The 2020 mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette C8 will be officially unveiled on Thursday, but die-hards have already seen a leaked photo of the rear end, the car’s new flags logo, and an official image of the steering wheel. Now comes confirmation that when the cover is pulled off the car in Orange County, California, it’ll be called the Stingray.
“The 2020 Chevrolet will debut as a Stingray July 18, 2019. Did you know the second-generation Corvette debuted as a Sting Ray in 1963?” Chevrolet touts on its media site. “This nameplate ran until 1976”—now as one word on the C3, we’ll note—”and was then revived for 2014 to introduce the seventh-generation Corvette. Chevrolet is proud to announce the Stingray name will live on.”
