How large is exactly a large trunk? When it comes to sports cars, expectations need to be lowered for obvious reasons. Performance may come first, but even the C8 Corvette is surprisingly spacious.
A keg fits in the front trunk as you can tell from the main photo, shared by Ryan Grimard on the C8 Corvette Owners (And Friends) group on Facebook. But as the headline implies, the mid-engine sports car can only fit a sixtel instead of a half keg. Nevertheless, that’s plenty of beer for a barbeque.
“Can you get the tap through the firewall next to the remote start,” jokingly commented Floyd Thatcher. When all is said and done, the frunk is right-sized for this type of vehicle. Including the actual trunk behind the LT2 small-block V8, Chevrolet quotes 12.6 cubic feet (357 liters) in total.
That cargo volume is 2.4 cubic feet shy of the seventh generation, but for greater perspective, the Mazda MX-5 Miata can take merely 4.6 cubic feet (130 liters) and the Audi R8 V10 supercar makes do with 8 cubic feet (226 liters). If the removable roof is stored in the rear trunk, the frunk of the C8 Corvette should be large enough for a weekender bag or two backpacks.
To those who wonder about the beer type and brewery, owner Ryan Grimard is much obliged to report that the sixtel keg is full of Double Hop Hop India Pale Ale by the Aeronaut Brewing Company. As for those who are interested in making the C8 going faster, the frunk is more than adequate for a bottle of nitrous although this mod will void the powertrain’s warranty.
On a related note, have you heard that the Stingray exceeds the EPA fuel economy estimate on the highway? Two owners have recently reported 28 and 29 miles to the gallon (8.4 and 8.1 liters per 100 kilometers, respectively) as opposed to 27, rendering the C8 more efficient than the 2020 Porsche 911.
