Although we saw the new C8 on static display at Corvettes at Carlisle and at the National Corvette Museum's 25th Anniversary event in Bowling Green in August, the first cars for customers are only being produced now in February 2020 and first deliveries will take place soon. This video came out today and is a very good overview of the car. Still pictures do not do the car justice.
The title of the video suggests the C8 will be strong competition for Ferrari, Porsche, and McLaren. I do not think this is the case for the first two cars although it could be for McLaren. People who want Ferraris and Porsches (especially 911s) want those cars for reasons beyond performance only. However, there are number of other sports cars (Cayman, Supra, Z4, even NSX) that will feel the pressure. The Corvette offers impressive performance, a beautiful interior and a degree of practicality at a very competitive price.
