2019 has been a big year for the Chevrolet Corvette. Now revealed in its latest form factor, a mid-engine coupe, enthusiasts have been going bananas.
It helps when there's a slew of power and the price is a relative bargain.
One thing that was caught during the C8 Stingray's launch was a teaser image of a design mule. But, it wasn't just any all-new Corvette. It was the convertible variant.
Looking more like an exotic from Ferrari or McLaren, the all-new C8 Corvette Convertible will feature what is thought to be a power folding retractable hard top with integrated, flying buttresses that descend into the rear decklid.
Until now, it's been a bit of a head scratcher as to when the next-gen Corvette Convertible would debut. Well, ponder no more, Spies. The Corvette Assembly Plant Manager, Kai Spande, recently was giving a talk and he noted that the convertible will be revealed "...in the October timeframe."
He makes note of it in the clip below, starting around the 58:20 mark.
