The latest Chevrolet Corvette has changed the game. General Motors showed the world that you can build a real mid-engine supercar at a much lower price than most exotic cars.
Yes, Chevy had to cut a few corners. But overall, they nailed it with the C8 Corvette. This isn't new news—it's been around for over four years now. In that time, the Corvette family grew to include the sharper Z06 and the electrified E-Ray with all-wheel drive.
The 2025 Corvette ZR1 is Coming
Now, Chevy is getting ready to launch the new Corvette ZR1. This top-tier model is expected to have a twin-turbo V8 engine making about 850 horsepower. It will likely come with several aerodynamic upgrades and optional performance packages.
The ZR1 will probably start around $150,000 when it hits dealerships for the 2025 model year.
C8 Corvette Still Turning Heads
Even after four years, the mid-engine Corvette still excites car fans. Since its 2020 debut, many tuning companies have released custom parts for the C8 Corvette. One of them is Liberty Walk, a famous Japanese tuning shop.
Liberty Walk's Wild Widebody C8 Corvette
Liberty Walk recently showed off a wild widebody Corvette. You can see it in the gallery above. Their founder posted pictures on social media, and more are on their official website.
This Corvette is hard to miss. It has:
- A huge rear wing
- Wide fenders that are not the usual bolt-on style
- A new front chin spoiler
- A big rear diffuser
- Side skirt add-ons
Liberty Walk also added their usual graphics on the red body. The car rides on black aftermarket wheels with wide lips. It also sits lower to the ground, likely thanks to the air-adjustable suspension. This setup makes it look track-ready with just a few more changes.
What About Power?
Is it more powerful than stock? We're not sure. Liberty Walk is known more for wild styling than performance upgrades.
So it's very possible this Corvette still has its stock engine. But that's not a bad thing. Even the base C8 Stingray is super fast.
C8 Corvette Performance Stats
Here's what the base C8 Corvette Stingray can do:
- 6.2-liter V8 engine
- Up to 495 horsepower
- 0–60 mph in just 2.9 seconds
- Top speed: 194 mph (312 kph)
- Quarter-mile: 11.2 seconds
- Starting price: $68,300 (before fees and destination)
Final Thoughts: Is the Widebody Corvette Worth It?
This widebody C8 Corvette by Liberty Walk is all about bold looks. It may not be faster, but it sure stands out. So, what do you think—yay or nay?
