The National Corvette Museum’s Anniversary Celebration was held last week and one of the Corvette Team members we always appreciate hearing from is Corvette Assembly Plant Manager Kai Spande. Kai’s seminar was held live at the Corvette Museum while also being streamed to virtual registrants, and his goal was to inform customers and enthusiasts and keep us up-to-date with all the activity at the assembly plant. The NCM has posted the full 1-hour video which we are sharing below.

Now that the 2020 Corvette Convertibles are being produced and shipped to dealers, we are just now starting to see some of the various color combinations available to buyers. Because of the COVID shutdowns, the number of different colored Convertibles we have actually spied has been limited, so we’re enjoying the discovery of checking out the newest Corvette model in the 12 available colors.

We told you a few weeks ago about a challenge between the new mid-engine Corvette and the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.
Both vehicles feature 6.2-liter engines, but the Trackhawk’s is supercharged and makes 707 horsepower, compared to the 495 horses provided by the stock 2020 Corvette.
Like its owner, this 1966 Corvette Sting Ray 427 coupe is a survivor.
Slightly less than 10,00 coupes were produced in St. Louis that year, with another 17,762 convertibles leaving the Missouri plant.

It was only a matter of time before someone decided to take the inner workings of the new mid-engine Corvette and transform it into something even more exclusive.
That’s what ARES Design has done with its Panther ProgettoUno, with just 24 of these C8-based supercars slated to be built at a cost of a half-million bucks apiece!

If you’re not watching Throttle House, you are missing out on one of the best new YouTube channels to come along in some time. Hosted by James and Thomas, the show regularly showcases vehicle testing and comparisons from a race track in Canada. With production values that remind us of the old Top Gear, as well as the fun chemistry between the two, it has become a must-watch for us, especially when a Corvette is featured!
DETROIT — The Chevrolet Corvette C8.R, Corvette Racing’s first-ever mid-engine GT Le Mans challenger in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, is now available on iRacing. As part of the 2020 Season 4 build, iRacers can purchase the new car to compete in events throughout the service, including iRacing’s IMSA Online SportsCar Championship.
Speculation has been rampant for years that the C8 Corvette would feature an electric version.
Now GM-Trucks.com is reporting that it has exclusively reviewed documents indicating electric all-wheel-drive (eAWD) will be an option on the Stingray coupe and convertible versions as soon as the 2023 model year, though the pandemic may have slowed down the development enough that the feature may not arrive until 2024.
