It is possible to spy the entire right-hand-drive Corvette.
The Chevy corvette C8 made big changes to the iconic car, placing the engine in front of the driver. It wasn’t the only thing Chevy wanted with its new sports car. There’s also a right-hand drive version, making it a truly global model. Although has previewed the flipped cockpit by the automaker, this is the first time we have seen the RHD Corvette in all its glory.
It was amazing how long it took for the car to be spotted in the wild. Tadge Juechter, Corvette’s Executive Chief Engineering Officer, stated back in August that the Golden Bow Tie was a problem. Already built RHD test cars, and they were being tested It was in the US at that time. New spy photos show a Corvette in Accelerate Yellow Metallic with the driver seated on the right side. It features the Z51 Performance Package, which can be identified by its rear spoiler and upgraded brakes. The body-color accents are also visible.
Chevy’s interior design team worked hard to create a driver-focused environment regardless of where it is sold. Although Chevy isn’t revealing any details about the powertrain, overseas customers can expect the same outstanding performance. The Corvette can produce up to 495 horsepower (369 Kilowatts) or 470 pound-feet (637 Newton meters) of torque in the US when it is equipped with the Z51 performance pack. This packs powers the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
The RHD Corvette will be available in Japan, Australia, and the UK. Japan will be the first market to receive the RHD Corvette. The model sold more than 300 units in 60 hours. This is remarkable for a car that is still under testing. Chevy admitted that the RHDC8 could pose a threat to the brand. Juechter previously expressed concerns about Australia’s sales volume, but if Japan is any indication there will be many people waiting to purchase the new car. In the next few months, an official debut is expected.
