I think it was Dave Hill I was talking to, and he implied, at that time, the desire was for Corvette to become a mini-Ferrari, with front engine, mid-engine, sports and touring cars, all with the Corvette name. We shall see...

While there’s no fresh intel regarding launch timing, the fact that experimental hardware has left the laboratory suggests that the C8 Zora sports car is on schedule to roll into showrooms in about 20 months as a 2017 model, at which point it will be sold alongside the front-engined Corvette. Place your orders now or find yourself stuck at the back of a long delivery line.
