2020 Chevrolet Corvette: A New Level of Performance and Handling

In the 60-year history of the Corvette, there has never been a version that matches the design, performance, and technology of the all-new 2020 model. The mid-engine placement opens up many new avenues for better precision surrounded by an exterior that propels this vehicle into the next age.

The 2020 Chevy Corvette Was Born in a Wind Tunnel

By placing the engine in the middle of the vehicle, designers could sculpt the exterior, resulting in a refined and aerodynamic work of art. Exterior components are well-integrated, including heat exchangers behind the openings and a spoiler that keeps the car planted as speeds increase. Door handles and other latch releases are tucked away, permitting a smoother flow of air.

Designers place 19-inch performance tires at the front and 20-inch monsters at the rear, giving the Corvette a wide, imposing grip on the road.

The 2020 Chevy Corvette’s New Engine Is the Most Powerful

Building on its history of producing outstanding small block engines, Chevy installs a new 6.2L 8-cylinder LT2 that pushes the needle with 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque – which is quite an upgrade from the outgoing unit. The engine pairs with a dual-clutch transmission with lightning-quick shifts, and since it does not decelerate between shifts, you will find yourself ahead of traffic.

The available Z51 Package includes summer-only performance tires, a front splitter, performance exhaust, and Magnetic Ride Control 4.0. MRC is an advanced damping system that analyzes the road and makes millisecond adjustments. A special suspension that contains an advanced fluid that provides rigidity improves performance around tight corners.

Chevy packs the interior with a command centre and other features that will provide years of enjoyment. While you nest in either the GT1, GT2, or Competition Sport seat, the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system provides the soundtrack to your adventure. With its suite of applications, you will stay connected and informed. The heads-up display keeps your eyes on the road while the Corvette performs.

Since the vehicle is low to the ground, you will have fewer worries about obstacles with the Front Lift feature. When you approach a speed bump, just activate it and the Corvette raises nearly 2 inches in less than three seconds.
