The 2020 Corvette C8 went into series production earlier this month and it appears the folks at Bowling Green Assembly have been busy as a YouTuber caught an assortment of models in the plant’s parking lot.
While we’ve already seen the Corvette on numerous occasions, the latest clip gives us a look at car’s various color combinations in a way that configurators simply can’t capture.
Corvetteblogger compiled a list of 19 models featured in the video and they include C8s in Accelerate Yellow, Arctic White, Black, Blade Silver, Ceramic Matrix Gray, Elkhart Lake Blue, Long Beach Red, Shadow Gray and Torch Red. There’s also variations between the vehicles as some have stripes and red brake calipers while others have different roofs.

Unveiled last summer, the 2020 Corvette is a performance bargain as it starts at $59,995 – including a $1,095 destination charge – and features a mid-mounted 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces up to 495 hp (369 kW / 502 PS) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque. This enables models equipped with the Z51 Performance Package to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 2.9 seconds and run the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds at 121 mph (195 km/h).
Even without the package, the Corvette isn’t a slouch as 60 mph (96 km/h) comes in three seconds flat. The base model also runs the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds, but finishes at a slightly faster 123 mph (198 km/h).
Besides its performance credentials, the C8 is a looker inside and out. The cabin is a major improvement as it features higher quality materials and a more modern, albeit controversial, design. Among the highlights are a 12-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8-inch infotainment system and a unique two-spoke steering wheel. Customers can also get a 14-speaker Bose premium audio system and carbon fiber or aluminum trim.
As seen in the video, the interior is highly customizable as there are three seat options and six interior colors including Jet Black, Sky Cool Gray, Adrenaline Red, Natural / Natural Dipped, Two-Tone Blue and Morello Red. There are also six seat belts in Black, Blue, Natural, Torch Red, Yellow and Orange.
