Blue Chevrolet Corvette

Name: Blue Chevrolet Corvette
Brand: Chevrolet
Price: 349 USD
Availability: InStock

Four hundred and ninety-five horsepower behind the seats, and a colour that makes the shape look like it is already moving.

Rental in Los Angeles · from $349

Chevrolet spent sixty years putting the engine in the front. Then it stopped, and everything changed at once.

The C8 is the Corvette that moved the V8 behind the seats — 495 horsepower, sixty in under three seconds, a nose that drops away out of sight and a price that still undercuts everything it now resembles. In blue, which is what this shape was drawn for.

01In profile the cab sits so far forward it looks like a concept car that escaped. Everything behind the doors is engine and air.

Moving the engine backwards changed the whole car. The driver sits almost over the front axle, the bonnet falls away out of sight, and it turns in with a precision no front-engined Corvette ever managed. The boot moved under the bonnet, and a second one appeared behind the engine.

What did not change is the sound. Six point two litres, naturally aspirated, pushrods and all — the deep flat noise Americans have been making since 1955, now from a foot behind your shoulders on Mulholland.

Sixty years with the engine in front.
Then one model changed everything.

02Everything behind the doors is intake. Four lights, four pipes and a diffuser — this is the view the rest of the road is given.

Queries

How much does it cost to rent a Corvette in Los Angeles?

The blue Corvette is $349 a day. Five days is priced as a block rather than as five separate days, and twenty-one as another; the quote takes whichever combination is cheaper for your dates, and neither has to be asked for. Delivery to our Beverly Hills partner hotels is complimentary.

What is the difference from the red convertible?

The same mid-engined V8 underneath. This one is the coupé with the roof panel in place, which makes it the quieter of the two to look at and the tidier one on a canyon road.

How far ahead should I book it?

There is one blue Corvette in the fleet and it is the car people book for a specific weekend. Name the date early and it is held for you.
