REVIEW:

Today we had to do a paint correction on this CORVETTE EDITION C8-R (2024); We have to highlight the combination of expression lines on the body that give it a different nuance once the paint has been corrected for complete ceramic protection. For us it is important to remind customers of the importance of performing ceramic oriteccian on their new cars of the year, taking into account that it is a certified high-quality ceramic such as GYEON Quartz; because it adds value, shine and protection from contaminants for 4 to 5 years.

Work time: 2 days.

CORVETTE EDITION C8-R OVERVIEW:

There’s only one place to start when discussing the C8 Corvette: the engine. After 67 years of commitment to a front-engine configuration, Chevy decided to kick off the new decade by repositioning the car’s 6.2-liter LT2 V-8 behind the driver.

The Stingray’s mill isn’t all that different from the LT1 found under the hood of the C7, but it is more powerful, bringing a solid 490 hp of grunt and 465 ft lbs of torque (compared to 455 hp and 460 ft lbs of torque last generation). The new powertrain enables the car to shoot from zero to 60 mph in less than three seconds. The C8 can also complete the quarter-mile in just over 11 seconds and reach a top speed of 184 mph. And if that’s not enough for you, the Z51 performance package, which includes a dual-mode performance exhaust, boosts the horsepower and torque figures to 495 hp and 470 ft lbs, respectively, giving all other performance numbers a lift as well. One thing to note: There is only one transmission option, a Tremec 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, something that has caused consternation among the faithful.

It’s not just the exterior that’s received a major makeover. Open up the C8 Corvette’s doors and you’ll find a cabin that actually looks like the cockpit of a futuristic fighter jet. Sit down in the low-slung driver seat and you’re met with a squared-off steering wheel, which includes two large paddle shifters. Behind that is a 12-inch digital instrument cluster, which includes a new tachometer, to help keep track of your ‘Vette and its performance as you drive.
