Overview
The Chevrolet Corvette (C8) is the eighth generation of the Corvette sports car manufactured by American automobile manufacturer Chevrolet. It is the first rear mid-engine Corvette, departing from the longstanding front mid-engine design used for the previous seven generations since its introduction in 1953. Two variants of the C8 would go racing globally. The base model Corvette would serve as the basis for the Chevrolet Corvette C8.R, debuting in July 2019, later going on to win the 2020 and 2021 IMSA SportsCar Championships and the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship. It would later be succeeded by the Z06-based Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.
