Could be a legit leak of the C8 rear end.

Yes, that is apparently a spy shot of the C8 rear. On top of this, it has been noted by GM sources that the entry level C8 will receive a slightly tweaked version of the LT1 6.2L, they have named the LT2. It will apparently be packing ~500hp.

I am very excited for the unveil!

Looks like someone had a cell phone in the plant

And I hope they consider the LT2 for Camaro. The SS @500 HP you'd think would help drive sales.

Not bad, but IMO the tailights make it look too much like a 6gen Camaro. I think a single light like on the C7 would have been better. Also the exhaust ports way look too narrow.

If so, that's the worst cell phone camera ever. Good lord. I don't understand how we can still have potato quality pictures like this in 2019.

Mid-Engine Chevrolet Corvette Reveal to be Livestreamed Globally
Following the reveal, the Next Generation Chevrolet Corvette will embark on two nationwide dealership tours
General Motors

July 8, 2019

DETROIT — The late Zora Arkus-Duntov, the father of the Chevrolet Corvette, had a vision for a mid-engine Corvette. That vision will come to life the evening of July 18, 2019, in Orange County, California, and the world can watch the reveal via livestream from the comfort of their own homes.

The livestream opens at 7:30 p.m. PDT/10:30 p.m. EDT on July 18 and can be accessed through media.chevrolet.com/nextgenCorvette, which also will be sent out on Chevrolet’s social media channels. The stream will include Corvette video footage, a hosted preshow and the reveal presentation. It will be available for viewing across the globe, in all seven continents.

“There is a large contingent of Corvette fans across the world waiting for the reveal of the Next Generation. We’re happy to give these fans, and all sports car enthusiasts, a way to see and learn about the vehicle at the same time as those participating live in California,” said Barry Engle, executive vice president and president, the Americas, GM. “Viewers will hear directly from Chevrolet leadership, engineering and some special guests about the highlights and background of this first mid-engine Corvette.”

Following the reveal, the Next Generation Corvette will hit the road for two national dealership tours that will include vehicle specialists and numerous interactive displays. At these events, Chevy dealers will host customers to showcase the new mid-engine supercar, display customizable parts (seats, wheels, accessories, etc.) and teach people how they can personalize their own Corvette.

“With all the excitement around this vehicle, we don’t want people to have to wait to experience it in person,” said Engle. “Our national tours will bring the Next Generation car right to our customers’ local Chevrolet dealership, where they can start imagining themselves in their very own personalized mid-engine Corvette.”

The tours will begin on the East and West Coasts and stop at more than 125 select dealerships across the U.S. starting after the reveal and extending through early 2020. Tour dates and cities will be available starting on July 19.

The mid engine corvette will look exactly as we all expect it to. What will be a surprise is transmission,overall performance and interior design.
