The C8 Chevy Corvette has shown it can take on some of the best sports cars. Even four and a half years since the Stingray was launched, Chevy keeps improving the Corvette lineup with more powerful models.
Corvette Stingray: The Starting Point
If you want to buy a new C8 Corvette Stingray, be ready to pay at least $68,300, not including extra fees or dealer markups. It comes with a 6.2-liter V8 engine that makes up to 495 horsepower. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and has a top speed of 194 mph.
Corvette E-Ray: Electric and Fast
Next in line is the first hybrid Corvette with all-wheel drive. The E-Ray has a total of 655 horsepower and starts at $106,900. It is 0.4 seconds faster than the Stingray from 0 to 60 mph.
Corvette Z06: More Track Power
Then comes the Z06, starting at $112,100. It has a 5.5-liter V8 engine with a flat-plane crank that gives 670 horsepower. Although it is more track-ready than the E-Ray, it is a little slower, taking 2.6 seconds to hit 60 mph (compared to 2.5 seconds in the E-Ray).
Corvette ZR1: A Hidden Hypercar
The newest model is the 2025 Corvette ZR1. It looks like a regular sports car but performs like a hypercar. It uses the same engine as the Z06 but with twin turbos. This gives it a huge 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque. All that power goes to the rear wheels.
Coming soon is the Corvette Zora, which will mix parts from the E-Ray and the ZR1 for an even more exciting performance.
The Widebody C8 Corvette: Modified for a Bold Look
Now, let's talk about the C8 Corvette in the picture. It's easy to tell this one has been customized. It has wide fender flares with visible bolts for a meaner, more aggressive stance. There are also extra body parts on the sides, front, and back.
Wheels and Color: A Unique Design
The Anrky Wheels give this Corvette a special look. The bronze rims have visible rivets and wide lips against the car's satin red paint. Some parts are painted or wrapped in black, adding a sleek contrast. You can still see the original bolts holding the body kit in place.
Would You Widebody Your Corvette?
Not everyone loves the widebody Corvette look. It's bold and different. But if you like custom cars, it's easy to admire builds like this one. We probably wouldn't do this to our Corvette, but we still appreciate the creativity.
What about you? Would you give your C8 Corvette this kind of widebody treatment?
