The Corvette C8.R nearly stole the show during the official reveal of the 2020 Corvette Stingray Convertible. If anything, those in attendance will recall just how wickedly loud this new racer is.
A little bit later in the evening, Corvette Racing’s Tommy Milner started up the C8.R and revved its mystery engine.

The 2020 Corvette Stingray Reveal was a pretty cool event as car reveals go. Held on the evening of October 2nd in the Rocket Garden at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor’s Complex, we were reminded that of the Chevrolet commercial that America is still building rockets.
Introduced under the stars and surrounded by the legacy of America’s space program, the 2020 Corvette Stingray Convertible and the Corvette Racing C8.R were introduced to the world.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Open-air driving has always been a part of the Chevrolet Corvette’s heritage. In fact, when the Corvette debuted in 1953, it was available only as a convertible. The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible builds off that heritage as the first hardtop and mid-engine convertible in Corvette history.
Earlier we featured a preview of the Jim Osterman Collection that Barrett-Jackson will be auctioning off live during their Las Vegas sale this Thursday-Saturday in Las Vegas.
If all of the fancy-pants (exquisite) C1s and their C2 friend from the Osterman collection weren’t your style, then worry not, Barrett-Jackson has you covered with a wide variety of Corvettes from each generation!
General Motors posted the 3rd Quarter sales results for 2019 and we see a positive number for Corvette sales as production of the C7 generation is nearly over.
For the months of July, August, and September, Chevrolet sold a total of 4,799 Corvettes. This is a 2.7% increase over the 4,639 Corvettes produced during 3rd quarter 2018.

In our opinion, there’s no better place to “launch” a new Corvette than the Kennedy Space Center on Central Florida’s East Coast.
That’s where we’ll be Wednesday evening as the next-generation 2020 Corvette Stingray Convertible drops its top for the first time in public.
The press event tonight begins at 7:30 pm ET and is expected to run 45 minutes.
The King returned to his hill as a grand finale for the seventh generation Corvette. 2,441 ZR1 coupes and 512 ZR1 convertibles were built during the extended 2019 model year for a grand total of 2,953 retail units of the supercharged swan song of the C7.
The ZR1 is undoubtedly the most capable Corvette of all time but with option ZTK (colloquially known as the big-wing package), buyers had to decide if they wanted to slay road courses with the 950 lbs.

When perusing your favorite vehicle marketplace, do you ever have to stop and skeptically roll your eyes when a seller claims that their car makes 1000 horsepower? Well, leave those doubts behind when you view this Daytona Sunset Orange 2005 Corvette from GR Auto Gallery (GRAG) of Metro Detroit’s massive inventory.
GRAG is claiming four-digit ponies at the wheels and one word in the listing makes that assertion completely credible: Lingenfelter.
