A prototype of the upcoming 2020 Chevrolet Corvette
Stingray Convertible has been spied testing with very minimal camouflage
painted in what appears to be either Sebring Orange or Torch Red. Following the launch of the new
Corvette roughly three weeks ago, Chevrolet has stripped away the camouflage
from most of its prototypes with the exception of some Convertible testers
doing the rounds. Most of this car’s exterior is free from camouflage except
for the rear decklid, engine cover, and roof.
A teaser video previously released by Chevrolet for
the new Corvette Stingray Convertible has already revealed that the car will
receive a pair of buttresses directly behind the passenger cell. The design
looks very promising. This particular spy video of the car also takes a look at the
high-end leather interior of the car clad almost entirely in red. Behind the
wheel of the prototype appears to be Corvette and Camaro product marketing
manager Harlan Charles.
We know that the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
Convertible will premiere this fall alongside the C8.R race car. With the
release of these models, the C8 Corvette family will grow to three and in the
coming years, the range will inevitably expand further.
In all likelihood, the Corvette droptop will feature
the same 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engine as the coupe, pumping out an
identical 490 hp or 495 hp with the optional sports exhaust available alongside
the Z51 Performance Package. Power will be sent exclusively through the rear
wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission providing lightning-fast
gear changes.
