The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 made its debut to the world July 18, 2019. It's the first mid-engined Corvette in history, which means it's a big deal for a variety of reasons.

Are all new corvettes mid-engine?

All models are powered by a mid-mounted 6.2-liter V8 engine with 490 horsepower, 465 pound-feet of torque, which sends power to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Perhaps as striking as the exterior design, the Corvette's interior is certainly eye-catching.

What year did Corvette put the engine in the rear?

1964 Corvette XP-819 Rear Engine.
