2021 Chevrolet Corvette
Kraft and Klasse Grand Touring Vehicle story
The C8 Corvette represents the most significant transformation in Corvette history. For the first time, Chevrolet moved the engine behind the driver, creating a true mid-engine sports car capable of delivering exotic-car performance at a fraction of the cost of its European rivals.
Finished in Torch Red and featuring a power-retractable hardtop, this Corvette combines breathtaking performance, dramatic styling, and everyday usability. Whether cruising through Fredericksburg or attacking the curves of the Texas Hill Country, the C8 delivers an experience that feels every bit as special as cars costing two or three times as much.
Engine
Power comes from Chevrolet’s legendary 6.2-liter LT2 naturally aspirated V8, producing 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque when equipped with the performance exhaust system.
Mounted directly behind the driver, the LT2 delivers immediate throttle response, relentless acceleration, and the unmistakable sound of an American V8. The engine’s broad torque curve makes the Corvette effortless to drive while still delivering supercar-level performance when called upon.
Wheels and tires
The Corvette rides on staggered performance wheels measuring 19 inches in front and 20 inches in the rear, wrapped in high-performance tires.
The wider rear tires help put nearly 500 horsepower to the pavement while providing outstanding grip and stability. Combined with the Corvette’s mid-engine architecture, the wheel and tire package delivers exceptional balance and cornering confidence.
Brakes
Large four-wheel ventilated disc brakes provide powerful and consistent stopping performance.
The Corvette’s braking system is engineered to match its impressive acceleration and handling capabilities, delivering confident stopping power whether cruising through town or exploring winding Hill Country roads.
Transmission
The Corvette features an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission developed specifically for the C8 platform.
Unlike traditional automatics, the dual-clutch design delivers lightning-fast gear changes while maintaining smooth operation during everyday driving. Drivers can enjoy fully automatic operation or take control using paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel.
