The start-up animation that will appear on the digital dash display of the C8 mid engine Corvette has allegedly leaked online.
GM-Trucks.com managed to acquire a video file of the start-up animation, making for yet another major leak out of the GM skunkworks.
Short and simple, the digital clip flashes the new Corvette badge badge and the ‘Corvette’ script, which features the words ‘By Chevrolet‘ underneath.
The animation also reveals a new blacked out version of the revised C8 Corvette badge, which we first saw when a photo of the supercar’s key fob leaked online last year.
It’s impossible to confirm this leak’s validity, but it does appear to be the real deal. Thanks to previous leaks, we know the mid engine Corvette is set to introduce this revised Corvette two flags badge. It doesn’t seem very likely that someone would go through the trouble of mocking up a fake animation like this, either.
GM-Trucks.com says it does not want to comment publicly on how it acquired this video clip, but it was allegedly “collected from a publicly available file by a third party and passed along,” to the website.
General Motors is expected to debut the new mid engine Corvette during a special event sometime later this year. The vehicle, which may also adopt the ‘Zora’ name, will ride on an all-new mid-engine rear-wheel drive architecture from the automaker and is expected to offer a forced-induction, dual-overhead cam V8.

Additionally, GM’s factory racing team, Corvette Racing, are expected to field a new GTE Corvette race car based on the mid-engine platform from 2020 onward. The GTE race car may debut alongside the road-going version, just like Chevy did with the Corvette C7.R and C7 Corvette Z06, although this is only hearsay at this point.

I don’t know why but I was expected more…
Amazing this site claims to be the “Authority” on GM, but has failed to notice and report the leaked pic that clearly shows the next-gen Vette’s interior in full mock up. Yup, it is out there and it is real.
Jill,
Why not post a link?
Didn’t think it was proper to post a link to a competing site.
Try Google. YouTube had it but it might have gotten taken down…I am sure you can find it.
That’s old news now that was published on Jan 11.
“Old news” except for GMA which STILL hasn’t shown the photos of the final interior of the C8 yet is supposed to be a GM fan site. What, waiting to use up old spy shots first just to “build suspense”?
“Authority” on GM, eh?
Search “C8 Corvette interior images leaked 2019” in YouTube and you will find at least a few videos with the white interior. Just have to get through the crap channels to find the good pics.
Poor Vlad can’t explain why GMA still hasn’t covered these “old photos” when many others have…………..
I like how the angle of the Corvette flags has gotten more acute as the cars have grown faster and faster.
Which month are we most likely to see the car unveiled?
We are at two months away from the premiére.
Go Corvette!!
Jonathan,
So you’re thinking NY auto show where the first Corvette was shown at MOTORAMA.
It would be a good one.
Unsourced video that can’t be independently verified?
Nope. I’m not buying it. This video proves nothing.
I don’t like the start up video, therefore I will NOT buy the C8.
Except if GM is oh-so-proud of this start up of video, then I am a bit worried about the entire car…
GM always seems to be a day late and a dollar short on the details, doesn’t it…
“GM always seems to be a day late and a dollar short on the details, doesn’t it…”
You might be a lot happier hanging around on a Toyota site, discussing the latest Camry or Prius???
