Chevrolet released Part 1 today of their long-awaited documentary on the C8 mid-engine Corvette called “Revolution: The Mid-Engine Corvette Development Story” which features members of the Corvette design team sharing their views on what inspired the groundbreaking design of the mid-engine Corvette Stingray.
Part two of the C8 Corvette documentary will feature the perspective of Corvette’s engineers. It’s expected to be available on Monday, January 4th.

I enjoy documentaries, hopefully it was done well and has some excellent content in it. GM did this with the C6 before and it was pretty entertaining.
Two thoughts re: the move to mid-engine:
One, not sure about taking the front-engine concept as far as it could go; Don Panoz’s LeMans prototype racers took the front/mid-engine concept a major step forward, and
Two, Jim Hall’s Group 7 Chaparrals seem to have had influence on the C8, and given his relationship with GM, I would not be surprised if they did.
