No no no no. This is bad. Corvette = front engine. There are plenty of mid-engine sports cars. I loved the fact that Corvette had always held fast to the front engine layout. I think the last generation front-engine Corvettes are going to increase in value from this point forward.
This is the most significant sports car of my lifetime and I'm old.
drive it to my place
1:55 Jay, there is the Porsche Cayman and Boxster that are both mid-engine and cost less than $100,000. The Cayman GT4 has 414 hp, and 0-60 around 4 seconds
Jay, I'm guessing ur getting the 3LT. What color?
Jay is using marketing magic by placing himself wearing much nicer than normal attire next to the Corvette to project a rise of value in the car.
I like Chevys approach that they priced this so that its affordable and attainable. Nice job.
Any news if this will be left hand drive only ? Love to this in the UK.
Jay, please stay with the Chambray shirt. It's your iconic look.
"Brembo brakes, all the way around"...? For a while GM's design boffins were considering only putting the Brembo items on the left side, with a Girlock unit on the right-rear, and no brake at all on the right-front corner. Tedious, uncreative bean-counters demanded this arrangement be reconsidered - not solely to reassure Leno - before the final designed was locked in.
c8 is super car?
yea still looks a little toyish at the back, but otherwise the shape is very nice
$60,000 Jay...WRONG!!! Mister Engineer....says the starting point is under $60K? Did you boys and girls hear that? That is the key.....you can get a basic bare bones LT1 at the Starting point...which does not include dealer costs, or taxes and has nothing but old school technology with the cool new mid engine. Do you want that? Who does? I don't! This car you are looking at has the Z51 package because the spoiler gives it away as does the ground works. Add $5000 to that number and you are starting at just under $65K. The car is highly optional and based on all the USclip vides if you go for the 2Lt package with the Z51 package you will be pushing $80K by the time you figure in dealer cost and taxes.....It is sad that top guys with all the money like Jay cannot get their facts or scripts right as he did with the tonight show and are misinforming us here. Oh well....he don't care...he made his money and can buy what ever he wants....the rest of us will work like slaves and try to get there...but thanks Jay....i know as the rest of us you did not do this intentionally.
I love ya Jay, but you were kinda awkward in this one.
Awesome car, I am from the Netherlands in Europe and I am going to order my C8 corvette in March next year it will be a convertible with 1lt package torch red with black interior will be perfect for me
It doesnt count jay its not in your garage,ha ha ha.
Aluminium "hood" 😂
Jay is loosing it!
I predict there will be a lot of these cars wrecked by people not experienced in the handling characteristics of a mid engine car.

Passing through for Jay:
Viscous Coupling
There are of course differences in the power struggles of the sexes, the transfer of power though, the differential approach called viscous coupling, has a wider automotive ring to it too. I think all of human life though as we know it through the ages, has begun by this simple phrase. It's been coming into my mind lately and here it is explained :
auto.howstuffworks.com/differential5.htm
Led Zeppelin perhaps a little rougher around the edges in their approach in 1976 on the Album Physical Graffiti, hinted at the same general automotive analog to human sexuality in "Trampled Under Foot"

I don't really like a Corvette that looks like Ferrari, I like a Corvette that looks like Corvette!!
Totally Bitchen.
Its a great looking car, but is it a Corvette, im not sure
Jay getting old
I know I will see these on every corner in Detroit next year not interested
Looks a lot like the Acura NSX? No imagination chevy!
It looks nothing like the NSX but ok
He looks so impressed and happy with his work with his arms crossed
Johnny come lately, 1964 gt 40
Jay Leno, I love you dearly and enjoy your wry and biting sense of humor done with utmost gentility. Yes there are very, very many stupid as well as uneducated among us. Anyway that is not why I am responding.
I think that the chief should have spoken more about "his" baby rather than you giving him leading questions. GM has taken a calculated risk in order to create, (if their metrics are correct), excitement for people to check out a Chevy dealer. I hope they are right. If they the new Corvette can match or exceed a Honda NSX ... at a considerably lower price point... that is all the better.
I love cars, I am a mechanical engineer, you LOVE cars. But at the end of the day, they were designed to replace the horse. Sort of like microwave/ toaster ovens were deigned to make our life less burdensome.
Someone loan me 60.000 please
WE LOVE YOU LENO!!
WE'LL BE WATCHING!
Omg I love this car
Is jay drunk?
No, he's just not sober.
So called dealer in nj to preorder order the new C8 lol 169k the ray is 60k so that's 120k + right.
It's BS. In this video they talk about it having the fastest 0-60 of any any production vette, but that's the zr1. and then they say it starts at 60K. Two different models lol
No one looks down the hood to "clip an apex".
This is $60k?!? And so it the new Jeep truck?!?!
Why is Rick Flair doing a cameo as Jay?
Like myself, Jay looks mid-engine too!
they're being really shady with this car they wouldn't even let him drive it on the road
I dont like the look of them with the top off
So my cousin has a C8 2016, and he says there will be quite a bit of heat on the back seat. True or false?
C7?
junk
Dam thing looked better with the zebra stripes. God that thing is hideous.
Hey Ed Piatek- hope you're listening! The C8 is sweet but.... Give me a 6 speed manual and I might buy it.
Jay seems amazed about the Targa top... a feature of nearly every Corvette hardtop since 1984...
I want.
Wow it Audi r 8,hmmmmmm
A super car for 60k. Look out Italy.
@Clarice Davey don't think so
Dont worry there laughing at us
That's badass. I know it's not traditional front-engine, but Chevy wants to compete with more exotic cars, this is how to do it. I know these are going to sell for over 100K+ just from shear demand. 60K MSRP is amazing though for the car that it is... if you could only buy it for that much.
my order is going in for 77 tomorrow afternoon for a pretty loaded car.
Side profile. Ford gt
Front profile Ferrari
Rear profile camaro
Hi, Jay. Dexter here. Just a thought: Mid-engined cars all over $100,000? Let's see, Porsche Cayman, Porsche Boxster....
@Peppino Esposito My bad. Thanks.
he was very clear about being in the same class. he mentioned the MR2. the base cayman is a 275 hp car. over 200 less.
Borat Sagdiyev: What kind of car can I buy that attract woman with hairless vagine?
Car Dealership owner: That would be a Corvette.
Hairless yes, but such an impressive mustache. BTW: I always thought the right car for such a woman was the Trabant Turbo GT.
So no one's going to acknowledged the Ferrari parts or look
Chevy Gt
Would have never been interested in an American car… Fit & finish, interieur quality, materials, innovation, looks, all too very important for me. Rather pay 60k for a used BMW than a new what-is-it-called-uglo. Don't care how fast sth is on the straight, how much it can pull, how cheap it is. But man, did GM a good job on this thing, very exciting. Hope to see more from them, maybe a little more directing finish and quality in the future.
It'll be quick, but with the same pushrod V8, the fact that 6,600 rpm will have to do, and no manual, then it's an old man's sports car.
Please.... STOP CALLING IT A CORVETTE...!! Its a Euro/Asian Knock off "Cuck-Car". Wouldn't be caught dead in one. Its not just Ugly.... Its FUGLY...!! The Design Team at Chevy is Slowly Destroying the Brand. I Put this POS right up there with the "New" "Cuck-Blazer" design. Just Stopped Buying Chevy. At least anything new. YUK.
I cant argue that fact to much, But.... I have had vettes in the past, They were ok looking. right now, I have a 2008 Vette. And the Lines on that car are just Really Beautiful. I think it was the best looking vette since the Split Window. But this thing they are producing now.... Hey Chevy..... Toyota called, THEY WANT THIER FRONT END DESIGN BACK.
Can't remember a Corvette being produced in past 45 yrs which isn't ugly
Good bye american styling
Seems that I'm the only one here that senses the death of the 'REAL Corvette'.
Not that it's a bad car......but you should have named it something else.
@Marco D'Magnifico ... Nice history...but it doesn't seem to have much relationship to my comment.
@blondwiththewind : Aero-vette?
In the 1970's GM toyed with the idea of a mid-engined three rotor wankel powered Aero-Vette idea. I was in high school and remember doing mechnical design drawings of one I saw in Motor Trend. GM stuck with the "Stingray" look and pushrod engines, I graduated from high school and moved on. My first car was FIAT X1/9, mid-engined OHC design, I stopped looking at GM as anything but old people cars (they were still pushing Landua tops and fake spoked white walls).
Sadly it was the enormously successful sales of the Mako Shark design from the mid-60's that came to embody the Corvette which morphed in the long front end and short rear swoopy fenders look that became the 1960's Gen3, Gen 4 (late 60's, 70's and early 80's), design that lasted so long, practically every including GM never looked beyond so they continued to build the Corvette Gen 5 (1984) as a fossil at birth desinged more the senior citizen crowd than as cutting edge. Seriously, push rods in the 21st century? (not even in my lawn mower).
@Marco D'Magnifico .... Maybe so....but I'm fond of the legendary Corvette.... and I'm grieving. To my mind: this car is not a Corvette.....it should have been named something new. I don't like how it looks, either. Looks like a matchbox car to me.
If by "real Corvette" you mean the "Stingray"; it was long over due.
Ford GT40 was years ahead of the curve (decades ahead the 'vette)
along with Lambo, Ferrari, and well almost everyone else with mid-engined race and performance road car.
OMG I want a bright red one please.
Jay looks like he's wife dressed him.
Someone please tell Jay that getting in is called INGRESS, exiting the vehicle is EGRESS
It's ugly, it doesn't even look like a Corvette.
Chevy required that you know how to play golf or put turbos in your car before they sell you one.
The body looks like corvette tried to copy Ferrari as much as they could. It's actually a decent attempt. Acura tried the same thing with 1990's NSX
IrontoughItalian Acura NSX was way better looking then the 348.
This is 60k? HA! Add any options, plus 'Adjusted Dealer Mark-up', and your looking at 100k easily. And they will sell them!!
List price is fake--you will NEVER EVER see this car under $80K...
@Peppino Esposito The front engine Vette has been out forever--just try and find one for the base $56,000 anywhere. GM will not sell you one at that price, because they will lose money.
Correct for now. You really can't order the base yet. 70k is about the lowest you can go if you want one in january.
It has a fronk to hide hookers
Come on, Jay... $60K is a pipe dream. Chevrolet dealers will be gouging buyers for a couple of years on this car. For instance, $999 for paint "protection". $699 for screw head polishing. $1099 for leather protection application, $599 for lug bolt tightening...... You get the picture. And yes, people will pay.
That must be Jay's brother because he's not wearing blue jeans and and blue shirt....
Love at 1st sight
Anybody else getting Acura NSX vibes from this?
boxter is less than 180K - you loud mouth know it all
@Peppino Esposito "there's no mid-engine car i can think of less than $180,000" is what he said
did you hear what he said? it has 200 less horsepower. He mentioned a car in the Boxster's class. The MR2.
So few things in life live up to expectations, and even fewer surpass them. Thank you, Corvette, for doing both.
THAAAANNNKKK YOU CHEVY ! Finally someone thinking about the little guy !
Bryan Dover you’re right ! I thought compared to Italian super cars it’s not a bad buy
You'll change your mind after the stealership is done with you. The guy with the keys to the showroom front door is the real king in this scenario. He's the one who will be tacking on $15K for "Market Value Adjustment Fee".
