It'll be interesting to find out the MSRP. I'm guessing $250,000ish.
Looks absolutely bonkers though!

I called this when I saw the debut of the C8. The chassis/body had room for AWD twin turbo hybrid powertrain engineered into it.

Like 9/10 comments on their fb was asking if it came in a manual gearbox 😂

For sure. Yea flappy pedal gearboxes are faster but they take the soul out of driving.

Truth.
Hopefully sombody figures out how to swap that bad ass drivetrain and suspension into a body less ugly in the near future.
I personally like the black one in that video better than the riced out white one regardless of how fast it is around a track.
Other than being TT it's none of those things

Should be an amazing performer. GM has had some colossal short falls in the past, cooling issues, brake fade, etc., hopefully they've learned.

Great observation. Nothing gets past you.
Point is I saw in the way it (the C8) was engineered that they allowed themselves the capability to do all of those things.
Here’s where they made the C8 an AWD hybrid.
It’s only a matter of time before they do a TT hybrid.
Zora maybe.

no one is going to be working on one themselves.
To even get to the motor on mine is stupid as fuck, there is about 40 screws that must be removed just to take the access panel off that covers the engine area.
These cars are going to be near impossible to get, no one is going to order the stripped down base model and they got rid of the middle model.
Starting price will be about $225 plus $100k ADM, so $300K+ to get into one in the next few years.
Besides bragging rights, I don't actually see this being that great of a car to drive.
1k+ HP is a fugging handful

I guess I am weird, I often respond in order of reading the posts.
I am kinda into the C8's so I was blessing the board with my wide breadth of knowledge on them
I currently drive the slow 670 HP one.
This is true, but I just had a gander up the skirt of a new Supra and I wouldn't mind working on it in comparison.
I just feel bad for that tech who has to pull it in the future. Gawd I hate Northstar motors.

If they do a TT AWD hybrid with torque vectoring it’s really going to upset the Europeans.

Did you see where the top speed was stated to be "comfortable at 215"
We are living in a crazy time right now.
These numbers were not even a thought back in the day, like the stupidest shit I could come up with as a kid is not even close to what they actually have now.

I am sure that is going to be the "Zora"
I also do not understand how they will balance it with ~ 200 HP in the front and 1,000+ in the rear, but I am not a real smart guy so that isn't surprising.

Remember when modding your pony car engine beyond 350 hp was a big deal?
Now I can bolt-on 500 NA hp in my old BBB (Big Block Buick) without serious engineering trouble and call it a day. I have a 311 hp v8 SUV that is 18 years old, and a 4-cylinder car with 310 hp. Anything without the nostalgic tug behind the breastplate can get a turboed 6.2 swapped in with off-the-shelf adapters (for the most part) and have 700-1200 hp in 2 days' time.
Wild times. The most difficult limit to overcome is fitting tires that can handle it.

I would rather have a Chevette Diesel with 64hp.

I am surprised we are not able to get some bolt on electric traction control yet, that is all that is missing now.

A modded 1.8? Stock they made 51. You’ll have a hard time keeping that thing on the road with all that powerI would rather have a Chevette Diesel with 64hp.

Most of the new "exotics" with high hp/tq rating have the computer limit the power in the lower gears so you don't just roast the tires.Remember when modding your pony car engine beyond 350 hp was a big deal?

God damned noobs. There are multiple companies that make bolt on traction control kits. Racetronics and RaceTCS are just two of them.

Almost anything with an aftermarket ecu does traction control, and there are aftermarket traction control boxes out there.. I don't know anything about them other than they do exist. No idea if they play well with oem stuff or what.

These people asking for a standard are dumb. I have a high hp standard and it can be downright scary taking a hand off the wheel to shift.

The interview I saw with the head engineer said they absolutely limit power in low gears, both for traction and component life
