2020 Corvette Stingray Review ― Test Drive of the New Corvette C8
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มิ.ย. 2024
- We finally get our hands on the new mid-engine 2020 Corvette Stingray. In this video review of the Corvette C8, Kurt Niebuhr walks us through the interior, the results from our test track and what it's like to drive.
With a mid-engine design and low price, the 2020 Corvette C8 promises a lot. Fortunately, it delivers. The C8 is enormous fun to drive on mountain roads, quick on our test track and comfortable on the daily commute. This Corvette is a true working-class sports car that makes us question the value of costlier competition.
For 2020, the Corvette has undergone the most radical redesign in its 67-year history. Believing that they had squeezed every ounce of performance they could from the Corvette's classic front-engine and rear-drive layout, Chevrolet's engineers decided a new mid-engine layout was the way to go for its inherent advantages in weight distribution. Risky? Yes. But the result is hugely impressive.
It's rare to see a car, let alone an institution like the Corvette, so radically transformed. But Chevrolet has taken its performance icon and improved it in nearly every way. It's bonkers fast, handles beautifully, and still manages traffic and daily errands. The styling may be controversial, but its price and performance certainly are not.
In terms of performance, the Corvette C8 equals or outshines cars costing two to three times as much. The new 6.2-liter V8 and dual-clutch automatic transmission combo is formidable on the track but offers plenty of oomph and smooth operation in nearly any condition. The new Corvette also imparts more information about its handling balance and grip, thereby giving its driver more confidence in taking the car up to its handling limits.
As with past Corvettes, the C8 is practical for both daily driving and long trips. Although the total cargo area isn't as usable as before, it's still large enough to fit a few pieces of luggage. There's still space for the coupe's removable targa roof panel top in the rear, and the lack of an engine up front means there's a small frunk in the nose. The new interior has a sharp, driver-focused design and fine materials throughout. A Corvette convertible is on its way, too.
It's easy to be impressed by the new Corvette C8. Its performance rivals that of more expensive sports cars, yet the Corvette is still everyday comfortable and practical. But it's the performance that amazes the most with easily explorable yet considerable limits. The transformation has been nothing short of shocking.

Is there a sports car you'd rather have other than the new C8 Corvette?
I think I would go for the Porsche 911 or BMW 8 Series, but the C8 is awesome as well.
Edmunds why were your performance number so significantly slower than what GM promised and the big 3 car mags (C&D, MT, R&T) found? Your zero to 60 at 3,2 is significantly slower than the 2.8 - 2.9 sec found elsewhere. And your 1/4 mile is slower too. What would you attribute to this difference?
@@jingobatt3098 They said in the video the slower times are due to the 91 octane vs 93 and regular road pavement.
yes.....the one that had a way better interior than this and space for stuff other than golf bags
I don't think you can beat the Corvette for the money. It is the one to beat. If money were no object I think the Koenigsegg is incredible.
Chevy made the nsx we always wanted.. confused if I’m mad at Acura or impressed by GM..
chaltain_ I’m more mad at Acura. Waited all these years for a new NSX & they came out with what they came out with. meanwhile this Corvette is what we were hoping the NSX would be.
Started drinking a little too early?
Why are people unhappy with the NSX? It's definitely over priced, which is a shame, but other than that it seems pretty great. Just an honest question.
wtfdoihavetodohere because people just can't get over their nostalgia of the original NSX.
This isn't a Japanese car and it isn't made in Ohio either lol.
The first time I've ever wanted a Corvette.
N. Bentley damn am sure u regret owning those german cara huh?
N. Bentley geez guess u been lucky everybody i known have had issues from the ims bearing on their porsche to electrical problems on the bmw and plain being expensive to maintain.
Evo Shift very true!
Evo Shift count the camaro in there too like the ss 1le is kicking shit bmw
Carson Dss who u tellin! I know this they are garbage as far as reliability
I'm loving the fact that this car even exists in today's world.
Yeah I'm so glad that it is naturally aspirated, in fact, as a "do it yourself" kind of guy, I think I even prefer this version to the more complex and heavy hybrid version that is supposedly coming out. It's about time that America got a modern mid-engine sports car to compete with the European cars. A manual option would have been the cherry on top but you can't have everything.
and its still a good old small block V8 and not some electric hybrid attempt
@@freeautoinsurance365 the hybrid is coming, but definitely this is the one to have. Just a v8 and the driver!
@@SangheiliSpecOp so front-engine rear-wheel-drive isn't modern?! Kiss my entire ass!
@@pontiacGXPfan I think you misinterpreted my comment. I mean that there are other mid engine cars, but most of them are old cars. It's nice to have a mainstream, modern mid engine car that is attainable. I think that front engine cars can also be great, I mean, probably 97% of all cars people drive in the USA is front engined.
If you do want to get technical though, the mid-engine design layout is "newer" than the front layout and is typically what the more advanced and expensive supercars go for because that layout is more advantageous for handing. It's probably just easier for the big auto makers here to follow the trend and keep the costs of manufacturing down. All the more reason to give Chevrolet praise for bucking the trend and making an affordable American supercar
"listen to that"
*Music in the background*
"Sounds so good"
Anyone know what song that is?
I'm very excited to hear what a mid engine vette sounds like. It needs to come out already.
Alklazaris Spoiler alert.... damn near the exact same as the C7 as it has the same engine.
Can’t wait to get this used in 5 years!
lol, Why would you want an old car?
V8Supercar1 cheaper lol
@@EpiCz_Izzy lol, I hear ya.
@@hanskennedy3153 Not corvettes. Owners tend to take care of them. I know people with C6 corvettes that still have them in excellent condition.
@@V8Supercar1 Why would you want a new car and waste your money on a depreciating asset?
Two of my all time favorite cars my entire life has always been the Corvette and Lamborghini's. Lambo's have always been the "maybe when i hit the lottery" car while the Corvette is my "actually realistically affordable if i get a good job and save up" car. I got a good job and started saving up to get a Corvette in a couple years and then the Corvette basically turned into a Lamborghini.
Excitement intensifies.
Same story here, the release of the C8 has aligned perfectly with my "mid-life" crisis.
Everyone wants manual in the Corvette except for people that actually buy them
except for people that actually buy them new.
From what I've heard automatic transmissions these days can out perform even the most experienced manual users. The shifting is instantaneous and smart. I've beaten people in an automatic over their manual. (Though they could just be lousy at it).
I am man enough to admit I hate the manual transmission of the corvette. It is one of the most unforgiving transmissions I've ever used. Now I am not the best at manual, but I learned on a corvette specifically because my instructor told me if I can learn to drive stick on a Vette I can drive stick on anything. That says something about how technical a Vette can be.
@@alklazaris3741 honestly I just find stick/manual more engaging while I'm driving. Tapping a paddle or button just isn't the same.
shadowreaver752 the point of a new sports car and this entry level super car is to go FAST. Not engagingly slow. I drive a GT3 with PDK. Why would you buy a fast car THEN BUY the SLOWER model? If you want to row the gears buy a Miata . There’s no race car with a manual. There’s nothing magic about a manual especially in traffic. Plus the new manuals have rev matching which take out the heel toeing engagement. This exactly why supercar manufacturers don’t offer manuals
Alklazaris you’re completely correct. The manual is for slower drivers . The Porsche GT3 manual is more than a half second slower to 60 than the PDK version. The new dual clutch transmissions are just magic. Lewis Hamilton does NOT have a manual in his F1 car. Ferrari doesn’t even make one. This car will be great with the Dual Clutch transmission. And it will blow away any guy pushing in his clutch pedal
Us Aussies are extremely excited to see our first ever corvette straight out of the factory
You might feel different if you have to live with this car everyday
The reviewer did a pretty good job. The new C8 is really growing on me.
I thought he was ok. A bit too unoriginal and middle of the road, but not bad. He's no Johnny lieberman.
Shannon Nicholson, I agree on the review part, just not on the 'growing on' part!😁 He did a great job on the review 👏, with the right amount of humor, humility, knowledge, and great shots/soundclips! I loved the car from the moment Mark Reuss revealed the 0-60, then especially the PRICE (the GASPS in the crowd)! I sort of liked it (wanted to, but was concerned about $$) before the official reveal- when all the 'leaks' were out. Perfect?, NO. But my slight annoyances like it weighing 3600lb, and big @$$, and no manual are miniscule compared to the EXTREME value, performance, and exoticism it brings for the $. With all the recent GM screw-ups, I was concerned with this gen. Corvette, NOT ANYMORE!! Check out where Ford is going with the Mustang Name- electric soccermom crossover, Muahaha! Corvette- Motor Trend's 2020 Car of the Year, instead.
GM..you are legendary by making the Corvette a classic with every Gen from C1 to C8.. Good job. They are all "a piece of artwork."
"Listen to that..." All I hear is music playing over the video.
That's the editor fucking with him
@@pappyodanial lol!!!
I can never understand it. It may be the editors that aren't into cars that much and just want to edit stuff regardless of actual content and audience.
No need for generic crappy background music, but it never fails, it's always there.
I'm excited to see the wide body Z06 version of this car!
Already talked to my local dealer, no dates for its release...
I want to buy one custom color hopefully there's a matte option.
I actually like to see the C8 Z06.
The designers call the steering wheel a “ squricle “ lol
Sounds good to me.
Yeah the guy on Leno's garage said that! :-)
Say that 10 Times fast
We've used the term "squircle" in engineering for a long time to model various phenomena, including flow nets under dams and concrete slab cracking. Also a useful concept in all branches of engineering that analyze materials stress, such as Structural, Civil, Automotive, Aerospace, and Mechanical Engineering. There's a squircle principle that we use when meshing finite element models to calculate material stresses. Essentially, we create a net of curvilinear quadrilaterals where the corners are orthogonal and the rough midpoints of the four curved lines of the elements in the net are tangent to inscribed circles. The better it's done, the more accurate the resulting matrix stress analysis is in representing the actual stress that the material will see.
Someone said lets reinvent the wheel and the design department took it literally
At this price point why would you get anything else PERIOD.
Exactly
Because i drive manual!!! only way to actually enjoy and have fun
Because i drive manual!!! only way to actually enjoy and have fun
@@user-jk3ge4xc4b good point but we must embrace the future or get a manual swap 😁
A Z06 is only around 10k more. But yea i'm excited to see these out there.
The first time I've truly been impressed with a Corvette in many decades, not to mention the great starting price that puts it in the hands of regular people, not just billionaires. Excellent work, G.M. :)
I think the NSX plant just stopped.
They stopped making the NSX in the 90s. The new thing they make with an NSX badge is not an NSX.
@pw jc _ That's a shame because now you will dream about buying European out of factory junk super cars like Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, Lamborghini Aventador, Audi R8 etc. I am sorry for you.
No ....... I think they are producing cars for Chevrolet! Jack
Kia should make their version of a 90's nsx!
V6 pop/up headlight/T-top/aluminum
@@DarnellHendeason-dk3uw yep go run 2 the asians!!get a spine!!
I've been saying this since this thing was announced. Chevy really changed the performance car landscape with this thing. They built an affordable (relative to the competition) mid-engine sports car that's superior to pretty much everything in its price range. Heck even other mid-engine cars aren't really looking that compelling. Lotus Evora 400 & 410 come to mind which are performance monsters but they're not that great interior and feature wise. Porsche has Cayman which might be nicer on the inside, but down on power.
This new car is such a disruption its kind of unreal. The C7 ZR1 has supercar like numbers, the C8 version whenever that happens is probably going to crush some very expensive stuff for a much much lower price.
It's adjusted my 3 year plan on purchasing a sports car. I was looking into older Ferrari's, newer amg models, m series etc... most of which would be around the 50k / 60k mark. Now this is released, ill be able to have modern tech with mid engine greatness. Along with gm cheap reliability
Once everyone owns this vehicle, the Corvette C8 will lose the hype. The Porsche Cayman offers a manual and falls into a Grand Tourer. The GT4 Cayman has very similar performance and a regular person driving on the freeway really not going to test the benchmarks. Lotus Evora uses a minimalist direction in their interior design to save weight and people who drive sport cars find Evora more thrilling getting rid of the luxury items . You don't really see Evora's on the road. Evora GT has similar performance a the GT4 Cayman.
Corvette targets the Corvette consumer. If someone wanted a lower end supercar, Nissan GT-R, Mercedes GT AMG, and Audi R8 is in that market.
C7 handles better than the C8 (higher lateral G's etc). This information is straight from GM Engineers that built and tested the C8. But the C8 will ultimately be a faster car due to its better power to weight ratio.
But the C7 is a great handling car (pulled 1.16 lateral Gs). The highest of any car tested by many magazines.It will be interesting to see what the C8, ZO6 can do once it comes out. So far GM has been pretty quiet as far as track times for the base model C8. I believe that's because the times are not as good as people had hoped.
Love it can't wait till I get it!!
@@jordanking6939 too bad kid but c.8 changed the
Picture!! Wah! Wah!
I like this channel’s style. Every reaction/perspective feels genuine and the testing was thorough! Subscribed
And they haven’t given Doug one of these yet smh...
J. W. Are they stupid?? TH-cam is where absolutely everyone goes for car reviews not a fckng magazine... they’re living in 2010
They saw what he did to the PT, and he owns a GT.
He explained why, but the bottom line is that GM is afraid. He would make fun of the quirks, and not be blown away by the features. And, yes GM is still living in the 2000s.
@@garymathe9863 No, bottom line is, they don't give their Corvettes to TH-camrs, they don't view them as reliable, and proper "informants".
Because doug isn't a serious reviewer lol
One important thing about the Corvette!!
I forgot the head designers name, but he was with Jay Leno and he mentioned that each new corvette is intentionally slowed at first so that drivers aren’t red lining it and messing up the engine and transmission. It’s meant to go easy on the motor so it will last longer. That being said, it will be “faster” after the engine gets worn in.
Honestly, I think this is great. I didn’t even consider nerfing a car. Great thinking on Chevy’s part.
Tadge Juntcher (sp) lol
I wondering how they did that? Less timing or lower rev limit?...or maybe only allowing 80% throttle.
They did that on the C-7 too.
nighthawk0077 All within the ECU, the break-in time is set until a given mileage is passed. Most manufacturers practice break-in periods with new cars and performance vehicles typically have an emphasis on this beyond a typical commuter.
Ed Dean No way. I didn’t know that.
No one has ever claimed you're not a performance driver for driving a dual-clutch. But they would absolutely take away your driver's-card for not knowing this car is a DCT.
AMEN...
Just because he didn't mention it doesn't mean he doesn't know it.
@@JAnx01 He called it automatic..
@@vesoradev so does car & driver and chevy, because it is: www.caranddriver.com/news/a28531606/2020-chevy-corvette-manual-transmission/

Finally a good C8 review. Props
True dat!
Glad someone thought so because I didn’t
@@usernameunknown658 lol same, I've seen way better already
Absolutely the most comprehensive and carefully put together video review of the new Corvette. Kudos for a fantastic job, sir.
CORVETTE! The #1 performance bargain, since 1953! GOD Bless America!
Spot on commentary for the interior. In my view it looks better than most others 'exotics.' Probably the most positive review of the C8 so far. Looking forward to your long term reviews!
Great video and good job on the commentary I really enjoyed it! this is what I used to like on Motor Trend so please keep it this way😉
Wow...for whatever the reason I enjoyed this C8 review more than the billion other ones I've watched. Thanks.
This is the review that we should have gotten months ago. Best review I’ve seen of this car yet
GM: We finally made a mid-engined Corvette. And we tried.
Everyone else: Oh shit.
😂😂
And you fuck it up by making it like a Ferrari
@@pontiacGXPfan Huh? Don't even know what that means. It's fast like a Ferrari but with a fraction of the maintenance cost. How is that "fuckin it up"?
@@pontiacGXPfan Yeah that makes sense. GM should've modeled it after a Honda Civic instead of a world class sports car. Corvettes have looked like the front engine Ferraris for the past couple of generations, now they look like the mid engine variety and cost a fraction of the price while competing against them performance wise. Yeah... GM really fucked up making it like a Ferrari. lol
@@swordmonkey6635 because by doing so it shows it all GM knows how to do is Copycat from everyone else
Doug DeMuro will be more than happy to have a VERY close look at this quirky steering wheel
Benjamin Michael von Lichtenwald no he will hate this car and say it’s still not a super car because it doesn’t cost $150k+
Who is Doug Demure?
;l
Democrats killed America and I stood by & watched he’s a TH-camr that reviews cars

One of these was outside of my high school a couple days ago. Couldn’t believe it! Beautiful car!!
Thanks for covering the details, and testing it like a regular person.
Nice review! This is the first Corvette I’d want since the 1960s
Beyond BEAUTIFUL. I legit like the overall packaging of exterior design and interior design much more than a mclaren , lambo or Ferrari. So much more unique.
Outstanding review. Thanks Kurt - great work.
The timing when he said "I'll believe it when i see it" was dead on.
That car is beautiful - and I love that blue color.
Baby blue exterior with Mustard yellow interior.
Yeah, I like it!
That inclined bar is gonna get in the way. Sexy time is already hard enough in 2 seaters... 😑

Beautiful car well executed and great review. Just awesome!
Square top steering wheel is for visibility over the dash, and to see the instrument cluster better.
See: latest Ford GT, same shape steering wheel.
INDEPENDENC CITY MOTORING , *WELL NO DUH!!!,,, YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOW THAT SINCE KINDERGARTEN!!! , NOT FROM THESE STUPID TH-cam VIDEOS!!*

@@STUPIDYOUTUB00000000 Easy there all-CAPS boy
JOHN VALENTINE , BE QUIET THERE `WEAK GENITALS BOY`.*
I’m pretty sure it isn’t, it’s for leg room. The old wheel was round but the pivot wasn’t centred, it was lower on the wheel to have the wheel raised, also for leg room. This time they said fuck it and made it square.
Damn I’m a ford guy but ford really messed up by messing up the mustang name and chevy changed the game with this corvette
Edit: (talking about the ev mustang)
Santiago, please share your Mustang complaints. I do like both Corvette and Mustang, but older versions.
Just wait. Chevy will eventually push out the electric Corvette mini van.

What a review. This car has more than lived up to its ground breaking status as the exotic killer. Its simply off the charts what this means in the world of sports cars. The scope of the markets that this car overshadows is beyond comprehension. Does this one car eradicate the used exotic car market in its base form? How does the new 992 series hold up to a car this good for this little? This is about as heavy of a hitter sports car than any in recent memory.
Dude get off drugs... The C8 can be whatever you wanted to be but in real life it is just a poor man's Ferrari. There's no exclusivity or rarity factor with a C8. It will never be an exotic, sorry to disappoint you 🤷♂️
@@alexl6433 You have been brainwashed. The car is already better than ANY 458 Italia. This C8 series will utterly destroy the exotic market and relegate them to the equivalent of expensive kit cars. Half of those exotics dont even work as actual road cars anyway.
@@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921 dude the C8 hasn't even been built yet for the public, all the cars you've seen reviewed and driven are for the press. Wait to see how good or bad this car is, GM is not the most reliable car company out there...
@@alexl6433 You havent been paying attention lately to the awards and accolades this one car is racking up. Its BEYOND any previous Corvette because this is a BRAND NEW CAR that had never even believed to be possible a few years ago for anywhere near this price. This platform is on a entirely different level as a Supra or any Cayman gt 4 thingy. This is not only a real super car its so tight its technically a exotic car in every aspect possible. Could you imagine if this car said Alfa Romeo on it. They wanted 300k for their 8C thats literally far less of a car in every aspect than a 80k Vette. This car is very different than anything on the road today bar none. The C8 is simply a new level of standard similar to teslas cars. That was said before but its true.
@@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921 🤦♂️ hard to make people understand that this is not an exotic car... Look up the definition of "Exotic" in the dictionary.
Excellent design for the money. kurt has a funny dry sense of humor. Great review, fun stuff!!!!!
LOL. I hear you, regarding drive modes in LA. I'm always shocked when I see the blizzards and what not of November in other parts of the country, while we suffer here with 9 months of summer.
Was watching a vid and they were saying the regular low level trim seat is the most comfortable for long drives.
Actually, that and the ride difference between stock and magnetic ride are two issues I am very concerned about.
No shit? Have you not sat in racing seats? They're made to keep you in place and able to drive at the limits, not pamper you.
Exactly and these are a third option for a vehicle for there average buyer to
I don't understand why people keep harping on the center row of buttons. I think it is a genius design point. All those buttons are out of the way, not taking up dash space, and they are almost all 'set-and-forget' functions anyway. If it was like every other car the reviews would be like: "... well, they could have done something new and interesting but..." And they did. I love the design.
I think it will just confuse People at first that's all but will learn them real fast.
It would take some getting used to.
this is the only legitimate road review on the internet. Road reviews are severely lacking. Not that we don't care about track and numbers, but there's so much more to know!
Totally awesome I really wish that I could drive again I would get one of these
I've never considered a new General Motors car until this happened.
You should watch this week's Jay Leno's Garage. A thorough, thoughtful conversation w the head of design, and test drive.
VERY well done!
Not "fawning", but direct, critical honest analysis.
Contrasted with other cars in direct comparison and noted +'s and -'s.
Useful for practical applicable evaluations.
Kurt - excellent test video! So, finally GM engineers decided to do real engineering! Kudos on their efforts and the beautiful result. I've been around since before GM first rear engined car was named Convair...

Good car and review, it's evident when the comments are filled with "doesn't he know its a dual-clutch" comments. Kiddies, to us older folks - no clutch pedal = automatic.
Yeah, that's what people say when they don't know the difference.

Great review!
Says “listen to that” ... plays music
Mad respect for giving automatic transmissions their due
And the method by which he did, was to be condescending to manuals. Oh that's an intelligent approach to the subject. Not. But instead he assumed everyone else should want the same thing he wants, for the reasons he wanted it. The C8 should be offered with a manual. The new Supra should be offered with a manual. Every performance sports car should be offered with a manual. They are less problematic, less expensive, simpler, durable, offer a connection with the car that no auto will ever be able to replicate. They are still more efficient than most autos. The reason some autos do better is merely because the gearing is taller on the autos which keeps the RPM lower.
I love it! It is mesmerizing, it could take me anywhere! Except where mine does, to 1987 😂
I love the anti road head barrier idea
I want it. Looks good in that colour too. You can tell they’ve been inspired buy Ferrari when looking at the interior.
I only watched because of the color.
Like I said: a copycat Ferrari
I need this vehicle. My life has no meaning without it.
Lol I feel yuh
That's a beautiful spec. Probably exactly how I'd order mine
This guy is great. Understated works. Sometimes less is more.
Corvette and CyberTruck are really going to change the Automotive world. 🔥
rolando limon ...It's apparent you haven't seen the cyber truck. LOL.
blipco5 it starts 20k cheaper than corvette, it’ll sell on cool factor alone. It’s gonna sell like crazy based on the fresh idea even if it sucks. All pickup trucks have become a homogeneous fleet...
rolando limon ...Trucks are designed with practicality in mind (tho grossly overpriced these days). I doubt Tesla is going to produce these.
Cyber truck will never go into production.
@@russellhueners8499 what about those 150'000 pre-orders? it's more pre-orders than every corvette sold in the last 5 years
in 24 hours...
“That’s a Lotus Elise!”
What did the girl look like!
Great job! It’s the single solid review that I saw of the C8 Corvette so far! There are the tester thoughts AND THE NUMBERS to back them up. Please, here a couple of sugestions for those next videos: a comparative with the same model of the C7 ( so we would be able to tell the improment in performance and with the real (not in price, but in fact it is) competition: the 992 Porsche Carrera S. Also, a top speed test would be great. Thanks and SUBSCRIBED!
Can't wait I Went with the black with red interior. Z51 package, 2 Lt trim, high spoiler, red calibers, 5-open-spoke Carbon Flash-painted aluminum wheels with machined edge . Can't wait for this bad boy
Did the Porsche guys like the Vette? Drive by that Porsche performance center all the time. 😊
Well the Transmission in the C8 is Por PDK 🤗
Like the "turbo" electric Porsche videos ignored Tesla, they haven't acknowledged the new Corvette exists yet.

5:39 did the Vette just spit flames ?!?
Most of us dream of owning a fancy sports car like a Ferrari or Lambo etc, but very few of us could ever hope to afford one. This car makes that dream actually achievable for many. Impressive.
