Is A Mid-Engine Corvette On Its Way?

Is A Mid-Engine Corvette On Its Way?

The Long-Awaited And Closely Guarded Project May Soon Be A Reality

Prototypes for a mid-engine Corvette have sprung up periodically since 1964. Now, after 54 years you may be seeing the elusive beast in a dealership near you. Well, maybe.

Much speculation still surrounds this car. Sure, we've got a handful of photos popping up here and there, with the most recent one in Colorado. Still, Chevy is tight-lipped about the project.

There are some scattered reports from trusted sources that have confirmed a few of the rumors, though. Allegedly there will be three engine options, a 6.2 liter V8, a 4.2 liter bi-turbo, and a 5.5 liter V8. They also state that the starting price could be as little as $75,000 or as high as $150,000. 

From the photos that have been taken, it appears to have a traditional design, looking much like the current C7 model. 

With so much still up in the air and Chevy doing ts best to remain secretive about the specifications, only so much can be deduced. Hopefully we may be seeing it unveiled in all its glory as soon as January of next year at the Detroit Auto Show. If this is the case, you may have your opportunity to pick one up as early as 2020.
