Here is the square flywheel of the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 mid-engined

Less than a week before Chevrolet's new-generation Corvette officially introduced itself to the world, Chevy released an image of the mid-engine C8 engine flywheel and, just as the decision to put the engine behind the driver, the steering wheel design of the new car seems to have been inspired by high exotica. As the evolution of the C7's flat-bottomed steering wheel, C8 drivers will focus on a much more square steering wheel, reminiscent of cars such as the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Ford GT, two flagship products of the US dollar. .

Chevy says the square shape improves visibility and comfort. The leather-wrapped caster features contrast stitching, a handful of buttons, a center mark at the top to let you know immediately if your alignment is a little out of whack, and a pair of metal paddles controlling what has already been rumored. be a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

For reference, this is what the old Vette steering wheel looked like. Anecdote: The C4 of the '80s and' 90s was the last and only other Corvette to have a two-spoke steering wheel.

Although the powertrain and pricing details remain to be confirmed, it is believed that the C8 will get a 6.2 liter LT1 V1 reworked and will produce about 500 horsepower initially. Earlier this week, a photo of the naked, unmasked rear of the mid-engined Corvette would also have been leaked.
