Following the reveal, the Next Generation Chevrolet Corvette will embark on two nationwide dealership tours
DETROIT — The late Zora Arkus-Duntov, the father of the Chevrolet Corvette, had a vision for a mid-engine Corvette. That vision will come to life the evening of July 18, 2019, in Orange County, California, and the world can watch the reveal via livestream from the comfort of their own homes.
The livestream opens at 7:30 p.m. PDT/10:30 p.m. EDT on July 18 and can be accessed through media.chevrolet.com/nextgenCorvette, which also will be sent out on Chevrolet’s social media channels. The stream will include Corvette video footage, a hosted preshow and the reveal presentation. It will be available for viewing across the globe, in all seven continents.
“There is a large contingent of Corvette fans across the world waiting for the reveal of the Next Generation. We’re happy to give these fans, and all sports car enthusiasts, a way to see and learn about the vehicle at the same time as those participating live in California,” said Barry Engle, executive vice president and president, the Americas, GM. “Viewers will hear directly from Chevrolet leadership, engineering and some special guests about the highlights and background of this first mid-engine Corvette.”
Following the reveal, the Next Generation Corvette will hit the road for two national dealership tours that will include vehicle specialists and numerous interactive displays. At these events, Chevy dealers will host customers to showcase the new mid-engine supercar, display customizable parts (seats, wheels, accessories, etc.) and teach people how they can personalize their own Corvette.
“With all the excitement around this vehicle, we don’t want people to have to wait to experience it in person,” said Engle. “Our national tours will bring the Next Generation car right to our customers’ local Chevrolet dealership, where they can start imagining themselves in their very own personalized mid-engine Corvette.”
The tours will begin on the East and West Coasts and stop at more than 125 select dealerships across the U.S. starting after the reveal and extending through early 2020. Tour dates and cities will be available starting on July 19.
Nope, rumours about the C8 were all over the map. Remember the "starting at 150K" rumour? GM seems to have successfully kept a lid on this. All we do know for sure is they have hired quite a few people for the BG plant. Even the rumour the base engine being a LT2 could be wrong. 7/18/19 is the date we will know facts for sure.Is anyone else surprised and maybe a little concerned that only recently there were stories about the C8 being too powerful and twisting its frame, and now just a short time later the car is apparently ready to launch?
Think of it as a memorial... at least for the Holden Commodore ute and the C7 (the last real Corvette)Also, after this I think its time for a new site logo. Everything is out of production.
GM trying to say Corvette or Cadillac are global ain't even funny anymore. It's just miserable.Are they trying to say the Corvette will be a global car?
Get outta here with your 8 days and counting!! It’s about 7 days 2 hours and 24 minutes!! Damn your right lol. 8 days 2 hours. I was thinking when the embargo would lift at 9:00-9:30 pst next Wednesday. :hyper::hyper:T minus 8 days and counting.
Some are comparing this to the Apollo missions. I put Apollo just a tad higher.
From the other site:Steering wheel:

Wonder what that large silver button does? Is that a "Z" on it?
Or perhaps it is the final version, and the designers had a change of heart decided that the metallic-looking scrollers was just a little too much bling. I think it is unlikely that Chevrolet would issue of a picture of the steering wheel that isn't 100% production accurate."Finally, we should note that the steering wheel seen here seems to be missing the metallic-looking scrollers present in the spy shots. We image that this is because this is a photo of a pre-production wheel that Chevrolet released, rather than the very final version".
Would you really know if they have trickled this much before? Depends.:001_unsure:The C8 hype machine is in overdrive. I've never seen GM intentionally trickle out this much info.
No you're not.I'm an a-hole. If there are going to be metallic "looking" scroll wheels in a high end Corvette, I want them to be metal, not plastic with a coat of Dupli-Color on them.
I saw a different photo with a couple of semi's at the door of the hanger. That thing is friggin huge. The semi's look like little toys. Reminds me of when I was sailing once with some friends and we passed a aircraft carrier in San Diego that was docked. The top of the mast was like a toothpick against that carrier.I think the venue for the reveal is large enough:
