q2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray revealed
The eighth-generation Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is the first mid-engine version in the model’s history, and promises supercar performance at a price for a basement less than $ 60,000.
The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray returns to her second home in Indiana.
The Kentucky-built car will serve as the Easter car for the Indy 500 on August 23rd.
It will mark the 17th time that a Corvette has been used in the roll since 1978. Chevrolet is one of two engine suppliers for the IndyCar series, along with Honda.

The red mid-engine coupe is equipped with the track-oriented Z51 package, which comes with a 495 hp 6.2-liter V8, extra drive and brake cooling, downforce-generating spoiler, tires for summer performance and other go-fast parts.
The Stingray’s top speed is reported at 184 mph with the Z51 package, but it will only have to reach 130 mph before it pulls off the track when the green flag flies.

Chevy built four identical cars with the Indy 500 logo on them. Two will serve as pace cars, with GM president Mark Reuss taking the wheel at the start of the race, one going to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway museum and the fourth house with the winner of the race.
Unfortunately, the last time Reuss drove a Corvette Easter car at an IndyCar race, things did not go so well because he lost control and put it in the wall at Detroit’s Belle Isle streetcar.
No one was injured, but here’s hoping things go smoothly for him and everyone in Indy, where the race is being held without fans present due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
