CONFIRMED via SPY Shots: The All-new, C8 Chevrolet Corvette Gets A Name And It's NOT What You Think...
As we inch closer to an undetermined reveal date for the all-new, C8 Chevrolet Corvette, more information is being unearthed by the day. That's because there's been a variety of all-new spy shots and exclusive news leaks.

The latest is a Duesy.

Since the mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette appeared as a mule, there's been ongoing speculation that it would be named Zora after Zora Arkus-Duntov — the engineer who is considered the "father of the Corvette" and even dreamed up the idea of a mid-engine Corvette in the 1950s. Turns out that won't be the case, after all.

Carscoops snagged some excellent all-new interior shots and they reveal the C8's name. It turns out the Stingray nameplate will live on.

This is confirmed via the debossed name, which appears on a panel on the rear wall in between the two seats. Check out the photos by clicking the "Read Article" link, below.



...While Zora’s influence is undeniable, so is the fact that the 2020 Corvette will be known as the Stingray. As you can see in our exclusive shots, barring some huge last minute change, buyers can expect to see the familiar Stingray name featured on a column between the front seats...

I'll name it Michigan like a Ferrari California, unlike those ungrateful GM executives

Zora would have been appropriate.

Agreed.

It makes too much sense though so GM certainly couldn't have gone for that!

GM also isn't smart enough to turn Corvette into a brand aimed at Porsche.

Corvette and Aston Martin. Both are making mid engined cars that nobody asked for so they can pretend to be neck and neck with McLaren and Ferrari. To make it more silly Aston is planning on wooing clients with a turbo V6 with hybrid tech.
They could have at least used a V8.

I don't think it says "Stingray". I think it says "Fiero".

Our internet sales of the Corvette have gone up as guys are getting less and less enamored by what looks like an exceedingly generic looking mid-engined thing.

To join in the fun maybe name it after Schwarzenegger and call it the Total Recall.

Is it still called Corvette? Why the fuss then?
