SlideshowCorvette C8 Mid Engine Part Two
Apparently a necessity for some Corvette owners, the 2020 C8 will accommodate two golf bags.
Targa roof storage is more vertical on the C8, compared to the horizontal storage on previous Corvettes.
2020 Corvette C8 in Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic as seen at the Petersen Museum reveal on July 27, 2019.
Having been center mounted in the C7, Corvette tail pipes returned to the left and right for the 2020 C8.
If it looks good, then show it off! Continuing the fine tradition of the C6 ZR1, the 2020 C8 Corvette engine is visible for all to admire.

Dual-element LED taillamps include animated turn signals.
Wheel size:
Front: 19-inch x 8.5-inch (w/5 x 120mm bolt pattern)
Rear: 20-inch x 11-inch (w/5 x 120mm bolt pattern)
A convertible has been a part of the Corvette story since the first generation; you'll recall that the C1 Corvettes were all convertibles. That noble tradition continues with the C8.
Like the radical changes seen throughout the C8, the convertible was revolutionary and for the first time it is not a ragtop design. In many ways it is close to the Targa roof on the coupe with the distinct difference that the Targa roof removal is a manual operation.
The convertible C8 Corvette is a $7,300 premium. There is also ~80 lbs. weight gain, mostly due to the six electric motors required to perform the complex top opening and closing functions.
Easter Egg Anyone?
You'll need to look carefully, but etched into the headlights is a C8 Corvette logo. It isn't obvious, but it is tiny. Happy searching!

WAITING FORMY S51 STINGRAY TO BE BUILT.
Hi Felippe:
Thank you for your comment, but I will disagree. Corvettes typically have not had a real mid-front configuration.
I to am disappointed at the lack of a manual transmission but there is some justification. Also, they were never practical and are being made with traditional Corvette materials.
~paul
It always was mid engine, never heard about mid-front? Until 2019 it was too 50-50, and now is 40-60.
I really can't see the advantage: Don't drive as a Corvette anymore, don't looks like a Corvette, don't have the practicality of a Corvette, don't use the materials of a Corvette, don't have stick shift like every single Corvette and in the Z06 version don't even sounds like a Corvette anymore.
What is this? a Ferrari 458 replica that GM made and named a "Corvette"? This is just a mistake.
