雪佛兰中置引擎考维特将作为2020款车型于明年上市，届时该车将替代现行版C7考维特。就像福特GT一样，该车在通用家族中将成为新的标志性车型。最近谍照记者近距离拍到了这辆车，该车据说将提供三种引擎，可能性最大的是4.2升V8双涡轮引擎，在凯迪拉克CT6V-Sport版本上，功率550马力。而在考维特上，功率将提升至650马力。另外还有一台5.5升双涡轮引擎，功率850马力。此外，第三台引擎是6.2升LT1。无论选择何种引擎，都将搭配双离合器变速器，这也是该车唯一的变速器。虽然这次近距离拍到该车，但由于车身进行了大量伪装，因此无法看清细节。从照片看，它采用了简短、宽阔而向下倾斜的车鼻，高而宽阔的尾部，底部采用四排气尾管。不过，该车硕大的轮圈无法遮掩，前轮为245/35 ZR19，后轮为305/30 ZR20。

 

2020 Mid-Engined Chevy Corvette Spied Up Close

We’re slowly getting closer to the day there’s a mid-engined Chevy Corvette for sale. Numerous spy photos and videos have caught the elusive – and poorly hidden – project testing on public roads. It’s hard to hide such a fundamental change to Corvette brand under some gaudy camouflage. When the mid-engined Corvette hits the market – likely sometime in 2019 as a 2020 model – it won’t replace the current C7 Corvette. Instead, the mid-engined Corvette will serve as a halo car for the brand much like the Ford GT does for GM’s crosstown rival.

 

All eyes will be on the mid-engined Corvette as we get closer to its launch. Speculation is already running wild with enthralled enthusiasts making predictions on powertrains and performance. There are three different engines the Corvette could receive. The most likely engine is a biturbocharged 4.2-liter V8 that’s different from the 550-horsepower engine planned for the Cadillac CT6 V-Sport. In the Corvette, the 4.2-liter mill should produce 650 hp. Rumors also hinted at a biturbo 5.5-liter with a maximum horsepower of 850 hp. Now, we also hear the car could borrow the 6.2-liter LT1 engine. Whatever engine GM picks, it will likely pair with a dual-clutch transmission – which could be the only gearbox available.

 

The newest batch of photos gives the clearest and closest look at the new Corvette yet. Sadly, there’s still plenty of heavy camo hiding specific details. There’s the short, wide, and sloping nose, tall, wide rear, end, and quad exhaust. One part not hidden by camo was the staggered wheels that measure 245/35 ZR19 on the front and 305/30 ZR20 at the back.
