The flagship modification of the mid-engine sports car turned out to be so powerful that under high loads the glass panel covering the engine compartment cracks.
The most aggressive version of the new Corvette will get a twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The expected power of the unit is from 900 to 1000 horsepower. Such power plants are already installed on test samples, and they turned out to be excessively powerful, which led to deformation of the aluminum load-bearing structure. According to informed sources, the dynamics of such cars are alarming, and General Motors is already consulting with lawyers regarding the potential consequences of releasing such a version to the market.
In December of last year, information appeared that the electrical system of the new Chevrolet Corvette cannot withstand increased loads, and the only way out is its complete replacement. This work may take about six months.
