The Chevrolet Corvette community is doing its best to come up with fresh C8 developments given the current global issues. So while aftermarket players are striving to dig deeper into the 10s quarter-mile arena the 2020 Corvette Stingray has already entered, digital artists are had at work creating previews for the wave of builds that will come upon us. Case in point with the rendering we have here.
This pixel portrait sitting before us introduces a road-legal conversion for the C8.R. And while the fresh arrival status of the racecar means such a transformation isn't too likely, the aftermarket side of the industry will probably come up with "added R" aero packages for the road car.
Now, those of you who follow our Speed Shot stories might be familiar with the idea, since we've discussed it in the past, also thanks to a rendering coming from Karan Adivi. However, the digital artist has now introduced a few small changes like the generous titanium exhaust tips to the vehicle, along with a massive background transformation.
The slab of America now enjoys its own home, as you'll get to see in the social media post at the bottom of the page. And, as the artist points out, creating this wasn't easy on the hardware.
If we look past the front and rear fascias, one easy way to tell the difference between the C8 'Vette in your garage and the racing-confined version comes from the side air intakes - you can rely on the image gallery above to spot all the features setting the two apart.
Sure, the 5.5-liter flat-plane crank V8 of the motorsport version won't be featured on potential future builds of the sort, but you can bet we'll get tons and tons of mods for the road car's also-N/A 6.2-liter LT2.
Meanwhile, make sure to check out the second Insta post below for what is currently the world's fastest C8 (think: trap speed) - still on the stock ECU, but featuring undisclosed timing tweaks and a shot of nitrous, the Cicio Performance-massaged Corvette managed to complete the 1/4-mile in 10.49s, at 130.98 mph.
