There have been plenty of rumors and reports about the C8 Corvette being a mid-engine supercar, but I just don’t believe that General Motors is going to suddenly convert their storied sports car from front engine to mid-engine – but I do believe that the General is cooking up something with a drivetrain that will compete with the new Ford GT supercar.
There have been insider sources, spy shots and event comments from former GM chief Bob Lutz that suggest that there will be a mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette in future. I do believe that General Motors is working on a mid-engine supercar, but I dont think that it will be a replacement for the front engine, rear wheel drive Corvette the world has come to know and love.
