Top of the line C8 - Speculations
 

This thread is dedicated to the range topping C8. Let's speculate the specifications, performance, price and etc.. :smash:

My sources - $200K

That about sums it up.

I guess that would be considered a bargain for a hypercar. Would 220 mph and 10 flats qualify? Pretty close I'm thinking.

I'm just curious as to how everyone imagines this "E-Ray" car to actually work out. Where will the battery reside? In the front crash box area where the frunk resides? That's a great way to self immolate in a crash. The "tunnel" in the center of the passenger cell? It could possibly work, depends on just how much room is in there...and what is in there in the non "E-Ray" models. I'm guessing the ideal motor package would be hub mounted motors, independent from one another for true thrust vectoring. The weight of the "E-Ray" will be considerably more than a non-electrified C8. For $200k GM would need to go full carbon fiber passenger cell, and body panels to justify the cost. Alfa Romeo made a CF chassis, mid engine car that started at $60k so it is not out of the realm of reason to expect it on a $200k car, even with fancy electric motors and a couple turbos slapped onto a V8.

Honestly, I really think that the top of the line C8 should be similar to the outgoing Dodge Viper ACR. Go full track superstar, have adjustable suspension, option deletes, semi-slick track tires, fully adjustable aero, and take it a step further and introduce an actual "Challenge" cup similar to what Ferrari and Lamborghini do, and offer actual spec racecars.

So close this entire section until we have a real car to discuss.

Yes, I have often thought that myself on many occasions

Besides, we all know the price is $169,0000 ..
