2020 Corvette Convertible Reveal

The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette convertible reveal continued to pile-on impressive stats for the eighth generation iconic, soon to be, mid-engine sports coupe.

Chevy pulled the cover off the C8 convertible in simultaneous events held on both coasts of the US.  And, we were on hand for the left coast shindig held at the newly opened Motoring Club in Marina del Rey, CA.

Of course, all of the 2020 Corvette reveal details shared by my friend Lewis Cook from Martin Chevrolet remain entirely relevant.  But here's what we found out during the 2020 Corvette convertible reveal:

How much is the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible?

First, let's get this question out of the way.  Because how much the 2020 Corvette Convertible costs was at the top of everyone's list of question during the revel as well.

Inviting driver-focused cockpit.And here's what Chevrolet is telling us. The 2020 Corvette Convertible MSRP will be $67,495 for the entry-level 1LT trim.  But what's perhaps more impressive is that the key stats of the vehicle pretty much stay intact from its non-convertible sibling.

So, if the first-ever hardtop convertible Corvette isn't exciting enough, then consider this.

The two-piece hardtop activates at speeds up to 30 mph.  And to be perfectly clear, that's not while you're sitting in gusts of wind up to 30 mph.

That's while you're driving at speeds up to 30 mph!

The convertible hardtop stows in a compartment just above the mid-engine of the Corvette C8.

Chevy states that it's made of lightweight composite panels and heat shields to manage the heat generated by the mid-engine.

So, pretty cool feature there.  Additionally, the 2020 Corvette convertible revealed shared that the hardtop retracts in as little as 16-seconds.
