C8 CORVETTE IS SO POWERFUL, IT CANNOT BE CONTAINED

It has been some time since we have reported on new rumors of the C8 Corvette, as the news has been more of the same, C8’s sightings here and there, ever changing release dates and more camouflaged pictures.

Well there is some major news coming out of reliable sources that we found interesting.

First is the release date. The rumors are the production date has been pushed all the way to the end of this year.

Second is that the prototype, with a twin-turbocharged V8 is so powerful it is causing a “structural distortion of the aluminum spaceframe” during tests. There is a report that in one case the engine moved so much that the rear window was broken!

Third is that the C7 will cease production once the C8 enters production. This means that this may be the last year for a front engine Corvette, and for the most powerful Corvette ever produced; the ZR1. What a collectors item this could be!
