C8 Corvette CAD Images Leaked!

• Coil springs.
• Magshocks (or spool valve, either way, fancy shocks).
• Upper front arms look to be similar to C5/6/7 with trunions.
• Lower front arms look to be similar to C5/6/7 with camber eccentrics.
• Rear subframe is HUGE and is a very strange mix of cast parts and welded tube. Can’t tell if it’s welded or bolted together in the middle.
• Engine is an LT1.
• Looks like factory shorty headers instead of cast manifolds.
• Engine has alternator relocated.
• Not sure what the upper-right accessory pulley is for. Upper left is water pump, lower right is AC.
• Oil filter looks easy to get to.
• Oil cooler clearly shown above filter.
• Half-shafts look to be the “bolt on flange” style (no draining trans to remove shafts).
• That transaxle is BEEFY. Like, dear god. Can’t tell if it’s auto or manual. If I had to wager, that’s the automatic (guessing from shape of bottom of trans and what looks to be coolershanging around it).
• Giant flat space above transaxle is more than likely for intake box/filter.
• No turbos shown.
• Frame looks to be similar to C5/6/7 with giant hydroformed rails (probably still aluminum). Disppappointing. I was hoping for proper unibody. Hopefully with a fixed roof it’ll be stiffer.
• Brake rotors are 1 piece. Calipers are MASSIVE.
• Side skirts are mechanically fastened just like C5/6/7. Still going to be horrendously expensive to fix if damaged.
• Brake ducts clearly shown on front.
