There is significant uncertainty about what this electric C8-based sports vehicle may be. Reuss did not expressly refer to the car as a Corvette on GM’s call but did say it will employ the C8’s architecture. However, it would be uncommon for GM to develop a sports car that was not labelled a Corvette. Making an electric car on the C8’s basis may have required so many changes that the company no longer considered it appropriate to name it America’s sports car. But this is just conjecture.
There was no new information released regarding the top-tier Corvette with an internal combustion engine (and potentially hybrid batteries), but it was formally recognised, which has never occurred before. The evidence for the existence of that spacecraft has been mounting, but there hasn’t been much in the way of teasers or formal pronouncements. In contrast, the first all-wheel drive, hybrid Corvette has yet to be introduced. We are aware of its existence. It will most likely replace the Grand Sport trim that has been available on Corvettes for several decades.
