Here’s a first look at the upcoming Corvette C8 plugin hybrid.

The vehicle contains an orange charging harness protruding from beneath the front cargo cover. Other than those cables, the exterior does not seem to contain any other visible differences from the Corvette C8 with the Z51 package.

The C8 PHEV is expected to be analogous to the current Stingray model, but with hybridized power. It’s currently unclear what the powertrain (it sounded like a V6) will look like, though the electrified hardware is expected to aid in performance, rather than fuel economy. It will launch either in late 2020 or the 2021 calendar year.

What happened do the DOHC the C8 was rumored to have? Are like Harley, pretty much skipping the DOHC and going straight to the ExtraVegan model?

Already doing gt500 and new C8 chsllenges. GT 500 win the first contest. We all.Know the no differences but for a muscle car to dance on a road course is nice to hear. I am sure anything above the base C8 will overcome the GT. Fun days ahead for guys with Treynor cash!
