When the eighth-generation Corvette made its debut four years ago, some long-time fans questioned how much further Chevrolet could go after rolling out the first mid-engine version of what has come to be known as “America’s sports car.” They got their answer Thursday night when the bowtie brand rolled out what is likely to be the “ultimate” version of the ‘Vette – at least an all-gas model.
