Corvette Takes the Autocar 2022 Dream Car of the Year Award

Add another award for Chevy’s outstanding eighth-generation Corvette.

Autocar Awards 2022 – out of the United Kingdom – has selected the mid-engine Corvette as its best dream car, saying “Chevrolet really got this one right.”

“This Corvette turns like none before it, and when it adopts its cornering stance, it remains one that’s seriously adjustable and very exploitable while it does so,” the website writes. “Better still, it does this with one of the most charismatic engines still in production. No other car in its sphere (unless you count front-engined muscle cars, and we kinda don’t any more, not for this car) retains an atmospheric V8.

It has a lovely response, with a broad spread of torque and, if breathy at the very top end, it’s willing to muscle way beyond 6000rpm with vigour and make all the right noises while doing so. The roof comes off too, to help you hear it.”

Shock of shocks, they even praise the interior, noting it has “a convincing level of technology and solid levels of fit and finish” so “the Corvette even gets that right.”

All in all, moving the engine backward has given the Corvette a “pure exotic car driving experience: really sharp turn-in, agile responses and, if they get it right, a taut and neutral chassis balance.”

The new Corvette offers what most dream cars do, but at a much more affordable price, Autocar says, concluding that “the best dreams are the most attainable ones, after all, right?”
