Something like this -

Corvette Stingray = C8 as we know it
Corvette Mako = RWD, front engine, 2-door, 2+2
Corvette Z06 = TT V8 wide body C8
Corvette Zora = king of the hill performance hybrid TT V8 1000+ total system HP
That's what I was thinking, and IMO the marketing is far better for a new Corvette front-engine GT car just like the Camaro but with better visibility, practicality and new styling. A car that most BMW M-car or AMG drivers would actually consider, just like a ton of new people that would not consider a Vette are now considering the C8 Vette...
