[Blexfraptor]

Las Vegas. The Chevrolet Corvette 2020 is scheduled to reach our market in the second quarter of the year, the initial price is $ 1,999,000 pesos and yet the production destined for our market for this year is already sold out.

Both the exterior and the interior are inspired by combat jets, and although there has been much talk that in certain angles it looks too much like a Ferrari and even in others a Lamborghini, which somehow has some truth, the New Corvette 2020 does have its own personality.

The strokes are very marked and dramatic, the air inlets of both the front and the sides are very large, a necessity, to provide air to the engine and other mechanical components, on the side things become a little cleaner and highlights the absence of a handle to open the door, there is a small button located under the ledge that then becomes the side air intake.
It is wide, very low and in general it looks quite athletic, while in the back we find the classic double skulls, but also with a very dramatic style. They finish the almost square double exhaust outlets that, by the way, emit an addictive note.

The rear wing divided in two has the capacity to generate about 180 kilos of aerodynamic load when the car rolls at a speed of 290 km / h.

An interesting detail is that not only does it have a front trunk sufficient for a carry on and a back pack, but it also has another that allows you to accommodate the awning when you disassemble it, or two bags of golf clubs. Together, both spaces offer a capacity of 357 liters.

This new aluminum chassis has as a backbone the transmission tunnel, which is extremely robust, this allowed to increase the structural rigidity, and at the same time maintain the characteristic removable roof.
Under the engine cover a new 6.2-liter V8 small block called LT2 of natural aspiration that delivers 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque is seen when it comes to the Performance Z51 package that is the version that arrives in Mexico, since the input variants generate 5 hp less, this mechanic was developed to deliver a lot of torque at low speed and maintain response levels throughout the entire speed band.

The transmission is now double clutch and eight speeds, promises changes at lightning speeds, while still delivering the levels of comfort and refinement that every American car must deliver in city driving conditions. Something that at least in our first contact, we could see.

Returning to the versions that arrive in Mexico, the Z51 package, a larger brake system, aerodynamic kit, more capable cooling system, more sporty suspension, as well as limited skid differential. With all these additional components, the Corvette Stingray 2020 is capable of making a 0 - 60 mph (96 km / h) in 2.9 seconds.

For its part, the top of the range is the Z51 Performance Package, which adds a new generation of the adaptive magnetic suspension. This new generation is able to read the road better thanks to new accelerometers mounted on each damper, and its improved electronics allow it to react faster. Continuing with the additional equipment, the ESP system has a Performance mode that allows the driver to play more with the rear axle without losing the safety net, additionally, inside we find carbon fiber inserts, Alcantara-lined steering wheel and competition seats GT2

On the other hand, the suspension can be raised 40 mm when necessary, such as when entering a ramp or passing a stop and the Corvette is able to save through GPS, the location where the driver chose to raise it, so that the next Once you drive around, the vehicle will lift automatically. Even more impressive, it is capable of saving up to 1,000 locations and operating at speeds of up to 38.6 km / h. By the way, this technology comes standard in both versions.

On other issues not less relevant, the Corvette 2020 represents a quantum leap inside, although the C7 was already a very well achieved product in that sense, now, Chevrolet managed to give it a truly exotic car atmosphere.

The cluster is digital 12 ", and next to it has an 8" touch screen compatible with Carplay and Android Auto, there is also head up display, Bose Performance System 14-speaker audio system that promises fidelity and quality of the highest level.

Finally, the Performance Data Recorder also evolves, now it will provide more specific information of the circuits, while telemetry is more complete than before and the recordings are in high definition 1080p.
