Chevrolet Corvette Stingray: Mid-Engine Sports Car (2020 Car of the Year)
It was the third time the Corvette was honored by a select 50-member jury of independent journalists as car of the year. First in 1998, again in 2014, and then, in 2020.
The North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year Awards honors automotive excellence in safety, design, performance, driver satisfaction, value, and technology.
Originally founded in 1994 by Christopher Jensen, NACTOY awards are judged by approximately 50 professional automotive journalist jurors from both Canada and the US.
These journalists work for independent magazines, radio, TV, industry websites, and newspapers.
Chevrolet Corvette Mid-Engine Marvel
For the new 2021 year, the Chevy Corvette continues to carve out its legacy with its mid-engine marvel. The balance of design and performance puts you out in front with just the touch of a button.
With available 495 horsepower, a top track speed of 194 MPH and 0-60 in just 2.9 seconds, this is head-turning performance. Now with new design options available—the FE2 suspension, Drive Mode Selector Visualization, and Wireless Phone Projection, the Corvette Stingray is even more fun to drive.
And the LT2 V-8 engine is visible through the rear hatch window in the coupe model. Definitely not your everyday car, it is, however, a car you want to drive every, single day.
The Corvette makes a powerful statement while combining form with function and beauty. The mid-engine configuration provides rear weight bias with more weight directed to the rear wheels—and that’s where it matters most!
The windshield is positioned over the front wheels which improves the downforce without the need for a front air dam.
A Drive Tailored for You
Every detail of the Corvette Stingray is designed to provide an immersive and natural driving experience. Each button is positioned so that they are exactly where they need to be for a comfortable, safe, and intuitive drive.
And with a variety of seat combinations, you are sure to find the perfect for you.
