Well this is awkward. After years of seeing the mighty mid-engine C8
in
rumbling around Michigan and
, we now see it broken down at a
. According to the spy photographer, the
pulled into the gas station with no issues, but once the occupants were ready to leave, it refused to start. After close to a half hour of trying to start it, it was covered up and a tow truck called to have the ‘Vette unceremoniously hauled back to HQ.
Any breakdown of a prototype in public is unfortunate, but this is particularly rough for
since reports have been coming out of development troubles. Most notably are
, which may have been the cause of this car’s breakdown. There have also been
reports of chassis flex on the high-horsepower models
, though that may have been fixed already.
We still expect the C8 to be revealed this summer.
It will likely cost around $70,000
to start, and high horsepower models will probably break the $100,000 mark. Some sort of V8 will power it, though we’re not sure if the base engine will be a pushrod engine or possibly a double-overhead cam engine.
We also know that some kind of automatic, possibly a dual-clutch transmission
, will at least be available, if not the only transmission.
