Toivotaan että uusi 8 olisi paremmin onnistunut ulkonäöltä kuin seiska.

Siis onko C8-mallisarja kokonaan keskimoottorilla vai pelkkä ZR1/Z06 erikoismalli?

Huhuja on liikkeellä paljon ja palstalaiset varmaan tietävät niistä enemmänkin, mutta veikataan mm. että kaikki C8:t olisivat keskimoottorilla ja että karvalakkimalli olisi vapaasti hengittävä n. 500 hv 6.2 litran V8, nimeltään ehkä LT2. Uutuus julkistettaisiin 18.7.

Kts. esim. https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-car...e-2018-rumors/

Tää vielä puuttuis:

In a recent interview with Automotive News, iconoclastic auto-industry figure and former General Motors vice chairman Bob Lutz was asked about a number of topics, including Carlos Ghosn, Fiat Chrysler's desire for a merger, and the Trump administration. But the most intriguing tidbit came when Lutz was asked about the mid-engined C8 Corvette and brought up what he would do with the Corvette brand if he still worked at General Motors.

"[If I were still at GM], what I would do is develop a dedicated architecture, super lightweight, super powerful, Porsche Cayenne–like, only much better and a little bigger, medium-volume Corvette SUV. Target worldwide 20,000 to 30,000 units, and price it starting at $100,000. Gorgeous interior. No V-6 powertrain. No low-end version. It has to be the stellar premium sport-utility made in the United States, and the Corvette brand could pull that off."

Now, we don't have any reason to think that a Corvette SUV is something that Chevy is even considering, and neither does Bob Lutz, seemingly. But what he said got us thinking: What if Chevy actually did make a Corvette SUV? It's not such a preposterous idea even if there's no basis for it, and we also think it's a no-brainer for Chevy to expand the Corvette brand beyond just the titular model.

Porsche was a pioneer of the super-sporty SUV with the Cayenne, and since that model's inception, tons of high-end manufacturers have all gotten into the fast-SUV game, tying in the models with their existing sports cars. But Chevy, which has a history of both iconic SUVs and iconic sports cars, has never even shown a concept imagining what a sporty SUV from the bow-tie brand could look like. So we took a shot at imagining it ourselves.

While we do like Lutz's idea of an expensive Corvette SUV with no low-end version, we think it's a bit unrealistic. To better compete with the Cayenne, an entry-level Corvette SUV should have a starting price point of around $70,000 and a twin-turbo V-6. But it would need at least a couple different V-8 engine options, and there would have to be high-performance variants. Chevy could easily position a Corvette SUV as the sportiest and most road-oriented of all the high-end SUVs, which would set it apart from the competition.

It would probably need to ride on its own unique platform, as GM doesn't really have anything that would be a perfect match. The Alpha platform that underpins the Camaro or the Omega platform that underpins the Cadillac CT6 could be possibilities, but neither are really fit for something that would be as sporty and crossover-like as a Corvette SUV would be. Unless Chevy would just say "screw it," not offer all-wheel drive or any semblance of off-road ability, and build the SUV off the current front-engined C7 Corvette's platform.

The styling should be aggressive and tie into the regular Corvette, which would likely mean a coupe-like roofline and a low stance. The interior would need to be luxurious, as buyers in this space expect more from their cars than the middling materials and finishes of the current Corvette. Seating for four adults and at least a modicum of cargo space are a must—Corvette owners need to be able to carry golf clubs around, after all—but it probably wouldn't have a targa top like the regular Corvette.

The only thing left for us to imagine is the name. Would it be Corvette Activ? Corvette Xtreme? Corvette TourX? Corvette Bison? Corvette Trail Boss? Corvette High Country? Corvette Z71? Corvette Trans Sport? GM has so many good off-road-y names to choose from.

And hey, there's precedent for us thinking this is a good idea. In 1976, we drove a C3 Corvette to Alaska, and then we re-created the journey in 2007 with a C6. Just imagine how much easier that would be with a Corvette SUV!

C8 julkistustilaisuuden live stream huomenna 18.7 alkaen klo 19:30 PDT (Suomen aikaa 19.7 alkaen klo 05:30).

Edit 18.7: Nyt tarkentavat että live coverage alkaa klo 19:50 PDT (Suomen aikaa 05:50). Katsotaan silloin mitä sieltä tulee...
