We’ve waited 66 years for a mid-engine Corvette.
Now it looks like we’ll be waiting just a little longer on the 2020 Stingray.
That’s according to reports published Monday in the Detroit Free Press.
The newspaper says it has learned from two sources that the ongoing UAW strike will delay production and launch of the new mid-engine Corvette.

With the reveal of the 2020 Corvette Stingray Convertible, Chevrolet has also released several new renderings of the mid-engined sportscar to its media archives. We pulled them together here for you.
Chevrolet previously shared these two C8 Corvette renderings when the Coupe was revealed in July:
For more on the design aspects of the C8 Corvette Coupe, Corvette Exterior Design Manager Kirk Bennion’s portion of this 2020 Corvette Stingray seminar at the NCM 25th Anniversary Celebration offers an insider’s view into the design process.
The one-off Bertone Mantide is a car that can cause mixed feelings. On the one hand, it is extremely cool that the Italian Styling House responsible for some of the most beautiful (Lamborghini Miura), outrageous (Lamborghini Countach and Diablo), and successful (three-time World Rally Championship winning Lancia Stratos) vehicles ever produced would base one of their works on the humble C6 Corvette ZR1.

During the reveal of the 2020 Corvette Stingray Convertible, the Blade Siver Corvette on display was started and the operation of the hardtop convertible was demonstrated, first by raising the top and then lowering it back again.
Chevrolet says the top cycles through its operation in 16 seconds but we timed it several times at right around 13 seconds.
Someone just became the first owner of this 1991 Corvette ZR-1, even though the car was manufactured nearly 30 years ago!
A Chevrolet dealer had maintained the high-horsepower but ultra-low-mileage C4 in his private collection all these years, keeping it under the original MSO.
He finally decided to sell it on eBay recently, offering it at what we consider a very fair price of $40,000 for a virtually new red over black ZR-1 with just 286 miles on the odometer!
