The C8 isn’t a classical beauty, but still a visually striking car that drips aggression

The C8 Corvette starts at just Dh317,671, although its performance is within sniffing distance of the Ferrari F8 Tributo, Lamborghini Huracan Evo and McLaren 570S

The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C8 is fitted with a 6.2-litre LT2 V8 engine

The familiar front engine has been relocated behind the passenger compartment in the new-gen C8

The C8 doesn’t embody the long-snout-short-tail proportions that have been a hallmark of every Corvette since the 1953 C1

Familiar Corvette styling cues come by way of the tail lights

The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C8 goes from 0 to 100kph in 3.1 seconds and has a top speed of 312kph

The car has a firm grip, great balance in the chassis and handles corners well on winding roads

The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C8 has a sports exhaust, an electronic limited-slip diff and an aero package that adds downforce

UAE-spec cars come standard with the Z51 Performance package, which includes goodies such as Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres, firmer suspension and bigger brakes

The C8 comes with optional Magnetic Ride Control dampers, whose firmness can be adjusted by selecting the Tour, Sport or Track modes

The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C8 is fitted with a new eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox with paddle shifters, and has a hexagonal steering

Road test: Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C8 proves it can be worth tweaking a beloved formula

Its performance is within sniffing distance of the Ferrari F8 Tributo or Lamborghini Huracan Evo, yet the Chevy costs about a third of either
