GM got you all and just made the next gen V8 and called it LT2.
GM blueprints leaked last week that showed a detailed CAD drawing of a Twin Turbo V8 named LT7. Something very big is coming to Corvette.

Looks awesome and still very much recognizable as a Corvette. Also interesting they noted it's utility in that you can still fit two sets of golf clubs. I need to make more money and this car needs to be offered with a manual. Can't wait to see one in person.

Fantastic. If it drives as good as it looks, they hit this out of the park. It still drips of Corvette DNA, despite the mid engine configuration. Now what will this thing do to C7 pricing.....

C7 vettes value took a dump last night. There's going to be a ton of them for sale early next year.

No its just that you haven't been paying attention. The LT2 name has been tossed around for a long time now. The higher numbered LTx was being talked about as a turbo or even electric assist engine for months.

LT2 is exactly what I expected.

My initial reaction- Holy hell they hit this one out of the park. The front end is amazing, the side profile is amazing. The rear end is from the pictures ok. I think I would need to see it in person to make a final judgment. The interior looks pretty good too, but it might be a bit to driver focused IMO. the way all the controls and even the infotainment screen are angled at the driver and that huge row of buttons, doesn't look like a passenger would have an easy time reaching over and changing the radio.

Oh and the price of under 60k bravo GM bravo. That is simply unbelievable. I want to know where all the Corvette is going upmarket going to be a six figure car people are lol

Sounds like they eliminated the possibility of a manual when they reinforced the central spine of the car (the cause and effect is probably the other way around: ditching the manual allowed for a stiffer chassis). And it doesn't even have a typical PRNDL shifter (all buttons now), so where would they physically put the stick anyway?

I mean there's more than likely going to be a Z06 on the way and with the last two generations a ZR1. So...


I don't think anyone was expecting the LT5 or LT7 or whatever to be the base engine.

I was trying to find a place to put the stick too, lol. I think the MT is done. Oh well.

Noticed something else with this.


That's an interesting vent behind the front wheel...

Vent for brake cooling?

I'd guess so, but...





It's not on the base car.


Active aerodynamics, and a brake cooling vent in the lower fender...


Kinda reminds me of a feature on the C7, albeit in the opposite place now that the engine is also in the opposite place.

Base model. Camo is already off the pre-production cars.
