Corvette Scotland Launch
Corvette Scotland Launch
On a dark, gloomy and wet March Thursday evening Corvette had some big announcements for the UK. A gathering of guests conjured at Corvette Glasgow, a selection of Corvettes where on display with one silhouette under wraps.
As canapes circulated and guest speakers made their appearance, the build up for the unveiling intensified. Once it was time, the guests gathered round this cloaked vehicle and anticipated built up to reveal the first right hand drive Corvette E-Ray in the country. An all wheel drive electrified 2 seat Stingray that boasts impressive sub 3 second to 60mph acceleration, in part due to its 6.2l V8 petrol engine and the electric motor on the front axle.
The interior of the new C8 Corvette is driver focused with the cockpit being angled towards the driver. A row of buttons divides the passenger from the driver. The steering wheel feels right in your hands and the seats offer a reassuring amount of support, that I am sure will be useful out on the road.
Expect to see the C8 Corvette variants on UK roads in 2025 with prices starting around £100,000.
