According to the latest intel from the Corvette Forum, the mid-engined Corvette C8 will cost $169,900. And that would make it not only more than three times as expensive as the current base Stingray, but significantly pricier than even today's ZR1, which starts just over $120k. But there may be a bit of a silver lining or two to this story. Chevrolet For starters, it wouldn't put the C8 in the same league as supercars like the Ferrari 488, Lamborghini Huracan, and McLaren 720S – which carry sticker prices closer to the $300k mark. Instead it would put it closer to the likes of the Acura NSX, Audi R8, McLaren 570S, and higher-end versions of the Mercedes-AMG GT and Porsche 911 (like the GT3 and Turbo). And it'd certainly come in less than the Ford GT – another mid-engined American supercar, which costs a good $450k. In that context, even a $170k Vette would seem like a relative bargain. But there's more. As other commenters on the forum point out, that rather hefty sticker price could be for the top version. More accessible variants could, then, still come in closer to the $100k mark that the ZR1 so startlingly broke through in its last iteration. One way or another, the sticker would likely make the mid-engined Corvette one of – if not the absolute – most expensive cars made in America. That honor currently belongs to the Acura NSX that's built in Ohio and commands a $157,500 price of admission. (The Ford GT, bear in mind, is assembled north of the border in Ontario.)
