The wide-awake additive of Caffeine, louder-than-life Amplify Orange, and the barrier-busting Hypersonic Gray are all on deck for imaginative and fun ways to dip the world's most amazing supercar. Power will continue to be derived from a 490-horsepower 6.2-liter V8, and Chevy has officially confirmed that the order process will begin in just one month. 2022 Corvette models will feature standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and new display options for the digital gauge cluster, with the ultra-furious Track mode including a newly-designed tachometer. 2022 buyers can also add the magnetorheological dampers as a special standalone option, without opting for the full-fledged distance of the Z51 Performance Package.
The C8 can make the sprint to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds, and complete the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at an astonishing 122 mph. This well-performing and enormous engine is also now equipped with a new fuel pump, as well as fuel injectors that allow for running higher fuel pressures. The greatly improved fuel management system allows the cylinder deactivation to fully engage at lower speeds, also providing a boost to fuel economy. You can also opt for the IMSA GTLM Championship Edition package which is limited to 1000 cars and will be available on 3LT models equipped with the Z51 Performance Package.
If your 2022 C8 is not equipped with the Z51 package, you can still order a brand-new low rear spoiler and a Z51 front splitter. The E-Ray model is still expected to be a plug-in hybrid model with All-wheel-drive, and the Z06 will still be powered by a naturally-aspirated 5.5-liter V8 DOHC engine with a wider body, flat-plane crank, and more high-performance suspension. When we excitedly take a hard look at what the future has in store for the Corvette, the current eighth-generation Corvette will remain in production for at least up until the 2026 model year.
After being asked about the fiercest competition, we rounded up a list of what we deemed the models to watch out for, but we can guarantee that each of these costs much more than the 'Vette. The Porsche 911, Audi R8, BMW M4, and Mercedes AMG GT are sworn rivals that have been consistently spotted sizing up the 'Vette's new mid-engine stance and swagger! Expert car reviewers nationwide have claimed that the build is so driver-focused that as soon as you climb inside every instrument is in the optimal position to produce the quickest and corner-hungry drive one can imagine!
