Default Mid engine C8 will have a Wankel motor

gm Is retooling the corvette plant for a wankel motor in the mid engine corvette. It will have one huge rotor mounted sideways for improved handling in the mid engine design. It will be mounted to a one speed cvt transmission. Tail lights will be shaped like spinning wankel rotors.

I saw one at Walmart yesterday. I asked the guy what motor did it have? All he told me was, "Wankel Wankel"

We can file this as one of the things we know the C8 won't have. Ha ha!
