you.
Standard on the 2LT, the GT1 seat is wrapped in Mulan leather and designed for long distance and support.
Available on 2LT and standard on 3LT, the GT2 seat features carbon-fiber trim with a seatback halo and is wrapped in genuine Napa leather.
The available Competition Sport seat provides aggressive bolsters for track driving, with performance textile in high-wear areas.
Get to know the new Stingray in this extensive series that explores Corvette inside and out.
What happens when you set out to improve upon a storied legacy of small block engines? You get the all-new 6.2L LT2 V8. A no-compromises powerhouse that’s been architecturally transformed to sit lower for improved handling.
Every part had to earn its way onto this car, and the standard dual-clutch transmission is no different. It features lightning-quick shifts, combining the smoothness of an automatic with the action of a manual. And since there’s no deceleration between shifts, your lap times will benefit too.
Optional on the new Corvette Stingray, this next-generation damping system reads the road every millisecond and adapts in as little as 10–15 milliseconds. An innovative suspension fluid contains metal particles that align and become rigid in an instant, giving you the confidence and control to push harder while staying planted.
With the turn of a meticulously designed dial, everything changes. The Driver Mode Selector lets you electronically calibrate up to 12 performance variables to ready your Stingray for any road. And all-new My Mode and Z-Mode let you personalize performance even further, allowing you to save settings between drives.
This powerful machine is equipped with a serious command center. From the latest Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system† with 8-inch diagonal color touch-screen to the ingenious available Front Lift, every feature was included to improve your drive. With standard technologies like the Performance Data Recorder and color Head-Up Display, the car just may help improve your driving skills too.
Let nothing stand in your way. This available system raises the front of your Corvette almost 5 centimeters in less than three seconds† at low speeds so you can clear low obstacles like speed bumps or steep driveways.
Your digital driving coach is back and better than ever with 1080p recording that provides a high-quality reproduction of your drive. Capture acceleration speed, braking, gear choice, sound and more with this available feature designed to help make you one with the car. And when you’re away from the track, PDR can act as a dash cam with auto-record for your daily drives.
Additionally, PDR is equipped with Valet Mode that can be used to monitor the use of your Corvette when others are behind the wheel, recording video and vehicle data, letting you hand off your car with peace of mind.
A source of joy for generations, this latest iteration's the sum of everything that’s come before it, yet it’s like nothing you’ve seen.
