The leak of the Midengine C8 Chevy Corvette seems to show the rear bumper in its entirety

the Eighth-generation Chevrolet CorvetteKnown as the medium-powered Corvette, this is one of the biggest debuts in the automotive industry in recent years. As could be expected, the builder kept the wire of information tight and, surprisingly, few leaks occurred while his debut took place in less than two weeks. Although Chevy's luck seems to be exhausted.

On Monday, an Instagram article surfaced that seems to show the back of the C8 Corvette. In keeping with the usual mid-height engine style, the rear is almost as high as the roof of the car, with pronounced taillights that combine the current style of the Corvette and the Camaro. There is a large old carving for the license place, two large air vents just below the taillights and four square exhaust outlets at the bottom.

Chevrolet has refused to engage in "speculation", but it is unlikely that the automaker will admit anything so close to its beginnings. The builders systematically refuse to talk about vehicles that have not made their official debut, and whenever it is necessary to break with this tradition, it is probably not one of them, especially since nine days later.

What we know about the Corvette C8 at this point is limited to a few teasers released by Chevrolet in April, showing an entirely camouflaged model rolling in the streets of New York. We heard the same car take a tour of the alley at the National Corvette Museum, leading us to believe that at least one trim level will pack a good V8 in the throat. In all likelihood, several versions will be proposed, but we will probably see only one variant in its infancy.

Fortunately, the hoi polloi can look at the same first livestream as we in the fourth domain. The livestream will start on a special GM website on July 18th at 7:30 pm. PT. The car will tour Chevrolet dealerships in the United States after its unveiling. So, many people will not have to wait for a car show to see what makes this new Corvette so special.
