The Corvette Might Have Looked Like THIS If The Engine Was Still Up Front - Is That Such A Bad Thing?

For the most part, the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette launched with considerable praise. It’s hard to fault a 490-horsepower, mid-engined V8 supercar you can buy for under $60,000. If anything, the ‘Vette’s styling is where the bulk of criticism lies. Depending on who you talk to, the C8 looks fantastic, or it looks like a 15-year-old Ferrari, or of particular interest to this post, looks nothing like a proper Corvette. To address that last point, we offer these renderings from j.b.cars on Instagram that recast the C8 as a Corvette with the engine in front.

The C7 is styled better than the C8.

What's done is done, but this front engined design would not have been unwelcome.

There is really nothing better, from a proportion and appearance standpoint, than the long-nose front engine stance. It might not be best from a handling standpoint but hands-down the long hood ALWAYS looks the best.

The C7 is just a gorgeous design and I think the apogee of the Corvette (except for the 50;s and 60;s models).

The C8 is not good looking - it is a "performance tool' and its design reflects that.
