Following the official reveal of the 2020 Corvette Stingray Convertible on Wednesday evening, the stage was reset for Thursday’s public reveals to those visiting the Kennedy Space Center’s Visitor’s Complex.
Led again by Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter, the Corvette Team pulled the covers and allowed the gathered enthusiasts some great views of the new Corvette Stingray convertibles that were shining brightly under the Florida sun.
Chevrolet shocked everyone at the C8 Convertible reveal Wednesday night by bringing out the all-new C8.R for a surprise sneak peek.
No details were given but several neat features were out in plain sight. We are hoping to see some of these upgrades trickle down from the racing version to future road-legal models.

Sinkhole the Sequel?
That might be a good name for this video from CapeCod.com that shows how a black C5 Corvette convertible nearly repeated history this week in Harwich, Massachusetts.
The entire world, of course, remembers how a massive sinkhole in the National Corvette Museum swallowed up eight classic Corvettes back in 2014.

With the reveal of the Corvette C8.R, Chevrolet shared a video showing the evolution from a prototype racer in camo to the Silver/Yellow livery of the No. 4 C8.R that was unveiled Wednesday.
In that new video was a slider featuring an updated design of the Jake mascot.
The Jake logo first made its appearance on a Corvette race car by appearing on the b-pillars of the C6.R at the 2005 24 Hours of Le Mans.

A little bit later in the evening, Corvette Racing’s Tommy Milner started up the C8.R and revved its mystery engine.
