If you live in Europe, your window of opportunity to buy a new

2019 Chevy Camaro

or

Chevy Corvette

C7 with a V8 may be closing. While we knew that there was a Final Edition C7

Corvette

on sale in Europe (pictured above), we assumed that was simply because the mid-engine C8 was on the way.

According to automotive news site Motoring Research

, however, sales of both the ‘Vette and the

Camaro

will stop after August 31, 2019 when new WLTP emissions rules go into effect that the two vehicles don’t comply with. We’ve reached out to

Chevrolet

for confirmation, but haven’t received any comment at the time of publishing.

We’re not so sure this is the end of

Chevy

V8s in Europe, though. Chevrolet hasn’t specifically said in which markets it will offer

the mid-engine C8 Corvette

, but the UK

dealer

that currently is the source of new Camaros and Corvettes in that country has said it’s taking orders for the new model. And everything we’ve seen so far indicates

the mid-engine car will be V8-powered

, unless

GM

has been hiding some turbo V6 or something for overseas markets.

If we get any official word from Chevrolet, we’ll be sure to update this story.
