Lingenfelter Readies Corvette C8 Show Rig With Continental Livery

Its performance is not described in detail.

Chevrolet share a rich history. Ken Lingenfelter tweeted pictures of a 2020 Corvette C8 Stingray in its renowned Continental Tire livery. This suggests that the company may be developing aftermarket parts. The details about the car and the show rig that it will take on tour when such events are possible are not available.

Lingenfelter reserves Continental livery for the most high-performing products. We are curious about the upgrades to the powertrain. The Corvette Stingray comes with a 6.2-liter LT2 engine from GM. It produces 490 horsepower (364 kilowatts), and 465 lb-ft (623 Newton-meters). Lingenfelter’s modifications should lead to a significant increase in power. This is assuming that Lingenfelter can crack GM’s difficult cybersecurity features.

According to some reports, GM’s stricter security measures will make it more difficult for tuners modify the Corvette’s code. The computer will put the car in recovery mode if you inject something it doesn’t recognize. To fix the problem, you will need to have the original code of the car.

GM stated that it did not want to abandon its performance customers at the end of the year. However, the company insisted that modern-day vehicles should be secure. The Corvette features GM’s new electric architecture, which is designed for electric and autonomous vehicles. It said that it was still exploring the ” next steps within the calibration space.”

As summer draws to a close outdoor car events will likely be short-lived. Lingenfelter is yet to announce when it will start showing off its Corvette show rig. We expect that Lingenfelter will eventually offer upgrades to the Corvette, if it is like other tuners’ creations. There is no code that is impossible to crack. Tuners have been able to bypass security features on the C7 but not the C8. We will have to wait and see what Lingenfelter did to its car.
