The idea of a mid-engine Corvette isn’t a new one. Zora-Arkus Duntov, the famous GM engineer who was deeply involved in the Corvette program, designed and introduced the first mid engine Chevrolet concept vehicle in 1959. It was called the CERV I, and Duntov used it as a testing platform for his mid-engine Corvette plans. Duntov would go on to design several more mid-engine concept vehicles with the hopes of convincing the higher-ups at GM to put a mid-engine Corvette into production, but he was never given the go ahead.
Well, in July 2019, 60 years after Duntov’s first mid-engine concept, GM shocked the car world when they officially unveiled the highly anticipated C8 Corvette. They finally did it, GM built a mid-engine Corvette, and it looks awesome!
