Las Vegas Dealer's Conference: C8 Announcement, it is coming!
 
I just left the General Session presentation by GM/Chevy at the "Find New Roads" Dealer's Conference at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas. We got a glimpse of the C8 Corvette. It is coming. GM called it a super car. The 2 pictures we saw showed very little, but I'm thrilled to share I caught a glimpse of the production car. It definitely looked mid-engined. The front hood reminded me of a lotus. Front bumper cover reminded me of the 2019 ZR1. Time to go party at the reception. If I bump into Brian Sweeny, US VP of Chevy, or other GM Execs, I will ask some questions and report back!

100% Corvette and not Cadillac.

Thank you Nate. Time to put an end to the Cadillac rumors that just keep coming up.

Seeing that Bowling Green Assembly tours are shut down until June 2019, I think it's safe to say that the C8 is entering production at that time and the car will be revealed at the NAIAS.

Hey Nate, any chance that a new Camaro was shown off at the conference?
Asking for a friend ;)

If it looks anything like a lotus, I will be pleased!

You didn't take a photo with your phone!?! I would definitely have snuck a pic :D Really appreciate the update!

keagan 04-04-2018 09:34 AM

Nate, anything you can share on power plant, trans?

elegant 04-04-2018 10:25 AM

Thank you very much Nate for sharing that, and amen, that the Cadillac ME rumors at put to sleep for 2020!

FrankLP 04-04-2018 10:33 AM

AWESOME News Nate!! Thanks for making my day!!

Did they happen to mention anything (or can you find out) about any upcoming marketing campaign elements (video teasers, track/test dates, release date, etc)?

Thanks again!! What an exciting time for Corvette!!!

I'm glad the next generation Corvette is not going to be a Cadillac! :thumbs: So you're confirming 100% that GM said that the next Generation Corvette is a mid engine platform and that the mid engine car is the next Corvette?

elegant 04-04-2018 10:58 AM

YES! If only our Moderators had the ability to exorcise every post in this C8 section that uses ME Cadillac — for at least one more year.

Kind of like a master “ignore” button.

f-16pilotTX 04-04-2018 11:10 AM

Awesome sir! Thank you! I wonder if the two photos you saw were the same two photos C7Pimp saw? Hmmm
