It seems that Chevrolet has finally coped with all the difficulties that accompanied the engineers in the development of a new generation of the Corvette sports car. The company has published a promotional video and the date of the presentation of the new car.
The video is accompanied by footage depicting Zora Arkus-Duntov, a man who had the nickname "Father of the Corvette". He was not the inventor of this model, but he worked on this machine for many years and presented it at various events. Arkus-Duntov also had victories on the racing tracks, and he won the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice, although not driving a Corvette. In the 50s, he served as director of the Chevrolet sports division, and the development of the Corvette project until the mid-70s took place under his leadership.
The new Corvette C8, as you know, will have a mid-engine layout, and the engine compartment of the sports car will largely repeat the Porsche 918. It is expected that the power plant of the new car will have a torque of about 1000 Nm, and in order to cope with such traction, the Americans are going to install a new robotic the ZF 8DT gearbox, which in a front-engine configuration can be found under the hood of the Porsche Panamera and Bentley Continental GT.
