This past weekend, the May 2018 cover of Car and Driver magazine leaked on the internet. It featured an image of the 2020 mid-engine Corvette. The article about the 'Vette also leaked, giving Corvette enthusiasts around the globe their best look at the car yet.
Welcome to the reboot of an American icon the latest generation of one of the greatest sports cars ever made. it's the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and this is a huge reinvention for this car more changes than we've ever seen before. so many that I hardly know where to begin but the engine is always a safe bet now normally when you talk about a Corvette you want to talk about the engine.
You go pop the hood this time the engines back here this is the first mid-engine Corvette but don't worry it's still packing a big liters to be specific just like before should be not going with a turbo charged or anything like that, but they still managed to find a more horse power than before with the performance exhaust this thing puts down horse power and combined with a new -speed dual-clutch transmission means this thing can get from zero to in less than three seconds that's almost as fast as the old zero.

Now moving the engine to the back means better handling of course but that also means shifting the cabin forward moving the driver closer to the front of the car and it means a completely new interior.

Chevrolet said they took inspiration from fighter jets to make this very driver focused specifically name-dropping the f- and the f- and that certainly looks pretty radical in there the -inch infotainment screen is tilted toward the driver and I think it looks pretty good, but I'm a little worried about that row of buttons on the right there. we'll see how that works in practice because the cockpit shifted forward by and a half inches the center of gravity is actually right next to the drivers hip which should give unparalleled feel when driving this thing out on the track the short nose makes this Corvette look significantly different than any Corvette we've seen before but still it's familiar and frankly I think it looks really good but we still got two big questions.
Number one how much is it going to cost and number two what's it going to be like to drive I look forward to getting answers to both of those in the coming months. That's what I think about the new Corvette CA but let us know what you think in comments is mid-engined a good thing and what about that interior?
