5 Suspension Features We Love On the New C8 Corvette

There is no doubting that the mid-engine layout of the C8 Corvette is impressive, but the car’s suspension setup has also got a few tricks up its sleeve.

The C8 Corvette is one of the most popular mid-engine sports cars in the market right now. In addition to its engine placement, the Bowling Green sports car has several other features that are exclusive to the nameplate’s eight-generation models. Here are five things we love about the 2020 Corvette’s suspension setup.

Coil Springs

For the first time since its introduction in 1953, Chevrolet offers a coil spring suspension system in a Corvette model. Predecessors of the C8 Corvette ran on transverse composite leaf springs, and this setup was scrapped along with a host of other mechanical components when the Golden Bow Tie brand decided to switch to the outgoing mid-engine layout. The new car runs coil spring on all four corners, and the ride and handling dynamics of the C8 Corvette are truly exceptional.
