Mid-Engined Corvette C8 Interior Revealed with Two-Spoke Wheel, Digital Mirror

Fret not, future C8 Corvette buyers, your-mid engined supercar won't come with a pair of flying hands, nor is Thing T. Thing (you know, the hand from the Adams Family) involved in the development process. Instead, the agitated wrists seen in these spy photos belong to the test driver trying to prevent the dashboard from getting revealed. Well, as you can notice, that effort was pretty much in vain and we can talk about plenty of mid-engined Corvette cabin details.

We'll kick things off with the digital dashboard of the upcoming Chevy halo car. As revealed by the instrument cluster of this spied prototype, a digital tachometer takes center stage, with this housing a digital speedo in its center. This area of the instrument cluster also allows us to notice the future evolution of the Corvette logo.

The rev counter is flanked by a G-Force meter on the left (this reads up to 1.25G) and an infotainment display on the right.

Then there's the steering wheel. Packing two spokes and using a flat approach for the top and bottom, this seems to have been inspired by the styling cues that have defined the Corvette over the ages.

As for the rear-view mirror, this comes to confirm the rumors about its dual mode - as already seen on Cadillacs, the mirror can be used as a standard glass piece or can serve as a display that relies on a rear-view camera system. The image displayed here is certainly the latter and it's good to know there's a workaround for the visibility limitations brought by the mid-engined layout.

Moving to the exterior of the mid-engined Chevy, the prototype seems to wear camo that's lighter than ever, albeit with the disguise preventing us from getting the full picture.

Regardless, with the production front and rear light clusters in place, we can notice the slim LED strips placed above the taillights of the tester, which seem to work as brake lights and turn signals.

Oh, and don't worry about that check engine light on the dashboard. This is just a prototype and nobody loves that ambiguous warning anyway...
