"How significant is it that the latest in the hallowed Corvette legacy is a mid-engine? Well it’s a fulfilment of a dream that’s been around since the 1960’s, but more so, it’s a huge evolution for one of the greatest American sports cars. Mid-engine means less wheel spin, more control on curves, and more speed. It’s just science, and that science means this Corvette goes from 0-60 a full second faster than its predecessor, the C7. The Z51 performance package is available in-game, which means an upgrade in performance with spoiler and bumper mods. The C8 was a gamechanger when it released IRL, and now it’s literally changing the game in Forza Horizon 4."—Official description[1]
The 2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray - abbreviated as "Corvette C8 '20" and formerly known as "Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe"[2] - is a rear-wheel drive sports car by Chevrolet.
It appears in Forza Horizon 4 as part of Update 31 and all subsequent main series titles.
Synopsis[]
The 2020 Corvette Stingray Coupe marks the debut of the eighth-generation Chevrolet Corvette codenamed C8, replacing the seventh-generation Corvette codenamed C7. Unlike every previous model generation, the C8 Corvette is based on a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive platform, ditching the front-engine layout of its predecessors.
The Corvette Stingray is the base trim level for the coupé and convertible models. It is equipped in Forza with the Z51 performance package.
Engine and drivetrain[]
The C8 Corvette retains a naturally-aspirated pushrod V8 engine design, although it features the second-generation "LT2" engine that debuted with this model. It has dry-sump lubrication that improves cooling and allows the engine to sit lower in the chassis, resulting in a lower center of gravity of the car. Equipped with the Z51 package, which adds a performance exhaust, it produces 495 hp (369 kW) at 6450 rpm and 470 ft·lb (637 N·m) of torque at 5150 rpm.
The C8 Corvette switches from a seven-speed to an eight-speed transmission. The "Tremec TR-9080" is a dual-clutch automatic transmission with an integrated limited-slip differential.[3]
Platform[]
With the engine positioned behind the driver, the C8 Corvette has a more rear-biased weight distribution than older Corvette models, yielding a 40/60 weight distribution. A notable style change of the exterior are large air scoops on the rear fenders.
The Z51 package adds a rear spoiler, larger Brembo brakes and a more firm suspension.[4]
