The biggest revolution in Corvette history saw the iconic American sports car adopt an exotic new design and, more importantly, a mid-engine configuration. We’re talking about a naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 that unleashes up to 495 horsepower through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. No manual gearbox is offered this time. The similarly redesigned Corvette Convertible gets a retractable hard top that makes the cabin quieter and results in a more natural coupe profile when closed.
