2020 Corvette Part Two
The New Performance Standard
Apparently a necessity for some Corvette owners, the 2020 C8 will accommodate two golf bags.
Targa roof storage is more vertical on the C8, compared to the horizontal storage on previous Corvettes.

If it looks good, then show it off! Continuing the fine tradition of the C6 ZR1, the 2020 C8 Corvette engine is visible for all to admire.
Wheel size:
Front: 19-inch x 8.5-inch (w/5 x 120mm bolt pattern)
Rear: 20-inch x 11-inch (w/5 x 120mm bolt pattern)
A convertible has been a part of the Corvette story since the first generation; you'll recall that the C1 Corvettes were all convertibles. That noble tradition continues with the C8.
Like the radical changes seen throughout the C8, the convertible was revolutionary and for the first time it is not a ragtop design. In many ways it is close to the Targa roof on the coupe with the distinct difference that the Targa roof removal is a manual operation.
The convertible C8 Corvette is a $7,300 premium. There is also ~80 lbs. weight gain, mostly due to the six electric motors required to perform the complex top opening and closing functions.
Easter Egg Anyone?
You'll need to look carefully, but etched into the headlights is a C8 Corvette logo. It isn't obvious, but it is tiny. Happy searching!
