You may not have heard, but General Motors is working on a mid-engine C8 Chevrolet Corvette. It’s a super secret project, we swear. So secret in fact, that it’s nearly impossible to avoid new spy photos, rumors, or renderings. While GM has yet to confirm it is developing a mid-engine Corvette, there’s plenty of tangible evidence available that’d make even the most hardened skeptic a believer. Or, maybe, GM is pulling one of the greatest April Fools’ jokes ever, which would upset a majority of the planet’s population.
The latest 3D rendering above doesn’t present many new details. Up front, the C8 Chevrolet Corvette rendering not only looks similar to what we’ve spotted in the various spy photos, which means it borrows several styling cues for the current-generation C7 Corvette. The designer took liberties with some of the more delicate details such as the lip on the front splitter and other minute body creases. However, it matches what the car captured in countless photos.
This rendering has a large inlet behind the door as you move down the side of the vehicle, which we’ve seen in other renderings, too. Though in this video it appears to be a slightly different design. We won’t know how accurate many of these renderings are until Chevy introduces the production model. The rear fascia of the rendering looks indention to the rear fascia spotted on the prototypes. However, the designer of the rendering admitted in the video description that the taillights are not accurate. Otherwise, this looks like the C8 Chevrolet Corvette we’ll be seeing something this year.
The C8 Chevrolet Corvette remains under wraps as GM continues its development, which has been delayed. The car was supposed to debut at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year; however, the automaker had to postpone. Now, it’s likely GM will debut the car at the end of August with production beginning in December.

If it looks anywhere near this 3D render I’ll be quite impressed.
Let’s just say right now that you will be anyway! 😉
I don’t like the rendering. Hope it looks better when revealed.
Nice Honda Accord you got there
Looks good! It’s probably pretty close, i would presume the headlights will be different but proportions looks about right from what we have seen so far.
that klingon hood is worrisome but perhaps that was artistic license.
still not a fan of the spoiler but that looks to be optional based on prototypes.
the back is still a little too much camaro for me.
and if the camaro’s rear visibility was an issue for some, this looks to be even worse.
Nope, doesn’t look like a Corvette.
I’ll keep the Targa GTS that replaced the C7 I had, but it will be interesting to see what the real C8 looks like, at some point.
It’s a mid-engine Corvette and if Bob Lutz is right that the cost will be about $70K for the base model, Chevrolet may sell over 30,000 units in the C8 Corvette’s first year.
I wish i have one ha
Looks like a Ferrari 430
It looks nothing like the F430 I own… The 2005-2009 F430 exterior and interior design is truly amazing and every time l look at it I’m drawn in…and I’m not alone. I’ve yet to hear anyone say anything close reference GM’s disproportional C8….
Ferrari for sure!
Death if an American icon.
That’s why I drive a 5.0 Mustang
A stingray killed the crocodile hunter. Chevy is sending this one to finish the rest of us off. RIP any classic beauty and design. Hello amazing performance for the dollar.
I’ll keep my 72 Stingray. But wish I had that performance!
Back of the C8 not pretty. Looks more like a muscle car.. It’s a sports car It needs a fat ass, like Hennessey F5 or Italian design..
Has anyone else noticed how the rear glass resembles the Transformer’s Logo?
Maybe it’s the subliminal messages of watching this stuff manifesting into the younger generation’s designs…
Oh please. Check the 2019 Ford GT.
Come on Chevy. Grow a set and get original!
Beautiful car,if look anything like this, Chevy knocked it out of the park

I’m quite pleased with these renderings. Beautiful ❤️
Now, wouldn’t it be truly stellar if it were an EV that led the future of sports cars and not simply one that will soon be ICED in it’s past.
I like it…..Can I see it in a convertible? I like my open air sports cars
As many of you know the mid engine Corvette is going to be released in July of this year and will be a great game changer I strongly believe we have a winner bar none !!!
It’s a beautiful car no doubt about it, I hope it is a great success. Just get the first series out with the fewest glitches as possible and back it with great service. Anyone know the warranty period?
It’s literally exactly like the looks like now thats its been revealed, did the guy see it first? It’s literally exactly what it looks like now. He must have seen one…
