Description
Corvette is Chevrolet’s iconic performance car. Its importance to the brand cannot be overstated. Thus each new generation is sweated by Chevy’s designers, engineers, marketing staff, and executives to ensure that it sets the bar higher than the preceding version.
With the eighth generation, Chevrolet has done more than raise the bar or move the goalpost—they’ve torn down the stadium and started from scratch. For the first time ever in a production version, the new Corvette features a mid-engine configuration. Though Corvette engineers have experimented with this engine placement over the past several decades, 2020 marks the first time GM has committed it to production cars.
Corvette already had prodigious power on tap, but its front-engine configuration put some limitations on its handling and traction. The new mid-engine Corvette eliminates any final performance barriers and takes the battle to supercar rivals like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren.
It’s the story every Corvette fan needs to read.

This was a quick, brief and delightful read on the Corvette Stingray and my Dad owns a 2017 C7 Corvette Stringray that is black on tan. It is a beauty for sure, so I had to read this being a sometimes driver of this marvelous beast.
This book talks about some of the other beloved Stingray ray models but how modern versions are more streamlined and tripped out with technology but also pays homage to how to the Corvette is one of the great American muscle cars and always will be. I have always been a Chevy girl and hoping to have a coupe version of the Camaro someday.
A must read for any muscle car enthusiast.
Thanks to Netgalley, Chevrolet and Quarto Publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Superbly illustrated with detailed text on the development of the newest generation of the Corvette. Any Corvette fan will appreciate this book. This latest generation of the Corvette is truly ground-breaking with a engine in the rear.
