Here's how the new Corvette Stingray could morph into a 'fire-breathing monster'
Nathan Bomey, USA TODAYPublished 5:31 a.m. ET July 18, 2019 | Updated 12:08 p.m. ET July 18, 2019The eight-generation Corvette will debut on the evening of July 18.
The Corvette is considered by classic-car insurer Hagerty to be the most collectible car of all-time
Rumors are flying that GM could introduce a 1,000-horsepower edition of the 'Vette.
Nearly seven decades after its debut, the Corvette is getting a dramatic makeover.
The eighth generation of the quintessentially American sports car, referred to by enthusiasts as the C8, will be revealed Thursday night as the 2020 Corvette Stingray.
Featured in hundreds of movies, such as Mark Hamill's "Corvette Summer," and numerous songs, such as Prince's "Little Red Corvette," the General Motors sports car is tightly woven into the fabric of American culture.
And at a starting price of less than $56,000, it's much more accessible than many of its exotic European competitors.
Known for its affordability as well as its lightweight, high-powered, low-slung design, the Vette is ranked as the most collectible car of all time, according to classic-car insurer and valuation firm Hagerty.
"The Corvette has existed in a category all its own as an American car," said Hagerty CEO McKeel Hagerty. "It’s a pretty magical story through and through. It's very evident they're about to do it again."
