Maisto Diecast Model : 2020 Mid Engine Corvette C8 1:18 Scale.....
Auto Extras & MemorabiliaAccessories for your Corvette that aren’t budget-busters. Plus, Corvette memorabilia and die cast models (1:24 and 1:18 scale).
Maisto has always provided a good value model in the past, no reason to believe they won't continue in the future. I look forward to seeing what they come out with.
Just some I Phone pictures in the garage, best I can do right now.
Quality is about what you would expect from Maisto lately.
Not a lot of detail on the underside and in the engine bay.
Design looks a little rushed.
Biggest complaints are a small crack in the die cast metal around the front headlight, and a series of scratches on the inside of the windshield.
All in all I'm happy for $40, but keeping an eye out for another manufacturer to do better.
Not too bad for a $40.oo toy. I agree one with more detail will be very nice. I wish someone would come out with 1/8 scale plastic kit like other Corvettes, the 1965, 1978, 1982 and 1985. A C-8 would be nice.

My Sam’s Club had them also, so I bought two ... the red one and the yellow w/black stripes. Also bought a light blue Maisto 2019 Ford GT 1/18 model. All-in-all, pretty happy with the models for the $45 spent.
Went to Costco in Vancouver, Washington this evening and their Christmas toys are in. Looks like I wasn’t the first to hit the stack of Maisto 1/18 diecast but there were still too many to pick through easily. All I saw for Corvettes were a metallic red 2014 C7 coupe and 2 2020 C8 coupes, dark gray metallic and orange. Didn’t see any other Corvettes. I was only able to dig through about 30% of the pile so maybe some others colors/models were buried underneath?
I got the orange because I thought it showed the lines of the car better than the gray.
Hit up Cosco last weekend as well and bought both C8 units. Gray with stripes and Orange with stripes... Maybe they will do a car without the stripes next year??
Does anyone know IF or when the 2020 will be in a plastic kit form ? I guess it might be AMT REVELL, REVELL - GERMANY, or maybe someone else. Thank you, the Die cast looks very good.

I bought the same orange w/ black racing strips at Costco. I completely disassembled it and made it match my 2021 order. It is now a close rendition to a non Z51 Red Mist Metallic with Natural Napa interior (Except for the front splitter that I plan to after market).
