Looooooove the rapid blue!

think this color, in a Z51 spec'd out car, with black accents will look great.

Looooooove the rapid blue!

Little too neon blue for me. Maybe it looks different in person.

Longbeach Red Metallic. That color has been growing on me more than any other color. Still can't wait to see yellow.

Tried to do my version of the mid-engined Corvette. I used the C7 as a base, moved some stuff around, took the front bumper and side intake from the C8.

The C7 cues are most noticeable at the front. Rather than the C8's pointy headlights, Prisk uses the previous generation's version with more rounded edges and strips of LED running lights along the top. The hood also wears the vented hood from the ZR1, and, while the openings probably wouldn't be very functional on the mid-engined Corvette, they look fantastic.

The C7 styling inspiration at the rear is a bit more subtle. The rear deck is flatter than on the C8, and the headlights don't wrap around the back. The simple curve of the bumper is also different from the new 'Vette's more angular design at the tail.

Random picture and random quotes. I’m confused.

 

[Mook]

Someone rendered the C8 using C7 design cues... As stated.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

I'm sick of these stupid renderings, what's the point

 

[Lead Pipe]

The C8 "what if" front engine render is pretty cool. It really shows how the C8 is still an evolution of the previous design, the proportions are really what set this car apart since it's mid engine.

Is that a camera on top of the wrecked vette?

Official pricing. Lots more info in the link.

https://www.motor1.com/news/365216/new-2020-corvette-price-details/

Chevrolet wasn’t kidding when it announced the eighth-generation Corvette would start at less than $60,000, as the mid-engine sports car will go on sale with a base price of $58,900, or $59,995 after a $1,095 destination fee. Yes, the all-new Corvette Stingray costs a mere $3,000 more than the current car.

top trim still under 75k

Finally, there’s the top-of-the-line 3LT, which wears a price tag of $70,850 and adds higher-spec seats with carbon fiber trim, suede-wrapped upper-interior trim pieces, and leather-wrapped interior bits, including the door panels. Both 2LT and 3LT Stingrays are also available with a $1,495 front-suspension lift system to help the mid-engine monster avoid scraping its nose on steep inclines.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

That pricing is awesome! $70's for the top trim is almost more exciting to me than starting at $58k.

It would have been easy for Chevy to say starts at $60k and then add a couple options and you're at $90k+

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

[Kensington]
