The Corvette is best known for its dramatic V8 heart, unmistakable style and surprising comfort. Its purpose has always been to offer supercar thrills at a more accessible price. Over eight generations since 1953, it has evolved from front-engined, V8-powered icons like the C7 (2014) to the latest mid-engined C8 generation, which offers sharper handling and rivals European sports cars. The newest models are more modern and equipped to deliver comfort on commutes and joy on open roads.
The latest Chevrolet Corvette sports car, the C8, features a range of driver aids for peace of mind. Standard equipment often includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and multiple airbags. There’s also a digital rear-view mirror and front and rear cameras, making parking more manageable.
Most recent Corvettes, especially the C7 and C8, feature a naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 petrol engine. The C8 version for Europe produces 475bhp, allowing for thrilling acceleration. Earlier C7 models offer similar V8s but with slightly different power outputs and usually rear-wheel drive. Some older US imports may vary.
All modern Corvettes come with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Many trims also include a 14-speaker Bose audio system. Other standard features include a digital instrument cluster, keyless entry, heated and ventilated seats and head-up display on higher trims.
The latest C8 Corvette claims a combined figure of roughly 23mpg, though it can reach over 30mpg at steady speeds thanks to cylinder deactivation technology. Expect earlier models to be similarly fuel guzzling – something to keep in mind if running costs play a key role in your choice.
As you would with any powerful sports car, check for evidence of up-to-date servicing and careful treatment. Inspect the interior and electronics for wear, look for accident repairs and, for imported models, confirm official UK compliance. The AA Vehicle Inspection provides extra confidence.
While long-term UK data is limited, newer Corvettes are praised for improved build quality and come with a three-year/36,000-mile warranty. Properly serviced examples tend to be reliable, but as with any high-performance car, regular maintenance is key to stress-free ownership.
